Recently, AWS announced a launch of a new invention called PartyRock, an approachable Amazon Bedrock Playground for developers to build applications without any hassle, enabling anybody to create a generative AI program – just like OpenAI’s GPT Builder. 

Providing a creative space for everyone to express themselves, the application is completely ahead regardless of the coding expertise, along with allowing the creators to build their own application according to their own preferences and needs.

Just like OpenAI is making everyone an app developer with GPT Builder, Amazon with PartyRock is effortlessly seizing the creative and user-friendly realm, providing a seamless environment for building and exploring generative AI applications in just a few simple steps. In simple terms – letting everyone build AI apps. 

From Bedrock to PartyRock

Similar to OpenAI’s GPTs, PartyRock allows users to create customised LLM based models with personal information. For example, users can give superhero names for their dog or themselves to generate an application that gives them information about certain places or even ratings on food, and you can even use it to generate game content, such as levels, characters, or storylines.

The app builder is powered by Anthropic’s Claude-2, where users can give prompts to start generating their desired app. The user interface of Amazon’s app building platform is pretty minimal and attractive. Whether generating text-based responses or connecting prompts, the platform encourages users to explore and enhance their knowledge of generative AI capabilities. It also has come up with reliable and easy-to-share options, recognising the importance of the community.

PartyRock is helping users enable an API-based interface for accessing foundation models (FMs) from Amazon and other top AI providers, such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic Cohere, Meta, Stability AI, and Amazon with a single API. With this interface, users will have a strong base to test out different generative AI approaches. Along with that, it allows it to be more accessible to anyone by providing a platform that makes working with foundation models less complicated.

Moreover, it has been made easier for users to share the apps they have created with their friends and the community. By providing a straightforward means to publish links on social media platforms using #partyrockplayground, AWS aims to foster a vibrant community of creators inspiring each other through their generative AI creations.

What’s the rock in PartyRock?

The best part about Amazon’s PartyRock is that it offers a limited-time free trial offer without the requirement of a credit card, unlike OpenAI’s GPT Builder, which requires a ChatGPT Plus subscription to start, making it widely accessible for a larger audience. It seems like Amazon is actually making everyone an app developer. 

“With PartyRock’s introduction, the conventional view of generative AI development as a challenging and specialised field is changing,” says Amazon. But it is just one step after OpenAI announced the same with GPT Builder. Apart from the free trial, what sets PartyRock apart is yet to be seen.

The rise of these agent building platforms such as OpenAI’s and now Amazon’s seems like the next frontier for LLM development. It is not just a playground for creating fun applications; rather, it also serves as an educational tool.
