In addition to Amazon Q, the company also announced plans to invest up to $4 billion in Anthropic, an AI start-up that competes with OpenAI, and to develop advanced computing chips. Amazon Q is not built on a specific AI model but uses an Amazon platform called Bedrock, which connects several AI systems together. The service starts at $20 per user each month, undercutting Microsoft and Google who charge $30 a month for their enterprise chatbots.
Key takeaways:
- Amazon has announced its own artificial intelligence assistant, Amazon Q, developed by its cloud computing division and focused on workplaces.
- Amazon Q aims to help employees with daily tasks and will compete with other corporate chatbots like Copilot, Google’s Duet AI and ChatGPT Enterprise.
- Amazon Q is built to be more secure and private than a consumer chatbot, with the ability to emulate the same security permissions that business customers have already set up for their users.
- Pricing for Amazon Q starts at $20 per user each month, which is cheaper than Microsoft and Google's enterprise chatbots that charge $30 a month per user.
