Announcing GenAI Index in Amazon Kendra

Amazon Kendra is an AI-powered search service enabling organizations to build intelligent search experiences and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems to power generative AI applications. Starting today, AWS customers can use a new index - the GenAI Index for RAG and intelligent search. With the Kendra GenAI Index, customers get high out-of-the-box search accuracy powered by the latest information retrieval technologies and semantic models. Kendra GenAI Index supports mobility across AWS generative AI services like Amazon [Bedrock Knowledge Base](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/knowledge-bases/) and [Amazon Q Business](https://aws.amazon.com/q/business/), giving customers the flexibility to use their indexed content across different use cases. It is available as a managed retriever in Bedrock Knowledge Bases, enabling customers to create a Knowledge Base powered by the Kendra GenAI Index. Customers can also integrate such Knowledge Bases with other Bedrock Services like Guardrails, Prompt Flows, and Agents to build advanced generative AI applications. The GenAI Index supports connectors for 43 different data sources, enabling customers to easily ingest content from a variety of sources. Kendra GenAI Index is available in the US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon) regions. To learn more, see Kendra GenAI Index in the [Amazon Kendra Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/hiw-index-types.html).
