In this post, we walk through how Huntington built a scalable AWS solution to detect and redact Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) data from over 400 million documents, reducing processing time from years to just a few months while achieving 95%+ redaction accuracy.
In this post, you will learn how to build a voice agent that handles appointment reminder conversations using Amazon Nova 2 Sonic and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The agent authenticates patients by voice, manages appointments (confirm, cancel, or reschedule), collects pre-visit health information, and escalates to human staff when needed. You handle routine calls at scale, which can help reduce no-show rates. This sample focuses on the agentic side of the problem: voice conversation and tool orche
In this post, you will learn how to build an end-to-end integration between Snowflake semantic views and Amazon Quick. The sample data is user review data for a media company. You start by loading movie review data from Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) into Snowflake, define a semantic view in SQL to add business meaning, explore it with natural-language queries through Cortex Analyst, and then generate an Amazon Quick dataset and dashboard. The dataset can be created manually or with a
This is the second follow-up to June 5's release post. It covers the platform APIs that moved into the framework core this release. There are two headline pieces (AI/LLM and the modern OAuth/OIDC stack) and two smaller pieces (WiFi/connectivity and share-sheet result callbacks). This continues the direction the previous release set when we moved NFC, biometrics, and cryptography into the framework core. The full background on that earlier set is in NFC, Crypto, Biometrics, And A New Build Cloud
