Amazon Kendra
Amazon Kendra is an intelligent search service powered by machine learning (ML). Kendra reimagines enterprise search for your websites and applications so your employees and customers can easily find the content they’re looking for, even when it’s scattered across multiple locations and content repositories within your organization.
Using Amazon Kendra, you can stop searching through troves of unstructured data and discover the right answers to your questions when you need them. Amazon Kendra is a fully managed service, so there are no servers to provision and no ML models to build, train, or deploy.
Get better answers upfront using natural language
Use natural language questions in addition to simple keywords to get the answers you’re looking for. Amazon Kendra will return an exact answer from within a document, whether it’s a text snippet, FAQ, or PDF document. Instead of sifting through long lists of documents to find specific answers, Amazon Kendra also provides suggested answers up front.

Accelerate research and development
Scientists and developers leading new research and innovation need access to information from prior work that’s buried within their corporate data stores. With faster, more accurate search, they spend less time searching and more time innovating.
Minimize regulatory and compliance risks
Use ML to quickly identify and interpret regulatory policies published across hundreds of diverse websites so you can improve policy enforcement and compliance processes.
Improve customer interactions
Whether it’s through Q&A chatbots, agent-assist, or customer web search, Amazon Kendra better understands what your customers are asking and provides more-relevant answers and intuitive experiences.
Increase employee productivity

With this centralized view, users can quickly search and access the most relevant information across any knowledge source to make more informed decisions.
Customers

Accelerating material science research
“When our material scientists lead new research, they need access to information from prior relevant research—information that’s buried in the many patents we hold in our huge knowledge base… Kendra lets our scientists find the information they need by handling natural language queries quickly and accurately.”

Building a secure and scalable agent-assist solution
“We chose Amazon Kendra to build a secure and scalable agent-assist solution. This helped call center agents, and the customers they serve, quickly uncover the information they need. Since implementing Contact Center Intelligence (CCI) and Amazon Kendra, early results show an average reduction in call times of about 9-15 seconds, which saves over 4k hours on over 2.2 million calls per calendar year.”

Faster access to information in our knowledge base
"Amazon Kendra finds the answer to questions like ‘What is the length of the pipeline at Pluto?’ quickly and accurately. This step-change in cognitive capability will enable even better, faster decision-making to improve our operations and the working lives of our people.”
