AI Content Generator powered by Amazon Bedrock

AI Content Generator powered by Amazon Bedrock uses Amazon Bedrock, a generative AI service from Amazon Web Services (AWS), to supercharge your content editing process. You can use this app to automatically create new content that matches your brand, rewrite existing content for specific needs, translate, or to create SEO keywords. Amazon Bedrock provides AI models from different providers, such as Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama, or Amazon Titan.

Overview

Once installed, the AI Content Generator powered by Amazon Bedrock app can be added to sidebars across Content Types. The sidebar app allows you to use the Bedrock foundational model of your choice to use AI to generate and modify your content. You can also provide details around your brand and voice that the AI will use to create more targeted and effective content.

This app requires an AWS account and AWS credentials (access key ID and secret access key) that already allow for Amazon Bedrock access. A simple walkthrough using minimum permissions is provided as part of the installation process. Using Amazon Bedrock Content Generator will incur costs in your AWS instance. You can set up AWS cost or usage alerts to track your spend.

Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of the AI Content Generator powered by Amazon Bedrock, including in particular any AI-generated content, complies with applicable laws, their organization’s policies, and applicable AWS terms and policies to which they are subject.

Requirements

To use this app, you will need:

An AWS account with proper permissions
Amazon Bedrock access

Usage

Step 1: Configuring the app

You can configure the proper access needed for the app by following these instructions. This will walk you through enabling access to AWS Bedrock, creating the CloudFormation template to set up permissions, getting the required credentials, and setting up monitoring for costs.

Once you have the required AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key, paste them into the app configuration screen.

Step 2: Selecting a model

Once you provide a profile, you will need to select the third-party AI model that you want to use. Currently, the Anthropic Claude v2.1, Anthropic Claude Instant v1.2, and Meta Llama 2 models are available. You may need to request access to these models if you do not already have it. If you don't know which model to choose, we suggest starting with Anthropic Claude v2.1.

Step 3: Configuring your brand's profile

Providing a detailed profile about your brand can produce far more accurate and on-brand results from AI Content Generator powered by Amazon Bedrock.

Your brand's profile can be configured on the app configuration page. Providing the brand profile is not required, but is strongly recommended.

The brand profile consists of several fields:

Describe your brand or product - provide a brief overview of your brand and products. This should include who you are and what you sell/promote. For example, a sustainable t-shirt company would describe their brand name, the t-shirts they sell, characteristics of those t-shirts (for example, organic cotton), as well as their market.
What are your brand's values and attributes? - describe the core values and attributes of your brand. For example, your brand may value the environment, sustainability, and reducing environmental impact.
Describe your brand's voice and tone - describe the style, tone, and voice of content your brand generally creates. For example, a brand that focuses on a younger audience may use a witty, casual, and hip tone and voice, while a brand focused on academic topics may choose a professional, serious, and concise tone and voice.
Are there any words your brand should never use? - provide a comma separated list of words that your brand never uses. For example, a luxury brand may want to avoid words like "expensive" or "budget" in their content.
Are there any words your brand should commonly use? - provide a comma separated list of words commonly used by your brand. For example, a brand focused on sustainable clothing may frequently use the word "eco-aware."
Describe your brand's target audience - the specific audience your brand is targeting. For example, college educated 18-24 year olds in the United States
Is there anything else that AI should know about your brand or product? - any additional context around your brand not captured in other fields. For example, you may use this section to describe sub-brands or the products you sell in detail.

Step 4: Adding to content types

You can add AI Content Generator powered by Amazon Bedrock to the sidebar of any or all of your content types

Select the top option to apply to the sidebar of all content types, or individually select each content type where you want the app to show.

Press save to configure the app.

Generate content - a rich text field
Translate content - no field requirements; must have more than one locale enabled and the field must be enabled for localization

Step 5: Using the app

Each option available in AI Content Generator powered by Amazon Bedrock is shown on the sidebar.
