Architecture
Users click an AI Insights button on an article. The system fetches the article full text at runtime, injects it into a prompt, and sends the prompt to Amazon Bedrock. Amazon Nova Lite then generates 2-5 bulleted insights and streams the response, with automatic translation support for user-selected languages. The feature runs in memory at runtime and was developed with AWS support and the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center.
