Enhanced Content

Definition

AWS's intelligent enterprise search service powered by machine learning. Like having a super-smart librarian who understands what you're looking for and finds the most relevant documents instantly.

Real-World Example

A law firm uses Amazon Kendra to search through millions of legal documents using natural language questions like 'What are the requirements for patent filing in California?'

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Amazon Kendra and Azure AI Search/Vertex AI Search are managed enterprise search services that index content sources and return relevant answers for natural-language queries. OCI Search with OpenSearch is a managed search engine service (OpenSearch) that can power enterprise search but typically requires more hands-on relevance tuning and application logic than Kendra’s out-of-the-box ML ranking and connectors.
