#AWSStepFunctions + #JSONata = fewer transitions!

An example calculating the average CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) score for an event

$states.result.Items[type.S = 'CSAT'].csatEvent.S ~> $map(function($v) {$number($v)}) ~> $average ~> $round(2)

Tip for #GenAI in #AWSStepFunctions. By using a pass state to format the input and the Bedrock Converse task, I can easily add multiple models to compare outputs. In the converse task, I simply change the desired model.
