Build a governed weekly reporting workflow with Amazon Quick Desktop and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. An Amazon S3 access point exposes an approved folder to a Quick knowledge base, and a custom skill drafts cited weekly reports and Slack summaries with human review before anything is shared.

Learn how to build a customizable, smart-caching knowledge management system on AWS that captures and delivers institutional (tribal) knowledge through a voice-first AI avatar. The accelerator uses Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases for retrieval-augmented generation and deploys in hours with AWS CloudFormation.

Learn how to build a voice ordering system for restaurants that answers a phone call and takes an order end to end, with no app, no website, and no sign-in. It uses Amazon Connect for telephony, Amazon Connect Agentic Voice for real-time speech, an Amazon Connect AI agent for reasoning, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway to reach backend tools through MCP.

Metadata harmonization (standardizing labels, identifiers, and formats so datasets can work together) is still largely manual. This post shows how AI-powered metadata correction works in practice, covering two approaches, human-in-the-loop validation and autonomous agent-driven workflows, plus governance considerations for production deployment.

Give your AI agents governed, auditable access to enterprise tools without consolidating infrastructure. This post walks through a four-scope maturity model (Connect, Control, Catalog, and Harden) for building a governed tool gateway with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, advancing only when real governance pain demands it.

Input tokens are often a meaningful part of the cost of running Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) at scale. This post describes a query-aware context compression pattern on Amazon Bedrock: after retrieval, a smaller model filters retrieved chunks against the query before the primary model answers, reducing input tokens and cost while preserving answer quality.

Healthcare, retail, and life sciences teams store large volumes of operational data in Snowflake, but turning it into predictions is hard. In Part 1 of this series, you set up your AWS account and Snowflake environment for a no-code ML workflow with Amazon SageMaker Canvas, laying the foundation for building a fraud detection model without writing code.

In Part 2 of this no-code ML series, you connect Amazon SageMaker Canvas to Snowflake, prepare and join transaction data with Data Wrangler visual transformations, and train an XGBoost fraud detection model. All without writing machine learning code, laying the groundwork for interactive dashboards in Part 3.

In Part 3 of this no-code ML series, you bring fraud detection predictions to life. Import your Amazon SageMaker Canvas predictions into Amazon Quick Sight, build interactive dashboards, use generative BI to answer questions in natural language, and publish AI-generated executive summaries for stakeholders.

AI agents can take actions that do not match your organization’s policies. Policy in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore lets teams enforce controls across agents, now including time-based constraints. This post shows how Policy Authoring turns natural-language policy documents into correct Dogwood policies, with worked examples and best practices.
