Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

Imagine never having to wait in a checkout line at the store again. Well, you don’t need to imagine anymore. 💭 Our Just Walk Out Technology is exactly as it sounds. Just step inside a store, grab what you want, and leave. Simple as that. But pulling this off was no small feat. To create this technology, Amazon Web Services (AWS) used a combination of computer vision, object recognition, advanced sensors, deep machine learning models, and generative AI – a type of artificial intelligence that has recently captured the public’s imagination. We are so incredibly proud and thankful to all of our amazing employees who worked to create this technology that almost feels like magic. 💫 🔮 If you believe in magic, read no further.
