Amazon Code Whisperer is an AI-powered tool designed to enhance developer efficiency. it is an AI coding assistant that helps improve developer productivity by generating code recommendations based on their Prompts/comments in natural language and suggests code directly in your the integrated development environment (IDE).
Code Whisperer is powered by a Large Language Model (LLM) that is trained on billions of lines of code, and as a result, has learned how to write code in 15 programming languages. You can simply write a comment to describe your task in plain English, such as "How to write a file" Based on this, Code Whisperer automatically determines which cloud services and public libraries are best suited for the specified task, and create the specific code and recommends the generated code snippets directly in the IDE.
Similar to Copilot GitHub Amazon also launched its AI Coding Assistance, In This Rapidly growing era of AI no one want to remains behind.
Below are some key features of CodeWhisperer
Code Suggestions
CodeWhisperer generates code suggestions within your integrated development environment (IDE) based on your promts/coments and existing code. It provides suggestion to complete code. CodeWhisperer can suggests code that resemble publicly available code. Get the associated open-source project’s repository URL and license so that you can more easily review them and add attribution.
