Introducing Amazon Q, a generative AI assistant

By connecting to the code, data, enterprise systems, and information repositories of your organization, Amazon Q enables you to engage in dialogues, solve issues, produce content, acquire insights, and take action.

Based on your company’s current identities, positions, and permissions, Amazon Q can customize its interactions for every single user.

Go to Amazon Q in the console, pick Applications from the left menu, and then click Create application to customize Amazon Q for your company.

Give your application a name, and select or create an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service role that already exists that Amazon Q is permitted to take on. Select Create after that.

During a chat, a retriever retrieves data in real time from the index. You have two options: use a current Amazon Kendra retriever or use the native Amazon Q retriever. The data sources that are supported by Amazon Q can be accessed by the native retriever.

Assemble data sources. Connectors for widely used data sources and enterprise systems are pre-installed on Amazon Q.

Once the retriever displays the correct number of documents and the data source sync has finished successfully, you can test the online experience and initiate a chat.

Keep in mind that depending on the volume and size of data to index, the data source sync may take a few minutes to several hours
