Big Takeaway: Amazon launched Q, a new privacy-focused AI chatbot for business customers to answer cloud-related queries.
Priced at $20 per user per year, Q suggests AWS solutions based on a company's apps and data.
It's trained on 17 years of AWS knowledge to propose relevant offerings to questions. It integrates with Amazon's code generator to test, document, and upgrade software.
Q can analyze product pain points and ways to address them based on customer data. It goes beyond queries to generate content like emails, blogs, and press releases.
Is it a coincidence Amazon's AI is named Q when OpenAI has a rumored AI model named Q*?

Big Takeaway: OpenAI's new board is unlikely to offer seats to major outside investors like Microsoft and Thrive Capital, prioritizing AI safety over profits.
The new board consists of Larry Summers, Bret Taylor, and Adam D'Angelo, expected to expand to nine members total.
OpenAI saw a management shakeup earlier, with CEO Sam Altman initially ousted and then reinstated within days alongside two board members' exits.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella previously said he wanted changes to OpenAI's governance structure and hinted at wanting a board seat at OpenAI.
