AWS Startups’ Post

I'm thrilled and honored to be featured on AWS Startups Tuesday Tips (the first ever). When asked about my favorite AWS service or feature tip, the first thing that came to mind was Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock. Over the past few months, I've been working closely with customers in the startup ecosystem, and they've found Knowledge Bases incredibly useful and easy for securely connecting foundation models (FMs) in Amazon Bedrock to their company data for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications. Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock has become my personal favorite as well. It simplifies the process of integrating large language models with external knowledge sources, enabling the creation of powerful RAG models that can retrieve relevant information from various data sources and generate accurate and contextual responses. What makes Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock stand out is its ability to maintain data privacy and access controls while allowing users to ask questions on sensitive documents. This secure and controlled environment is crucial for startups and enterprises dealing with proprietary or confidential data. https://lnkd.in/gXRGgWQm Thank You Chalaire M. for the feature. #innovation #aws #generatieveai #amazonbedrock #bedrock #genai

The resilience of the Startup Nation is not just a slogan. It comes from the fact that we rise to all challenges, and keep delivering no matter what. Today, we are happy to announce that Google has launched the Google AI startups fund. This $4m fund will offer grants to AI startups facing a short runway (up to 6 months), who have already raised from the Israel Innovation Authority's fast grant channel, with additional secured matched funding. For Google Cloud, this fund is another spoke in the wheel of our commitment to supporting startups at all stages of their journey, from early-stage startups to the largest unicorns, and to the hi-tech ecosystem overall. I am proud to be a part of Google, Google Cloud, and the Startup Nation's combined mission of resilience, growth, innovation, and success.
