Harness the power of Generative AI – Retrieval-Augmented Generation
(RAG) for your business.
GenAI RAG Accelerator
Rapidly pilot and explore the benefits of Generative AI for your business by leveraging off-the-shelf templates and our expertise in building custom AI solutions.
Tailored for organizations with internal domain-specific knowledge bases; for example, standard operating procedures and market intelligence.
What is RAG?
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a natural language processing technique that enables generative AI models to reference an authoritative knowledge base before generating an answer.
RAG can be used to build AI assistants tailored to a specific business domain.
Amazon Q for Business enables the rapid creation, tuning and deployment of RAG solutions.
Self-Build RAG Challenges
Whilst tooling exists to enable organisations to build similar capabilities, self-build comes with challenges such as:
- Internal expertise in LLM architectures and frameworks needs to be developed.
- Appropriate hardware and software need to be purchased.
- On-going maintenance and operational capabilities need to be in place.
- Security and compliance requirements need to be met.
- Data management, versioning and re-indexing need to be managed to ensure ongoing accuracy of the assistant.
Benefits
- Boost team productivity: Q for Business streamlines workflow by summarising documents, generating drafts, conducting research, or running comparative analysis.
- Tailored to your needs: Q connects to company information, allowing it to generate content and take actions that are relevant to your business.
- Secure and compliant: Q understands and respects existing role and permission structures and boundaries, enabling customers to meet their most stringent enterprise compliance needs.
- Dramatically reduced code and infrastructure: Compared to self-build, a Q implementation has a far lower implementation and maintenance overhead, reducing TCO.
- Always improving: The LLM technology backing Q is constantly evolving, meaning that improvements can be incrementally deployed at low cost.
- Sustainability: Using centrally trained and managed models, as opposed to self-training Q improves your company’s carbon footprint.
How it works
1. Discovery
The RAG accelerator beings with an initial discovery workshop which typically takes one day. The aim of the workshop is to identify high business value use cases. Following the workshop, we determine the which of the identified use cases to pilot based on the availability of data, security and compliance requirements and end user needs. We also determine a set of objective business KPIs to measure during the pilot. In total this phase takes takes approximately one week.
2. Pilot
During the pilot phase, we configure and deploy the Q RAG application(s) along with the associated infrastructure required to securely connect to data sources and end users and to measure the identified KPIs. Deployment of the pilot typically takes two to three weeks. We then allow time for users to engage with the assistant to collect feedback.
3. Plan
Objective KPIs are measured and, along with subjective user feedback we evaluate the business impact of the pilot. Based on these measurements we determine a rollout plan to move to a full production implementation. The plan typically addresses issues such as data security, classification, versioning and role-based access.
4. Roll Out
Post pilot, we can support secure and compliant rollout of the RAG solution across the organization.
