Amazon Prepares to Launch AI Chatbot 'Metis' to Compete with ChatGPT

The new service aims to provide real-time information and automate tasks using advanced AI techniques.

Metis is powered by Amazon's internal AI model, Olympus, which is more advanced than its current public models.
The chatbot will use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to offer up-to-date responses and perform complex tasks.
Amazon plans to unveil Metis in September, coinciding with a major Alexa event, though the timeline may change.
CEO Andy Jassy is directly involved in the project, with nearly every division of Amazon working on AI initiatives.
Amazon aims to leverage its cloud computing capabilities to drive significant revenue growth through AI.
