Amazon has expanded its artificial intelligence (AI) enterprise with the launch of its chatbot Q, although its rivals aim to provide more customer-focused products.
The retail platform unveiled its chatbot in November, initially accessible to a few users. However, Andy Jassy, the firm’s CEO, reassured that making Q available to the public will be crucial in resolving developers’ misalignment issues.
According to reports, Q acts as an assistant for Amazon Web Services (AWS) users. It would gather data and workflow from firms, allowing employees to ask queries about their jobs.
Moreover, the e-commerce firm has announced that customers can now leverage the chatbot for practical purposes, such as querying about coding, human resource information, or logistics.
The tech giant’s AI focus has been significantly driven toward other businesses, with most of its releases prevailing under the AWS sector.
It employs Amazon Bedrock, a model library where firms can access the company’s large language models and other famous open-source AI models, such as Llama 3, Claude 3, and Stable Diffusion.
Furthermore, Swami Sivasubramanian, AWS VP of AI and data, shared that many users from different industries and startups are already building and innovating on top of Bedrock as a foundation for their gen-AI strategy.
These users include firms like GoDaddy, National Australia Bank, Sun Life, and Toyota Connected North America.
Q Adds New Features Ahead of Amazon’s Public Release
Amazon disclosed that it would add fresh features to its Q before launching the chatbot to the general public.
The company’s Q Developer provides aid in coding, app testing, security scanning, and troubleshooting.
Creators can also ask the chatbot to list their AWS resources to determine their computing power or seek AI agents that independently perform tasks like software updates or documenting codes.
Moreover, Q Apps overhaul features aim to make building gen-AI-based apps swiftly, even with employees without coding experience.
Amazon announced that users can describe the type of app they want in a prompt, and the chatbot will generate the software they are looking for.
