Together with BMW Group, we at AWS developed a groundbreaking agentic search solution that transforms how users interact with massive datasets. By combining semantic search, SQL querying, and exhaustive analysis within an AI agent framework, the solution enables BMW employees across all skill levels to extract actionable insights from petabytes of data using natural language. ➡ Read the full case study on the AWS Industries blog The Challenge BMW Group’s Cloud Data Hub stores 20 petabytes of data with an average daily ingestion of 110 TB. Traditional data analysis requires users to search through hundreds of data assets, write complex SQL queries, and interpret raw results – a significant barrier for non-technical users, especially with terminology variations across German and English descriptions. ...

What a great day at AWS Summit in Zurich! ⛰️ Together with Davide Gallitelli, I presented “AI in Action: From POC to Business Value” – a deep dive into transforming Generative AI initiatives from concepts to production-ready solutions that create business value. We explored: Key steps for successful Agentic AI implementations in practice Critical building blocks for bringing your agents into production Demo featuring the power of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore From POC to Production: The AgentCore Approach One of the key challenges organizations face is moving AI projects from proof-of-concept to production. During our presentation, we demonstrated a practical implementation using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore – a comprehensive framework for building, deploying, and managing AI agents at scale. ...

Our team was selected to participate in the “Solve for Healthcare & Life Sciences with Gemma” hackathon, hosted by Google Paris! I had the pleasure of teaming up with my former ETH Zürich lab-mate Patrick Langer, along with Nour Ben Rejeb and Nathan Denier. We were honored to receive the Impact Award (2nd place) among 126 participants across 26 teams, a great recognition of how our research at ETH Zürich and Stanford University translates into real-world impact. ...

Generative AI is revolutionizing the way we work, enabling new levels of efficiency and creativity. At AWS, we understand that many organizations rely on Microsoft Office applications like Word, Excel, and Outlook. That’s why we’ve developed a solution that seamlessly integrates AWS generative AI capabilities, powered by Amazon Bedrock, into these familiar tools. This integration allows employees to leverage large language models (LLMs) directly within their daily workflows, enhancing productivity and insights. ...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of data analytics, leveraging generative AI can significantly enhance efficiency and insights derived from data. The No-Code Generative AI Data Analytics Solution on AWS 🧠📊 offers a compelling approach to integrating AI-driven analytics without requiring extensive coding knowledge. This solution empowers users to transform their data analysis workflows by enabling natural language prompts to generate and execute code automatically. Your browser does not support the video tag. At the core of this solution is the intelligent code interpreter 🤖, which utilizes Amazon Nova foundation models on Amazon Bedrock for sophisticated reasoning capabilities. The entire setup is securely hosted within an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) 🔒, ensuring enterprise-grade security. The architecture is built using AWS serverless components like Lambda ⚡, API Gateway 🌐, and DynamoDB 🗄️, allowing for scalable and efficient handling of requests. The user interface, based on Streamlit, is deployed on Amazon ECS Fargate 🚢, providing an intuitive way for users to interact with the solution. ...

To help fellow Generative AI enthusiasts quickly leverage cutting-edge open-source models, I’ve created a simple CLI tool that bridges Hugging Face and Amazon Bedrock. The Hugging Face Bedrock Importer is a command-line tool that simplifies the process of downloading Hugging Face models and deploying them to Amazon Bedrock. This tool automates the workflow of model download, Amazon S3 upload, and Bedrock Custom Model Import, making it easier for developers to leverage Hugging Face language models in their AWS environment. ...
