In March 2021, Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched the Think Big for Small Business (TBSB) Program, which provides partners with access to financial incentives and additional visibility with customers and the AWS team. Since the program launched, it has supported 1,000-plus partners from 73 countries across the globe. In this post, we explore the pivotal role that the TBSB program plays in accelerating the growth of small business partners that serve public sector customers.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing public agencies by streamlining services and providing valuable insights from large datasets. However, adding generative AI to your agency is not a simple process. SMX, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Tier Services Partner, helped one nonprofit agency build a robust architecture in the AWS Cloud that provided them the foundation for building and implementing generative AI tools. In this guest post, experts from SMX explain five best practices they used to help this agency prepare for generative AI.

In this post, we will explore the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots as a natural language alternative to the service catalog approach. We will present an Amazon Web Services (AWS) architecture pattern to deploy an AI chatbot that can understand user requests in natural language and provide interactive responses to user requests, directing them to the specific systems or services they are looking for. Chatbots simplify the content navigation and discovery process while improving the customer experience.

The US Federal Government has endless opportunity to lead the way as well as adopt best practices for how the latest technologies, including generative artificial intelligence (AI), can be leveraged to fulfill its various missions.
