Productivity Boosted with Generative AI
The Challenge of Improving Productivity
- People want to do more for their customers, but "work harder, work smarter" is not always enough.
- The presenter used the analogy of being shorter than his teammates in basketball - he needed a "superpower" to help him, just like businesses need generative AI.
- Industry reports show that generative AI-supported human work can be 30% more productive on average.
The Challenges of Generative AI
- Generative AI models don't know a company's data, processes, and security/privacy requirements.
- Many generative AI offerings lack the baseline security and safety capabilities required for enterprise use.
AWS Approach to Generative AI
- AWS's approach is focused on security and meeting enterprise needs.
- The AWS generative AI stack consists of:
- Infrastructure (Amazon SageMaker, custom chips)
- Bedrock (industry-leading models in a secure, scalable setup)
- Amazon Q (a fully managed service that simplifies building generative AI applications)
Introducing Amazon Q Apps
- Q Apps is the simplest way for teams to use Q Business on a daily basis.
- Q Apps can:
- Connect to a company's data sources
- Respect existing security, roles, and permissions
- Provide admin controls to customize and control responses
- Q Apps allows users to automate repetitive tasks by creating reusable apps.
- The Q Apps common library allows sharing of purpose-built apps across the organization.
- Q Apps supports data collection features to gather inputs and generate insights.
- Governance features like verified apps and private sharing help manage app usage.
Customer Success Stories
- Arcanum AI accelerated their solution delivery by 2x using Q Apps.
- Druva reduced their RFP response time by 25% using Q Apps.
- Proofpoint's consultants saved several hours per week with Q Apps.
Volkswagen's Story
- Volkswagen Group is a large, complex organization with over 120 plants worldwide.
- Volkswagen Group of America had to map 4,000 unique job descriptions to 3,200 global job roles for a new HR system implementation.
- This manual mapping process was time-consuming, resource-intensive, and at risk of inconsistency.
- Volkswagen used Amazon Q Apps to automate the mapping process, achieving their deadline, high accuracy, and consistency.
- Volkswagen has also used Q Apps to summarize employee feedback from a culture survey, providing insights quickly.
- The key takeaway is the awareness and realization of how accessible and valuable generative AI can be, especially with tools like Q Apps.
