Building an LLM-Powered Analytics Slack Bot at Twitch

GenAI Applications

The best way to beat a wave of automation is to surf it. With this principle in mind, the data team at Amazon IVS / Twitch Video has developed an LLM-powered data analytics bot to augment their data operations. The bot integrates with Slack, allowing employees to interact with data tools through a familiar chat interface. It performs a range of tasks including SQL query generation, chat summarization, and account lookups. This talk provides a practical walkthrough of the implementation, demonstrating how teams can build similar solutions using standard AWS services.
