Glad to share that a research paper I coauthored @awscloud has been accepted to @ACM_CHIIR. Excellent collaboration between #AppliedScience & #UserResearch. You can learn more about our work on the Amazon Science website - lnkd.in/gpVpmGvs @AmazonScience

Amazon Q is here. If you’re building on AWS, our goal is to change how you build and interact with AWS. From helping you with getting information in the console to developing new features in the IDE to Java migrations, Q is here for you. aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amaz…

Amazon Q is now available - a generative AI-powered assistant that helps you with many software development tasks. Congratulations teams! aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amaz…

If you’re at re:Invent come and find me + show me a PartyRock app you’ve made to get a special gift from me! (Until I run out!) #PartyRockPlayground @AWSEvents #reinvent #AWSreInvent

Earlier this year, some #AWS developers created an internal tool for Amazonians to experiment with Foundation Models from Amazon Bedrock, and it quickly became a word-of-mouth hit across AWS. Because the interface only required a user to add in a description of the app they wanted to build in a prompt box, the tool could be used by teammates across a wide spectrum of roles and technical expertise. Some built apps for productivity, while others made ones for amusement, or that tapped into personal passions. It was cool to see builders get inspired by using generative AI in a more hands on way, and by sharing their apps with each other, they were actually sharing key generative AI techniques in action. Based on the popularity and feedback, we launched this simple to use but powerful app to the world for free, naming it PartyRock (in reference to it being a fun and collaborative way to experience Amazon Bedrock). It is built on the belief that everyone should have access to a fun and easy tool to help get started with generative AI. Since launching it last week, tens of thousands of apps have been built and shared, and the creativity has been really cool to see (including apps to organize your re:Invent schedule, plan a Formula 1 trip, and find the best coffee in Vegas). I encourage you to give it a try and see what you can build! PartyRock: partyrock.aws

Holy shit @awscloud released PartyRock publicly. Finally I can talk about one of the most magical things I’ve seen both “from AWS” and “in the GenAI space.” More to come.

#partyrockplayground gets me excited. It's fun, it makes you think, and it helps you learn. More people should get familiar with using AI to build apps. PartyRock does just that. partyrock.aws

‘Starting small requires designing with people & communities rather than for them too. Innovation doesn’t spring from heads as Athena from the forehead of Zeus; it's uncovered through careful and considered use of tools, mindsets / methods which we share with teams & communities.

Great article from @ideo & Derek Robson on how it is crucial we get to know our users at a deeply human level to craft truly meaningful & thoughtful AI led experiences 🫂🌱🤌 ideo.com/journal/the-il…

‘Understanding people requires research at depth. For us, that often means ethnography - you don’t need thousands or hundreds or even 50 people in the room to do it. What you need is a small sample of people with a diversity of lived experiences whom you get to know very well.’

‘The best organizations are able to stretch how they think about their customers. The most successful businesses are able to understand and reflect back to people things that they don’t even know about themselves.’

Some of my favorites from above - ‘People are not reducible to their preferences. People contain multitudes. People change their minds, regularly and often. They respond to things that feel authentic and responsive to their experiences and identity.’

Spoke with @RiskReversal a few weeks ago on the state of investing... We talked about how most of the money made off the invention of refrigeration wasn't by the makers, but cos like Coca-Cola that used them... if AI/LLMs are the refrigeration, who will be the next Coca-Cola? 👇🏾

@j__spriggs @Replit Congratulations @j__spriggs ✨super cool!

@nirjasshah 😂🫣💯

@Anmol9410 User opening up with their deeply classified personal info for you to help you implement a button on an app >> sO wHo are YoU WeArinG ToNiGht??🤡

Hot take: ux researchers could become great celebrity interviewers

I love how you don’t just need to be empathetic enough to conduct research, but research gives that back to you! Research makes you more empathetic. You get to learn more about other people’s POV, their problems and honestly, it’s just such a humbling experience.

@goodfellow_ian @AnshumiDesai can you help? Thanks ✨

My talk tonight on Human-Centered AI to the ⁦@SymSysSociety⁩ students. Thanks Ecy for the sketch notes h/t ⁦@cwodtke⁩. The Stanford SymSys major rocks!

@AmazonScience @awscloud @ACM_CHIIR Thank you :)

@Anmol9410 @awscloud @ACM_CHIIR Congrats on your @ACM_CHIIR paper acceptance!
