Multinational tech company Amazon is working on a new artificial intelligence chatbot. In the race to bring AI with unique features, Amazon is considering to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. According to reports, this upcoming AI will be called Metis. Metis is said to be powered by an internal Amazon AI model called Olympus, which is a more powerful model than Amazon’s currently available Titan AI model.

Reports published by business InsiderMetis is being built to deliver text and image-based answers in a conversational way, it says. It will also have the power to share links to source responses, suggest follow-up questions, and generate images. Metis uses retrieval-enhanced generation to provide up-to-date information and automate tasks.

If this happens, with this move, Amazon will join the growing list of tech companies that are offering new AI assistants, including Microsoft, Google, Apple and many others. Amazon has been seen lagging behind in the AI ​​race before. And this claim was surprisingly made by Amazon founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos last month. It was reported that Bezos was emailing Amazon executives asking why more AI firms were not using its cloud services.

Metis as an AI Agent

A unique feature of AI is that it is also mentioned as an AI agent. According to reports, Metis is expected to act as an AI agent that will work autonomously to extract information by analyzing data, making decisions and performing several actions based on programmed algorithms and learned patterns.

business Insider It is also stated that Metis and the notable Alexa use somewhat similar infrastructure.

The aim of bringing Metis to the market is to generate more up-to-date responses and a more conversational AI assistant experience. The chatbot is expected to have the ability to provide stock prices in real-time and act as an AI agent, automating and performing complex tasks based on existing data.

metis launch date

While the company hasn’t announced anything yet, Amazon AI is expected to arrive in a few months. The launch date is reportedly set for September. It is speculated that Amazon will launch the Matrice during the major Alexa event. However, this could change as well.

Over the past year, Amazon has been trying to accelerate generative AI across Amazon Web Services and across its business to counter the perception that it is lagging behind in the AI ​​technology race. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, ​​who is reportedly directly involved with “Metis,” has previously described a three-pronged AI strategy of enabling customers to create new AI foundation models, helping them use existing foundation models, and building AI applications.
