I have created a AWS RDS database instance and I am trying to connect it to Datagrip. I chose Easy create, MySQL, Freetier and set the name as audiotranscribe. The profile of the instance is as follows:

In Datagrip I selected MySQL as the data source, used the password and username I set the instance up with, and set the hostname as the endpoint:

However, I'm getting the error:

[08001] Could not create connection to database server. Attempted reconnect 3 times. Giving up. java.net.UnknownHostException:

Could anybody explain what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

The instance is not publicly accessible, so you will not be able to connect to it from the Internet. You will need to either make it publicly accessible (not a good idea) or connect to it through a VPN.
