Amazon announces the availability of its Enterprise AI Assistant, Amazon Q

Amazon has announced the general availability of Amazon Q for businesses and developers. Amazon Web Services (AWS) enterprise customers can harness the powers of an AI-powered assistant with Amazon Q. It is designed as an assistant for software developers and it can help them by “performing tedious and repetitive tasks” such as coding, testing, upgrading applications, troubleshooting, security scanning and fixes as well as optimising AWS resources.

In the midst of the AI boom, the e-commerce giant made this move to compete with its big tech giants. Furthermore, a free course was also released showcasing the capabilities of the AI assistant and how to use it.

The e-commerce giant first announced its business-focused chatbot in November 2023, promising both generative and analytical assistance based on the business' in-house data. Later, Amazon made the AI tool available to a limited number of users.

The company has now made it generally available and has added some new features to it. Notably, enterprises will now get two separate chatbots — Amazon Q Developer and Amazon Q Business — for separate sets of tasks.

Amazon's cloud computing platform, AWS announced that both Amazon Q Developer and Business chatbots are now available for enterprises. This will be available to those customers who use AWS services. The AI bot trains and learns from the business' data and workflows and can help with more coding-related and business analytics-related tasks.
