Section titled “Concept”Amazon Connect Decisions is a service for supply chain planning and decision-making, where AI assistants (AI teammates) work alongside your team and handle coordination. Supply chain means the whole path, from buying raw materials to making products, storing them in warehouses and delivering them to buyers. According to the official documentation, it has three main jobs: supply chain planning, demand forecasting, and making decisions with the help of AI. In AWS’s documentation list, the link for AWS Supply Chain also goes to this service’s documentation. This is a brand-new AWS service, so few details about it have been published so far.
