Amazon Kendra
Amazon Kendra is an intelligent search service powered by machine learning. Kendra reimagines enterprise search for your websites and applications so your employees and customers can easily find the content they are 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 machine learning models to build, train, or deploy.
Get better answers upfront using natural language
Use natural language questions in addition to just simple keywords to get the answers you’re looking for. Kendra will return an exact answer from within a document, whether that is a text snippet, FAQ, or PDF document. Instead of sifting through long lists of documents to find specific answers, Kendra also provides suggested answers upfront. See the difference between the search experience before and after Kendra.
