Today, generative artificial intelligence (AI) is at the core of many of the decisions and technologies businesses across the globe are implementing. The linchpin to ensuring that generative AI is effective depends on the foundation models (FMs) storing the data. To make sure that those FMs are pulling the correct data, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has developed a solution through Amazon Bedrock to generate SQL to answer user questions about the data. The solution was developed to support the Federal Institute of São Paulo (IFSP) and has optimized their decision-making.
