Last week, AWS announced PartyRock, which is an Amazon Bedrock Playground interface that lets you build fun applications using Generative AI – without the need to know any coding.  While you play with it, you also learn about Prompt Engineering and how the Large Language Models work in slightly different ways.

As it was the weekend, I decided to have some fun with it too. Being close to dinner time, I thought it would be good to have an application that asks what I’d like to have for dinner and once known, tells me about the ingredients required, cooking time, and any allergen information – along with what it looks like.

The process is so easy that it took me about 5 minutes to create that. So, I started thinking about what else to add. It occurred to me that having the capability to ask a few questions about the dish – before I decide to make it – would be useful.  While adding that capability, I thought it would be funny if it was the food answering questions about itself.

So, the “Cheeky and Chatty Dinner Decider” was created. Go ahead and have a play with it. It may ask you to log in first using your preferred method.

While trying it out, I had a “chat with the food” I was thinking of and the results were indeed quite funny. Here’s what happened when I chatted with Fish and Chips.

I also enjoyed my chat with “Smoked Salmon and Avocado Sushi” very much!

You get the idea – not only can you get the recipe information but also get tips on variations, the dish’s origin/history etc. A couple of other “chats” I enjoyed were with “Jacket Potatoes” and “Hawaiian Pizza“.

All of that was done in about 15 minutes so you can see how easy it is to play with this amazing tool and have Generative AI with Amazon Bedrock at your disposal to build and learn about this rapidly evolving technology.

I would highly recommend that you give PartyRock a go.  Look at the guidance on the page below and try out some of the accompanying examples that are already there.  You can also “Remix” my app and enhance it to suit your taste. Jeff Barr has also written an introductory blog post that goes through the basics.

So, what are you waiting for – go build!
