Amazon Rolls Out AI Coding Assistant Q and an AI App Generator

From PC Mag: Amazon is rolling out new features for developers and businesses using its Q AI model.

Q can now write and debug code or make multi-line code suggestions. The tech giant is also offering a new tool called Amazon Q Apps that generates custom-built AI-powered apps based on text prompts.

Q can also answer questions for employees at work about their company's operations. These custom chatbot features were first announced in November, but Amazon is now fully launching Q with its chatbot and coding capabilities to all its business clients. Q can also output data-driven narratives about a company's performance over time, diagnose AWS issues, or help IT pros improve a company's cloud services, for example. It can also help developers upgrade their software and analyze existing code.

“Since we announced the service at re:Invent, we have been amazed at the productivity gains developers and business users have seen," AWS VP of AI and Data Swami Sivasubramanian said in a statement. "Early indications signal Amazon Q could help our customers’ employees become more than 80% more productive at their jobs; and with the new features we’re planning on introducing in the future, we think this will only continue to grow."
