The Most Disruptive Technology Since the Internet
ChatGPT revolutionized the market when it launched in late 2022, prompting Microsoft to quickly integrate ChatGPT’s capabilities across its software ecosystem. Other tech giants, caught off guard, raced to catch up. Google launched Bard, while AWS introduced Bedrock, enabling users to customize LLMs for their specific needs.
The LLM space is evolving rapidly, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation.
AWS has been building out state-of-the-art tools for creating AI applications on its platform. To experiment with these capabilities, Tony built several Agents addressing different needs:
All of these apps share the same general structure: a UI that interacts with an AI Agent equipped with specialized tools to extend the LLM’s capabilities. Together, they demonstrate the value of combining LLMs with tailored tools to solve real-world problems.
When they first launched, many chat bots restricted users from uploading documents to minimize costs. Tony addressed this limitation by creating an externally facing LLM that allowed users to upload PDF, Word, and text files as part of their prompts. (This tool has since been deprecated).
To further democratize this capability, Tony published a blog post with detailed instructions on replicating the setup, enabling others to build similar tools for their own needs.
