At first glance, both Microsoft and AWS appear to have been incorporating LLMs into their service offerings for quite some time. I’ve always been curious about how they identify potential projects to pursue. Do competitor roadmaps leak out, or are they open secrets? Access to such information would be invaluable to smaller players and businesses trying to catch up in the LLM domain.

From my limited observations, both tools seem to share the common goal of leveraging LLMs to enhance the usage of their respective platforms. Based on their progress, Microsoft appears to be approaching Copilot as a tool integrated into the Azure ecosystem, while Q is being positioned at the forefront of AWS’s service offerings. I admire both approaches and believe they are greatly needed. With the competitive landscape becoming clearer, I’m confident that both companies will be inspired to close any gaps quickly.

It’s striking to observe how other businesses are struggling to find meaningful use cases for LLMs, often resorting to generic support agent roles or outdated knowledge management systems. In contrast, Microsoft and AWS have identified some solid use cases. I’m eager to explore what other players like Google and Meta are doing in this space. These use cases will undoubtedly serve as valuable reference points and motivation for other businesses to conceptualize their own effective applications. LLMs are indeed receiving the attention they deserve 😁
