Book Description

The concept of generative artificial intelligence has garnered widespread interest, with industries looking to leverage it to innovate and solve business problems. Amazon Bedrock, along with LangChain, simplifies the building and scaling of generative AI applications without needing to manage the infrastructure.

Generative AI with Amazon Bedrock takes a practical approach to enabling you to accelerate the development and integration of several generative AI use cases in a seamless manner. You’ll explore techniques such as prompt engineering, retrieval augmentation, fine-tuning generative models, and orchestrating tasks using agents. The chapters take you through real-world scenarios and use cases such as text generation and summarization, image and code generation, and the creation of virtual assistants. The latter part of the book shows you how to effectively monitor and ensure security and privacy in Amazon Bedrock.

By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a solid understanding of building and scaling generative AI apps using Amazon Bedrock, along with various architecture patterns and security best practices that will help you solve business problems and drive innovation in your organization.
