PRODUCT OVERVIEW
What is Amazon Q Business?
Amazon Q Business is an AI assistant for work from AWS that helps employees get answers and take action using their organization's data. It indexes content across disparate systems and provides permission-aware, personalized responses in natural language, drawing on employee profile data from the identity provider when permissions allow. Users can generate summaries, recommendations, and content, take actions in third-party applications, and build lightweight AI apps called Amazon Q Apps by describing requirements in natural language; these apps can be shared privately or published in a central app library. Access is available through web browsers and extensions for applications such as Slack, Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Teams. Pricing uses per-user subscriptions (Lite and Pro) plus index capacity, and an AWS account is required.
