Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling new capabilities that are transforming business experiences and operations. Two key innovations developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) driving this transformation are Amazon Q and generative business intelligence (BI).

Amazon Q is the generative AI–powered assistant for business. It allows users to search, chat, curate, and generate content from a company’s data repositories spread over multiple sources including cloud, on-premises, software-as-a-service (SaaS), and then take actions through prompts. This makes it easier for non-technical users to access insights from data.

Generative BI takes this a step further by providing auto-generation of visualizations, summary of dashboards, and creation of well-formatted stories based on curated structured data. These capabilities allow businesses to easily gain insights from their data to improve decision making and processes.

By integrating Amazon Q and generative BI capabilities into their applications, companies can stay competitive and build innovative solutions tailored to their industries. AWS provides tools and platforms to help partners implement these technologies. By combining AWS infrastructure with their industry knowledge, partners can rapidly develop and deploy solutions that transform business operations.

Three AWS Partners that have pioneered generative BI and Amazon Q use cases are ZS Associates, Tiger Analytics, and Compass UOL:

  • ZS’s digital and connected analytics platform is called ZAIDYN and it’s tailored for life sciences. The platform places a significant emphasis on self-serve analytics while using cutting-edge generative BI capabilities and large language model (LLM) technologies offered by Amazon Q.
  • Tiger Analytics uses Amazon Q’s natural language interface and generative BI capabilities in Amazon QuickSight to enable powerful emerging fraud pattern discovery for its customers.
  • Compass UOL’s AI Cockpit simplifies and automates the software development lifecycle (SDLC) process by leveraging Amazon Q Developer.

In this post, you’ll gain insights on resources, tools, and platforms they can leverage for building solutions powered by Amazon Q and generative BI.

It offers full-stack AI and analytics services, and aims to push the boundaries of what AI and analytics can do to help enterprises move forward decisively.

Financial institutions are experiencing rising credit card fraud as cybercriminals employ sophisticated methods to steal cardholder information and make unauthorized purchases. This results in significant losses, customer dissatisfaction, and inefficient operations for banks.

Traditional rule-based fraud detection systems that solely depend on structured data often struggle due to evolving fraud techniques and data silos. A generative AI approach leveraging comprehensive data across channels is needed to accurately identify complex fraud patterns, prevent financial losses, protect customers, ensure compliance, and provide insights to stay ahead of adaptive fraudsters.

Amazon Q’s natural language interface and generative BI capabilities in Amazon QuickSight enable powerful emerging fraud pattern discovery. Analysts in the bank can leverage Amazon Q’s chatbot feature to use financial data and customer conversation history to uncover suspicious account activity. Generative BI can also create visualizations and weave together insightful narratives explaining recent trends. This helps decision makers grasp emerging situations to consume in a creative way.

Generative BI summarization and storytelling of evolving patterns helps financial institutions proactively detect emerging fraud and protect customers by anticipating new fraud techniques.
