Q- Amazon’s New Generative AI Chatbot
As per Amazon Web Services, Amazon Q helps agents by providing them with instantaneouas feedback and suggested actions to enhance customer satisfaction and promptly attend to customer requirements. Q uses the information supplied by the companies to create content and provide individualized interactions. Its training is based on 17 years of AWS experience. Although Amazon is the industry leader in cloud computing, surpassing competitors Google and Microsoft, it is not thought to be at the forefront of AI research that has produced advances in generative AI. AWS solutions are recommended for apps that run for a few seconds as opposed to minutes or hours, or for apps that access storage very infrequently, which claims that Q can comprehend the subtleties of app workloads on AWS.
