Whiteboard: Fundamentals of GenAI

Knowing the Fundamentals of GenAI services is one thing. Knowing where each one goes is another. Each round gives you a requirement and a diagram with empty boxes: drag the right services in, leave the decoys out, and read why each piece fits.

Draw the design before someone asks you to.

A taste of what you will get

  • Leo wants a support chat built on a ready-made foundation model through one API, with no servers to manage. It must never repeat customers' personal details back in a reply.

    Sample design 1: Mei's support assistant. Which service fills the empty box?

    • Amazon Bedrock Guardrails
    • Amazon SageMaker JumpStart
    • Amazon Transcribe

    Answer: Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. Checks prompts and replies, and masks personal details such as addresses before they reach the customer.

  • Customers ask where their order is. Mei wants an agent that looks it up through the existing order API, with no servers to manage, scaling with demand.

    Sample design 2: Mei's order-status agent. Which service fills the empty box?

    • Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway
    • Amazon Polly
    • Amazon SageMaker JumpStart

    Answer: Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway. Turns the existing order API into a tool the agent can call (MCP).

  • Answer with time to spare and you can earn up to 5 bonus XP on top.
  • A wrong answer pays nothing. It does not cost you anything either.
  • Flashcards pay 2 XP each time you grade yourself 3 or higher.
