• The technical architecture of ISLA, which includes Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Titan, Amazon Transcribe, LangChain, and a vector database.
• The process of developing ISLA, including the selection of Amazon Titan as the foundational model, the integration of Amazon Bedrock SDK, and the exploration of Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock.
• The future vision for ISLA, including its potential to evolve into an AI companion that can anticipate the needs of volunteers and social workers.
