# Q Business Retriever

Q Business Retriever in AWS is part of the Amazon Q Business service, which helps applications access and retrieve relevant business data. A retriever defines how information is fetched from connected data sources, enabling more accurate and context-aware responses for business queries. It is typically used to configure and manage retrieval logic so that Amazon Q Business can surface the most useful information to end users.
