Enterprise assistant for company knowledge and business applications with connectors and access controls.
Key points
- Provides a managed generative AI assistant for workplace knowledge and business tasks.

- Uses existing user permissions so responses are scoped to what the user is allowed to access.
- Can answer questions, summarize content, and help employees complete business tasks.
- Targets business users rather than developers writing code.
When to use it
- Choose Q Business for an internal assistant over company documents and business applications.
- Use it when employees need answers from many enterprise systems with access controls preserved.
- Use it for HR, policy, support, sales, and operations knowledge assistants.
Exam tips
- Q Business is the enterprise knowledge assistant; Q Developer is the developer and AWS coding assistant.
- Connector and permission-aware answers are strong clues for Q Business.
- Do not choose Bedrock directly when the question asks for a ready-made enterprise assistant.
- Access control matters because users should not receive answers from content they cannot normally view.
