President and CEO of Amazon. Founded and led AWS from 2003 to 2021. Overseeing Amazon's major investments in AI through AWS Bedrock, the $4 billion Anthropic partnership, and Alexa's generative AI overhaul.
Jassy bet $4B on Anthropic, built custom AI chips, and launched Bedrock to keep AWS at the center of enterprise AI. The strategy is classic Amazon -- own the infrastructure layer and let customers choose their models. His challenge is that the AI era rewards vertical integration and opinionated products, not just neutral platform plays, and AWS risks becoming the plumbing while others capture the value.
Excited to have Alexa for Shopping rolled out for all of our customers, bringing together Rufus and Alexa+ to give customers an even more compelling AI shopping assistant. Alexa for Shopping is like having an expert personal shopper who already knows you and remembers your preferences, past purchases, and conversations, and carries that knowledge and understanding across your phone, laptop, and Echo devices. Look forward to seeing how customers use it. https://lnkd.in/gbjZPMx7
Amazon Supply Chain Services—our freight, distribution, fulfillment, and parcel shipping network—can now be used by any business. Was built over nearly three decades to move, store, and deliver products across land, air, and sea. All one network, so no need to piece together different providers at every stage. Same reliability and speed our customers rely on. P&G, 3M, Lands' End, and American Eagle already on board. Gonna help a lot of businesses move faster, save money, and simplify things. https://lnkd.in/g94Ge3YP
The Quick desktop app is here, and it’s compelling. Connects to your email, calendar, Slack, local files, and several other apps to flag important communications, retrieve and summarize info, make recommendations, send communications, and create agents that do work you used to have to do yourself. Gets smarter and more personalized the more you use it. Been using it a lot recently and is changing how I work. It’s allowing me to use applications like my inbox more like an archive, and Quick as my personalized, prioritized, productivity hub that can multi-task various needs. Still early days, and a lot more coming, but excited for folks to start using it to make the undifferentiated work so much less complicated. https://lnkd.in/gwGTeFzm
