Generative AI is revolutionizing businesses and unlocking new possibilities across industries. To fully harness its potential, architects require robust and scalable infrastructure and services.

This webinar explores how AWS empowers the development of impactful generative AI applications. We provide an overview of key AWS generative AI services such as Amazon CodeWhisperer, which generates code from natural language, and Amazon Bedrock. Through examples and demos, we showcase the capabilities of these services.

The session also delves into recommended architectures for leveraging managed AWS offerings to build generative AI applications. By examining real-world examples, attendees will discover how organizations are already benefiting from AWS's generative AI services, including cost reduction, automated content generation, and innovative customer experiences.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of AWS's capabilities in unlocking generative AI's potential and receive actionable insights for architecting generative AI solutions on AWS. The practical value of the demos and examples lies in their applicability within attendees' own organizations.

Getting started with GenAI for Software Companies

Generative AI is a type of AI that can create new content and ideas, including conversations, images, music, and code.

As software companies continue to drive differentiation and innovation in their products, their development teams are showing growing interest in Gen AI technologies: they can use them to perform various tasks without complex, time-consuming data labeling and training and also easily access them through APIs or interactive clients.

Join us for a conversation with Jeffrey Hammond, Head of ISV Product Transformation, where we'll discuss:

Important decisions product strategists in software companies must make when setting a Generative AI strategy
Review examples of use cases that are good starting points for experimentation
Explore resources and programs that development and data science teams can use to accelerate delivery of Gen AI enabled software products.
