Amazon Developing Advanced AI Chatbot 'Metis' to Compete with ChatGPT

Utilizing retrieval-augmented generation, Metis aims to deliver more accurate and versatile responses, including real-time data access.

Metis, powered by Amazon's new Olympus AI model, is designed to perform text and image generation tasks.
The chatbot will be accessible through a web browser and can automate complex tasks, akin to a smart home assistant.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and key Alexa team members are heavily involved in Metis' development.
The project aims to launch in September, although internal opinions vary on its potential success.
Amazon's previous AI ventures, like Titan, have struggled, making Metis a crucial project for the company's AI ambitions.
