Amazon Q Apps is a new feature launched by AWS that enables users to easily create apps based on their conversations with Amazon Q Business or by describing app ideas in natural language. This feature is designed to improve productivity and streamline tasks within enterprises.
Amazon Q Business, which has officially launched, is changing the way employees interact with organizational knowledge and enterprise systems. The service provides comprehensive answers to complex questions and allows users to take actions through a seamless web-based chat experience. It integrates with over 40 popular enterprise systems such as Amazon S3, Microsoft 365, and Salesforce, ensuring secure access with existing credentials and single sign-on.
In addition to the new Amazon Q Apps feature, Amazon Q Business now offers custom plugins that allow admins to connect third-party applications for employees to use through natural language prompts. This feature enables actions like submitting time-off requests or sending meeting invitations directly through Amazon Q Business. Users can also search real-time data, such as employee time-off balances or scheduled meetings.
Both services are currently available in the US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon) AWS Regions. They are designed to enhance employee productivity and improve communication within enterprises.
