# Get Started with Amazon Augmented AI
<a name="a2i-getting-started"></a>

**Note**  
Amazon SageMaker A2I is no longer open to new customers. Existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. AWS continues to invest in security and availability improvements for A2I, but we do not plan to introduce new features.

To get started using Amazon Augmented AI, review the [Core Components of Amazon A2I](a2i-getting-started-core-components.md) and [Prerequisites to Using Augmented AI](a2i-getting-started-prerequisites.md). Then, use the following documentation to learn how to use the Amazon A2I console and API. 
+ [Tutorial: Get Started in the Amazon A2I Console](a2i-get-started-console.md)
+ [Tutorial: Get Started Using the Amazon A2I API](a2i-get-started-api.md)

You can also get stared using the Amazon A2I API by following a Jupyter Notebook tutorial. See [Use Cases and Examples Using Amazon A2I](a2i-task-types-general.md) for a list of notebooks and use cases. 

**Note**  
AWS Region availability may differ when you use Augmented AI with other AWS services, such as Amazon Textract. Create Augmented AI resources in the same AWS Region that you use to interact with those AWS services. For AWS Region availability for all services, see the [Region Table](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/).
