Amazon expands enterprise AI play with wider availability of its Q chatbot

Amazon has been quietly rolling out its ‘Q’ chatbot, and looks to be going into wider release. From The Verge:

Amazon announced Q in November and made it available only to a small number of users. In a post, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy writes that bringing Q to more people will help solve misalignment issues for developers. 

The chatbot acts as an assistant for Amazon Web Services (AWS) users, learning from a company’s data and workflows so employees can ask questions about their business. Users can also ask Q questions about coding, HR information, or logistics, Amazon says. 

Q can be very useful in its training domain – AWS. But beyond that, it has a tendency to hallucinate.
