GeoFlix - My First App on PartyRock

PartyRock from AWS is a fun way to build simple Gen AI apps.

PartyRock uses foundation models from Amazon Bedrock to turn your ideas into working PartyRock apps through its code-free app builder (similar to OpenAI's GPT Builder).

Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that makes foundation models (FMs) from Amazon and leading AI companies available on AWS available through an API. 

You have to sign in with a Google, Apple or Amazon account -

After I tried out some of the featured apps on the home page, I was able to build my own in minutes and publish it publicly - GeoFlix, check it out

All I did was to provide the prompt that "the app should identify and suggest movies that prominently feature specified locations or place names within their storylines."

I edited the pre-created app name to GeoFlix and clicked on the "Make public and Share" button. 

And that's all it took to get a URL for my app GeoFlix that I can share with the world.
There is a choice to make the app private again.

AWS is offering new PartyRock users a free trial without the need to provide a credit card or sign up for an AWS account for a limited time. The percentage balance reflecting the amount of free trial usage remaining for your account is displayed in real time within PartyRock on your Backstage profile page as PartyRock credit. PartyRock credit is calculated by your input tokens, output tokens, and generated images. PartyRock Credit usage varies by model to help users build intuition on cost consideration when using generative AI. 

Currently 5 LLM models are offered:
The relative consumption of each model is expressed in a scale of (1-3 token stacks) on the model selection dropdown. A (3 token stack) will consume the most credit, a (2 token stack) will consume moderate credit, and a (1 token stack) will consume the least credit. 

While the free trial usage limit seems liberal, you have to be watchful of your consumption quota, which model you use and how may tokens are used while interacting with your apps or those created by others.

With some prompting, the Claude model also generated this description for the app -
Discover the magic of movie locations with GeoFlix. Our innovative app allows you to explore the world through the lens of cinema by identifying films that prominently feature real-world places. Just search for a city, country, or other geographic location, and GeoFlix will suggest relevant titles and provide fascinating details about how the setting is used in each movie's narrative. Whether you're planning a trip, studying a region, or just want to be transported somewhere new, GeoFlix makes it easy to find films that authentically showcase destinations worldwide.

PartyRock is indeed a great way to experiment with prompt engineering techniques, review generated responses, and develop an intuition for generative AI while creating and exploring fun apps!
