Tech companies are scrambling to keep up in the race for AI supremacy, and it seems Amazon is no different. The tech giant is secretly working on an AI chatbot which it hopes will prise users away from ChatGPT, according to a report. Amazon's'ChatGPT killer' – named'Metis' after the Greek god of wisdom – will likely be launched at its autumn product event, expected to occur in September. When prompted, Metis will return up-to-date text information in a'conversational manner, as well as images. But its abilities will go even further by performing'complex' tasks such as turning on your lights and booking a flight for you – acting as an'AI agent'.
