Empowering Employees to Work Strategically Using Amazon Bedrock with BDM

Big Data Mining (BDM), a Brazilian company, built LOUIS, a bespoke generative AI model on Amazon Bedrock combining computer vision and natural language processing to process complex, unstructured corporate documents (contracts, powers of attorney) across more than 100 models and 15 industries. A large Brazilian financial institution deployed LOUIS to replace a team of 150 professionals manually evaluating over 40,000 unstructured processes per month for opening legal-entity accounts and contracting credit, standardizing interpretation criteria and reducing operational effort by more than 40%, an estimated $4.2 million in cost savings over five years. In insurance, LOUIS reduced life insurance claim processing from up to six months to just a few minutes by capturing required data in about 60 seconds. BDM reports documents are processed 85% faster than manual interpretation with 98% accuracy, and saved roughly 50% on development costs by building on Amazon Bedrock rather than writing the application from scratch.

Discover Financial Services Builds a Generative AI Solution on AWS for Faster Decision-Making and Time to Market

Discover Financial Services, a digital banking and payment services company, built an analytics workbench and unified data science workbench on Amazon EC2 (P3 and P4 GPU instances) so its data scientists could run machine learning and generative AI workloads, train large language models with sample sizes requiring up to 6 TB of memory, and deliver high-performance computing in the cloud. Model artifacts are stored in Amazon S3 and shared across engineering teams via Amazon EFS. Discover used the platform for use cases including sentiment analysis of customer service calls and a 'do not contact' model that classifies customers in near real time for customer care agents. Using feature embedding, the team reduced time to market from hours to minutes; parallel model training cut processing of 30 million records from days to hours, and sentiment analysis on a 57,000-record dataset dropped from hours to minutes. Discover reports 35% reduction in engineering and platform costs.

GoGuardian: Safer schools, empowered teachers, thriving students

GoGuardian, which powers safe, focused learning for half of U.S. K-12 students, migrated its ML infrastructure to Databricks to manage billions of daily inferences for web filtering, classroom management and harm prevention while maintaining a PII-free, COPPA/FERPA-compliant data environment. Using Delta Lake, Lakeflow, Unity Catalog, MLflow and Databricks Model Serving, GoGuardian achieved up to 50% reduction in machine learning operational costs, 90% operational cost savings with its Delphi website classification model, and a 62% reduction in inappropriate device use among students. AI-driven prioritization also cut the volume of records requiring human review for high-risk content by over 95%, from 1 million to 35,000-45,000.

Siemens Electronics Factory Erlangen Reduces Machine Learning Deployment Time by 80% with AWS and Siemens Industrial AI on Industrial Edge

Siemens Electronics Factory Erlangen, which manufactures PCBs and controllers such as SINAMICS converters and SINUMERIK CNC controllers, used computer vision models to spot anomalies in PCB assembly, but training and retraining ML models on premises was time-intensive and constrained by GPU bottlenecks. The factory adopted AWS services together with Siemens Industrial Edge and Siemens Industrial AI, sending shopfloor images via Edge applications to Amazon S3 before training via Amazon SageMaker or AWS Lambda; training results and edge prediction results are monitored through AI Model Monitor, with AI Model Manager providing central management of models on the shopfloor. This reduced time spent on model training and retraining by 80 percent (from about 30 minutes to roughly 5 minutes for retraining and deployment), cut costs by more than 90 percent compared to on-premises data storage systems, and reduced the false call rate by over 50 percent, while continuously preventing around 4 percent of PCB assembly errors compared to around 60 percent at peaks in the past.

Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office Makes Unbiased Charging Decisions with ScaleCapacity Generative AI Solution on AWS

The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office worked with AWS Partner ScaleCapacity to build a Race-Blind Charging solution to comply with California's AB 2778 mandate. The solution uses Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Textract to automatically redact race, ethnicity and other identifying details from police reports and case documents before charging decisions are made, with Amazon S3, DynamoDB, Cognito and SES supporting document storage, metadata and user access. The office processes around 17,000 cases annually, achieved compliance in six months, and can test and deploy new redaction rule changes in under a week.

Phagos uses generative AI on AWS to match bacteriophages to bacterial infections

Phagos, a Paris-based biotech startup, uses generative AI models built with Amazon SageMaker AI to match bacteriophages to target bacteria for phage therapy, replacing a manual trial-and-error process. The AI models cut wet-lab testing needs by 50% and reduced phage-candidate screening time by 99.5%, from 29 hours to 10 minutes per bacteria. Phagos has treated more than half a million animals in France and can now develop a new treatment in two months versus 10+ years for traditional antibiotic development.

Forcura Expedites Patient Care Using Generative AI on Amazon Bedrock

Forcura, a HITRUST-certified healthcare workflow management company serving over 900 healthcare providers representing about 1 million patients, added a generative-AI referral summary feature to its Referral Management product. Built on Amazon Bedrock using Anthropic's Claude 3 model family, the feature pulls key information such as patient demographics, clinical history and requested services into a concise summary. Forcura piloted the feature with three clients in April 2024 and reached general release within 90 days of the pilot start.
