Building Generative AI Applications with Amazon Bedrock

Welcome to our immersive workshop on building generative AI applications with Amazon Bedrock. This hands-on workshop is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to leverage foundation models for a broad spectrum of tasks.

Generative AI Welcome

Our learning objectives are:

To build a Streamlit application capable of displaying images produced via Stable Diffusion.
To build applications that can handle a variety of text based text such as Summarization and Q&A.
To build a conversational applications such as a chatbot.
To build an AI Agent with various tools such as retrieving information from documents.

By the end of this workshop, you will have gained valuable hands-on experience in building generative AI applications with Amazon Bedrock.

This is a intermediate level workshop, so familiarly with Python and using the terminal is helpful. No AI/ML experience is necessary. This workshop is intended to be finished within 2 hours.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Subscribe to Models in the Amazon Bedrock Console

In the Amazon Bedrock console, select Model access in the left navigation pane and enable the models you would like to access. Once the model access is enabled, you can then use the API.
