AWS announces new upgrades to the Amazon Q Business browser extension

Today, AWS announced several upgrades to the Amazon Q Business browser extension to enhance its utility and improve user efficiency when performing browser-based tasks. The upgrades include company knowledge access, in-line PDF support, the ability to delete previous attachments from conversation context, image file attachment support, and an expanded prompt context window.

With the new upgrades, browser extension users are now able to access questions from a wide range of data sources that include not only their open web pages and attached documents, but also their company’s indexed data, PDFs they open in their browser, and multimodal file attachments such as charts and images. Users now also gain finer control over their prompt context with the ability to remove previous web pages or attachments that are no longer relevant from their conversation context.

With the expanded context window, users can incorporate larger web pages and files alongside more detailed prompts to enhance the helpfulness of responses they receive from Amazon Q. Furthermore, the extension provides a convenient link to continue their work in the Amazon Q Business web experience, where users can access powerful features like Actions and Q Apps.

These new features are available on the Amazon Q Business browser extension in all regions where Amazon Q Business is available.
