In this episode of From Cover to Code, Angela and Michael continue their walk through the AWS Certified AI Practitioner Study Guide with a discussion of Chapters 5 and 6, focused on real-world AWS AI services plus getting started with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Q.
They break down where services like Rekognition, Comprehend, Kendra, Lex, Polly, Textract, and Fraud Detector fit in real scenarios, then shift into Bedrock's model catalog, playground comparisons, tuning controls, guardrails, and the growing role of Amazon Q inside day-to-day AWS workflows.
Along the way, they work through certification-style quiz questions, unpack model settings like temperature and top P, explore customization concepts like distillation and continued pre-training, and connect AI decisions back to business outcomes, governance, and exam readiness.
