I wanted to build a smart chatbot for my Give You A Home Construction Ltd. company’s website to provide quick, helpful responses to customer questions and improve user experience. This AI Chatbot by AWS Bedrock is a scalable, intelligent conversational agent powered by AWS’s cutting-edge foundation models. Built with serverless AWS services, it provides seamless, context-aware customer interaction.

1. Architecture Overview


2. Setup Overview

Step A: Setup User Authentication with Amazon Cognito

  • Create a Cognito User Pool for users to register and login.
  • Enable user sign-up/sign-in.
  • Integrate Cognito with frontend React app (via AWS Amplify Auth module).

Step B: Frontend Chat UI with React + AWS Amplify Hosting

  • React app with chat interface.
  • Use Amplify to host static site and integrate Cognito auth.
  • Frontend calls API Gateway endpoints.

Step C: Backend API with API Gateway + AWS Lambda

  • API Gateway exposes REST endpoints (e.g., /chat).
  • Lambda functions handle requests, call AWS Bedrock, store chat history in DynamoDB.

Step D: Use AWS Bedrock for AI Responses

  • In Lambda, call Bedrock foundation models (e.g., Anthropic Claude) to get chatbot reply.

Step E: Persist Data in DynamoDB

  • Store chat sessions and conversation logs per user.
  • Helps for context or analytics later.

Step F: Monitor with CloudWatch

  • Log Lambda invocations, errors, and set alarms if needed.

3. Detailed Implementation Steps


Step A: Cognito Setup

  1. Go to AWS Cognito console → Create a User Pool
  2. Configure sign-in options (email, username)
  3. Set password policies and verification settings
  4. Create an App Client without a secret (for web app)
  5. Note the User Pool ID and App Client ID

Step B: React Frontend


Step C: AWS Lambda Backend (Python )


Step D: DynamoDB Table Setup

  • Create a DynamoDB table named GYAHChatHistory
  • Partition Key: UserId (String)
  • Sort Key: Timestamp (Number)

Step E: API Gateway

  • Create a REST API
  • Create /chat POST method linked to Lambda function
  • Enable Cognito User Pool authorizer to secure API
  • Deploy the API and get the invoke URL for your frontend

Step F: Monitoring and Logging

  • Use CloudWatch Logs for Lambda
  • Set alarms for errors or throttling
  • Optionally enable X-Ray for tracing

5. Next Steps & Recommendations

  • Use Amplify CLI to speed up Cognito, API Gateway, Lambda, and hosting setup
  • Add multi-turn conversation context by storing past messages in DynamoDB and feeding them to Bedrock prompt
  • Implement proper error handling and retries
  • Add front-end polishing and user experience improvements

This project demonstrates how to leverage AWS Bedrock and related AWS services to build a powerful, efficient, and easy-to-maintain AI chatbot. It can be customized and extended to fit various business needs, helping companies deliver exceptional customer service with the latest AI technology.
