What is Amazon Bedrock Studio?

Amazon Bedrock Studio is a web app that lets you easily protoype apps that use Amazon Bedrock models and features, without having to set up and use a developer environment. For example, you can use Amazon Bedrock to try a prompt with an Anthropic Claude model without having to write any code. Later, you can use Bedrock Studio to create a prototype app that uses an Amazon Bedrock model and features, such as a Knowledge Base or a Guardrail, again without having to write any code.

To use Amazon Bedrock Studio, you must be a member of a workspace. Your organization will provide you with login details. If you don't have login details, contact your administrator.

Note

If you are administrator and need information about managing an Amazon Bedrock Studio workspace, see Manage Amazon Bedrock Studio in the Amazon Bedrock user guide.

Workspaces

A workspace in Amazon Bedrock Studio is where you experiment with Amazon Bedrock models and where you can build Amazon Bedrock enabled apps. As an Amazon Bedrock Studio user, you can use a workspace in two types of user mode, Explore or Build.

Explore mode

Explore mode provides a playground that lets you easily try a model by sending prompts to the model and viewing the responses. For more information, see Explore Amazon Bedrock Studio.

Build mode

Build mode is where you can create apps that use Amazon Bedrock models. You can create two types of apps, a chat app and a Prompt Flows app. A chat app allows users to communicate with an Amazon Bedrock model through a conversational interface, typically by sending text messages and receiving responses. A Prompt Flows app allows you to link prompts, supported foundational models (FMS), and other units of work, such as a Knowledge Base, together and create generative AI workflows for end-to-end solutions.

Apps that you create with Bedrock Studio can integrate the following Amazon Bedrock features.

• Data sources — Enrich apps by including context that is received from querying a Knowledge Base or a document.

• Guardrails — Lets you implement safeguards for your Bedrock Studio app based on your use cases and responsible AI policies.

• Functions — Lets a model call a function to access a specific capability when handling a prompt.

• Prompt Management — Reusable prompts that you can use in a Prompt Flows app.

Within Build mode, you use a project to organize the apps, prompts, and components that you use for a solution. A component is an Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base, Guardrail, or Function. When you open a project, you can access the App builder and Project details by opening the side navigation menu.

The App builder is one way you can access the chat app or Prompt Flows app that you are currently working on. Project details is where you create and manage the apps, components, and prompts that the apps in your project use. For more information, see Organize your work with projects in Amazon Bedrock Studio.

If you work on a team, you can collaborate by sharing a project with other team members. For more information, see Share an Amazon Bedrock Studio project.
