Why AWS AI Chatbot Amazon Q Bests Google, Microsoft GenAI Tech: Ruba Borno

So that means that customers’ expectation of our partners to have generative AI skills, to have generative AI offerings, to have those impact stories, has gone up significantly. And they can’t wait months in order to start developing those because by then it’ll be too late. Our Generative AI Competency was our largest competency launch in the history of the AWS Partner Network. Now with the pipeline, it’s predicted to be our fastest-growing competency ever because of the customer demand. AWS is marketing its new virtual marketplace as an AI-powered guide for companies that feel overwhelmed by the sheer variety of agents that are suddenly available, and by the technical and legal complexities that often come with them. The trend quickly took off, with research firm Gartner recently predicting that as much as half of all business decisions will be at least partially automated by agents by 2027.

The lower-cost tier gives users a chatbot that aims to solve problems and find insights from company data. It bears similarities to other chatbots in the enterprise market, letting users ask questions to speed up search results or take certain actions to complete tasks faster. The range of AWS monitoring services covered mean that teams can get chat room messages about billing and cost management, operating metrics for AWS services, security threat and compliance alerts, and the availability of resources that support key applications. “Our startup and SMB clients in the financial services, education, healthcare, and non-profit industries are already using these capabilities to automate support, reduce response times, and improve information access, demonstrating the real-world value of our AI-based solutions.” AWS Chatbot, which was first showcased in 2019 and made generally available in 2020, is a service that lets enterprise development and IT teams receive notifications about their AWS infrastructure resources from within a productivity or chat application such as Slack. Founded by tech visionaries John Furrier and Dave Vellante, SiliconANGLE Media has built a powerful ecosystem of industry-leading digital media brands, with a reach of 15+ million elite tech professionals.

He said the tool should help teams that are usually engaged with Slack to respond to incidents faster.

Over 80 percent of customers look at a partner’s competencies before deciding who to work with. In good AWS fashion, it takes a bit of work to get everything set up for the AWS chatbot to work. You have got to take a look at our entire generative AI strategy to really be able to articulate the differentiation. Asking the question, “Are you a sentient being?” produces the answer, “Sorry, I can’t answer that question. Please ask me a different question about AWS.” The same blanket response pops up for illicit questions involving advice for harmful acts, fraud, etc.

• The lower-cost tier gives users a chatbot that aims to solve problems and find insights from company data.
• SiliconANGLE Media is a recognized leader in digital media innovation serving innovative audiences and brands, bringing together cutting-edge technology, influential content, strategic insights and real-time audience engagement.
• That’s when tech developers started pushing agents, which are essentially more capable and dynamic chatbots, to enterprise customers.
• I think that is something that we don’t talk about enough as an industry.

Vivix Vidros Planos Transforms Glass Manufacturing with Mendix Low-code and Amazon Bedrock

It isn’t exactly clear to what degree individual workers are currently using agents on a day-to-day basis, but their employers do seem to be eagerly onboarding the technology, driven by a wide-scale pressure not to be left behind in this latest technological wave. AWS Chatbot simply redirects existing SNS topic notifications to Slack channels or Chime chat rooms. Admins will be able to add these SNS tips to the chat client from the AWS Chatbot console.

The company’s new, proprietary theCUBE AI Video cloud is breaking ground in audience interaction, leveraging theCUBEai.com neural network to help technology companies make data-driven decisions and stay at the forefront of industry conversations. It’s hard to imagine DevOps teams that don’t use Slack or similar tools, so it’s actually a bit of a surprise that AWS, which has long offered all of the tools to build chatbots, didn’t launch a similar service before. So not only do we have integrations with all of these partners in the application layer and at the model layer with Bedrock, we also are doing that in a way that has the highest price-to-performance ratio in the industry today. This is all tied to our goal of making sure that our customers are able to access the right outcomes for the lowest price in the market.

AWS unveils an AI chatbot for enterprises – here’s how to try it out for free

So making sure that our partners are developing the capabilities, developing the competencies, and thinking through customer impact. I would say partners have to move faster than they ever have before to meet the customers’ expectations. So responsible AI, making sure that we’ve got security built in, role-based access control so that individuals who shouldn’t have access to certain data are not getting insights through the application layer from that data. Vivix Vidros Planos partnered with AWS and Mendix to digitize manufacturing and deploy generative AI. The Virtual Engineer chatbot accelerates knowledge sharing, driving productivity and sustaining Vivix’s position as a modern, sustainable glass industry leader.

• Long commands that users tend to forget can be stored by creating aliases within the AWS Chatbot channel in Teams and other applications, the company said.
• “This includes not just agents themselves, but also the critical components that make agents truly valuable.”

Those same DevOps teams are also likely relying on AWS to maintain their apps. The integration of AWS’ EventBridge service with SNS allows the chatbot to send event-related information to the supported chat applications. For example, Datadog customers will be able to instrument Datadog with ease, maximize observability coverage, and receive guidance on incident troubleshooting and mitigate security risks for their cloud applications. We have a lot of free resources, training resources and educational information out there for our partners and for our customers. I’d encourage them to go to Skill Builder and look at the generative AI content that’s there so they can become familiar with it. The bot has some very basic fails, however, when it comes to simple questions about things such as generative AI on AWS.

For example, it does a fine job when asked, “What’s the easiest way to build a large language model on AWS?” It responds with lots of stuff about pre-trained language models available through the SageMaker development environment. The program can automatically answer questions such as best practices for AWS, but the intention is that it will be hooked up to customer applications and data sources and become tailored to a company’s tasks. “With this launch, AWS Marketplace becomes a single destination where customers can find everything needed for successful AI agent implementations,” Matt Yanchyshyn, vice president of AWS Marketplace and Partner Services, wrote in a blog post. “This includes not just agents themselves, but also the critical components that make agents truly valuable.” “AWS Chatbot is a unique and powerful communication tool that has the potential to change the way that you monitor and maintain your cloud environments,” AWS Chief Evangelist Jeff Barr said in a blog post.

Amplify your reach, spark real connections, and lead the innovation charge. The generative AI model is currently available in a preview form in certain US markets and has two subscription tiers, which are the Business option at $20 a month or the Builder option at $25 a month. “Your teams will be able to analyze and respond to events faster by retrieving diagnostic information on command in a centralized place,” it says. For now, the AWS Chatbot service is free but, of course, that may change in future once it’s released generally. AWS promises it will be available in the “near future” to “retrieve diagnostic information your AWS resources for many AWS services”.
