Amazon Connect Customer now uses generative AI to automatically evaluate self-service interactions

Amazon Connect Customer now enables managers to use generative AI to automatically evaluate self-service interactions, and get aggregated insights to help improve customer experience. Managers can define custom evaluation criteria in natural language within evaluation forms — such as “Were all of the customer issues resolved by the AI agent?” — which generative AI uses to help assess the quality of the self-service interaction. Connect provides detailed reasoning for the evaluation along with relevant reference points from the conversation transcript. Managers can review these insights in aggregate and on individual contacts, alongside self-service interaction recordings and transcripts, to identify opportunities to improve AI agent performance.
This feature is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Europe (Frankfurt).

Amazon EC2 R8i and R8i-flex instances are now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R8i and R8i-flex instances are available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region. These instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors, available only on AWS, delivering the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud. The R8i and R8i-flex instances offer up to 15% better price-performance, and 2.5x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation Intel-based instances. They deliver 20% higher performance than R7i instances, with even higher gains for specific workloads. They are up to 30% faster for PostgreSQL databases, up to 60% faster for NGINX web applications, and up to 40% faster for AI deep learning recommendation models compared to R7i. R8i-flex, our first memory-optimized Flex instances, are the easiest way to get price performance benefits for a majority of memory-intensive workloads. They offer the most common sizes, from large to 16xlarge, and are a great first choice for applications that don’t fully utilize all compute resources. R8i instances are a great choice for all memory-intensive workloads, especially for workloads that need the largest instance sizes or continuous high CPU usage. R8i instances offer 13 sizes including 2 bare metal sizes and the new 96xlarge size for the largest applications. R8i instances are SAP-certified and deliver 142,100 aSAPS, delivering exceptional performance for mission-critical SAP workloads. To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console. For more information about the R8i and R8i-flex instances visit the AWS News blog.
