Amazon Connect launches an API to programmatically transfer tasks
Amazon Connect now provides a TransferContact API to programmatically transfer tasks to another flow, to an agent queue, or to a shared queue for distribution to an available agent. Amazon Connect Tasks empowers contact center managers to prioritize, assign, track, and automate customer service tasks across the disparate applications used by agents. Using this API, contact center managers can now directly transfer tasks from their custom analytics dashboards for time resolution. You can already dynamically prioritize and assign tasks using Connect Flows based on agent skill set, availability, and information about the task (e.g., type, priority/urgency, category).
Amazon Kendra releases GitHub SaaS Connector
Amazon Kendra is an intelligent search service powered by machine learning, enabling organizations to provide relevant information to customers and employees, when they need it.

Amazon Connect now supports custom templates for agent tasks
Amazon Connect now allows you to create custom task templates, making it easy for agents to capture the right information to create and complete tasks. Amazon Connect Tasks empowers you to prioritize, assign, and track all contact center agent tasks to completion, improving agent productivity and ensuring customer issues are quickly resolved. You can easily compose templates for a variety of scenarios such as such as investigating billing issues or new insurance claims, allowing agents to choose the template that best suits the situation. For example, when handling a billing inquiry, a task template can pre-populate data and guide agents to gather additional information needed to quickly resolve the issue. Task templates are supported out-of-the box without the need for manual configuration for the Amazon Connect agent application. To learn more, see the API reference guide, help documentation, or visit our webpage.
Amazon Kendra releases GitHub OnPrem connectors
Amazon Kendra is an intelligent search service powered by machine learning, enabling organizations to provide relevant information to customers and employees, when they need it.

Amazon Chime SDK now supports centralized attendee controls
The Amazon Chime SDK now lets developers centrally control each participant’s ability to send and receive audio, video, and screen share within a WebRTC session. Amazon Chime SDK lets developers add intelligent real-time audio, video, and screen share to their web and mobile applications. Enforcement of attendee capabilities is centralized in the WebRTC session, so developers do not have to rely on logic within client applications, which may be outdated in older versions.
Announcing AWS PrivateLink support for AWS Panorama
AWS Panorama customers can now use AWS PrivateLink to access AWS Panorama from their Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) without using public endpoints, and without requiring the traffic to traverse the Internet. Using AWS PrivateLink, you can access AWS Panorama endpoints easily and securely by keeping your traffic within the AWS network, while simplifying your internal network architecture. You no longer need to use an internet gateway, Network Address Translation (NAT) devices, or firewall proxies to connect to AWS Panorama.
Amazon Braket, the quantum computing service from AWS, adds support for Borealis, a new photonic quantum processing unit (QPU) from Xanadu. The Borealis device is the first publicly available quantum computer that is claimed to have achieved quantum advantage: the technical milestone when a quantum computer outperforms the world’s fastest supercomputers on a well-defined task, in a peer-reviewed study published in the journal of Nature. Until now, none of the devices that have been claimed to demonstrate quantum advantage have been accessible to the public, but for the first time, customers can test a quantum advantage claim for themselves on Amazon Braket while also exploring potential applications for this technology.
Amazon CloudWatch adds Elemental MediaTailor to Vended Logs pricing
Amazon CloudWatch now supports AWS Elemental MediaTailor logs as part of Vended Logs. Vended logs are specific AWS service logs natively published by AWS services on behalf of the customer and available at volume discount pricing.
