Developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Q is designed to assist employees with tasks like summarizing documents, managing internal support tickets, and providing policy guidance, differentiating itself from consumer-focused chatbots. It also serves as a programming assistant.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/11\/28\/technology\/amazon-ai-chatbot-q.html\">The New York Times<\/a>, the name &#8220;Q&#8221; is a play on the word \u201cquestion&#8221; and a reference to the character Q in the James Bond novels, who makes helpful tools. (And there&#8217;s apparently a little bit of Q from <em>Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> thrown in, although hopefully the new bot won&#8217;t cause mischief on that scale.)<\/p>\n<p>Amazon Q&#8217;s launch positions it against existing corporate AI tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/07\/microsoft-365s-copilot-assistant-for-businesses-comes-with-a-hefty-price-tag\/\">Microsoft&#8217;s Copilot<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/08\/googles-30-per-month-duet-ai-will-craft-awkward-emails-images-for-you\/\">Google&#8217;s Duet AI<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/08\/the-new-spreadsheet-openai-introduces-chatgpt-enterprise-for-businesses\/\">ChatGPT Enterprise<\/a>. Unlike some of its competitors, Amazon Q isn&#8217;t built on a singular AI large language model (LLM). Instead, it uses a platform called Bedrock, integrating multiple AI systems, including <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/04\/generative-ai-comes-to-amazon-web-services\/\">Amazon&#8217;s Titan<\/a> and models from <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/07\/new-chatgpt-rival-claude-2-launches-for-open-beta-testing\/\">Anthropic<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/07\/meta-launches-llama-2-an-open-source-ai-model-that-allows-commercial-applications\/\">Meta<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1987059#p3\">Read 5 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1987059&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1987059\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon unleashes Q, an AI assistant for the workplace<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge \/ The Amazon Q logo.
