On Tuesday, Amazon revealed the expansion of the use of Amazon Q, its most recent AI-powered business assistant. Using data from the company’s internal systems, the e-commerce behemoth initially revealed its business-focused chatbot in November 2023, promising generative and analytical support. Eventually, a restricted group of users could access the AI tool from Amazon. It’s now widely accessible and has some additional features thanks to the company. Significantly, businesses will now receive Amazon Q Developer and Amazon Q Business, two distinct chatbots for different sets of tasks.
The cloud computing platform Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced in a newsroom post that businesses can now use the Business and Q Developer chatbots from Amazon. Customers who utilize AWS services will have access to this. The AI bot can assist with additional coding and business analytics tasks as it is trained and educated by the company’s data and workflows.
Software developers can benefit from the assistance of the Amazon Q Developer, which is intended to carry out “difficult and repetitive tasks” like coding, testing, upgrading applications, troubleshooting, security scanning and fixes, and optimizing AWS resources. According to the company, experts can use the time they save to create and deliver innovative end user experiences more quickly.
The tech giant is making its Amazon Q Business available for analytical support. This tool can receive and process prompts and queries in natural language. It can provide data-driven analysis, write reports, generate summaries and content, and answer questions based on the information from the company’s database that is housed on AWS servers. Additionally, Amazon QuickSight—AWS’s cloud-based, integrated business intelligence solution—will now include Amazon Q.
In addition to this, not all users have access to Amazon’s other feature yet. Apps with AI capabilities can be created by staff members using the company’s data and a tool called Amazon Q Apps. By giving a brief description of the app and the tasks it should accomplish, even employees without any prior coding experience can create apps using it. The app can then be created from start to finish by the AI chatbot. In preview mode right now is this feature.
