Workshop
Workshop registrations are now closed
LLMs have shown great success in recent years opening new opportunities and use cases to a large pool of applications. Amazon Bedrock is a new generative AI service that enables rapid development of generative AI applications without managing servers.
Join this workshop for a hands-on experience leveraging foundation models through Amazon Bedrock to build your generative AI applications from scratch, including simple Question Answering, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and learn first-hand how Bedrock Agents can automatically logically sequence tasks using reasoning abilities.
