Amazon Q Business launches ability to use connector metadata to improve search relevance

Amazon Q Business is a fully managed, generative AI–powered assistant that enhances workforce productivity by answering questions, providing summaries, generating content, and completing tasks based on customers’ enterprise data. Q Business supports over 40 connectors that customers can use to automatically sync data from selected data sources, so that they can securely search through the most up-to-date content.

When you connect Amazon Q Business to your data, your data source connector crawls relevant metadata or attributes associated with a document. Starting today, you can enable Q Business to use the connector metadata to get more relevant responses for user queries. For example, to answer a user query such as “List the documents authored by John Doe in September 2024”, when metadata search is enabled for the application, Q Business will use two connector metadata fields, _ authors and _created_at, to provide relevant responses.

The metadata search feature is available for all supported connectors in all AWS Regions where Amazon Q Business is available. To learn more, visit the documentation. To explore Amazon Q Business, visit the website.
