Coding just got better with Amazon CodeWhisperer

Quadri Borokinni — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 09:54:58 +0000

CodeWhisperer is a ML-powered service that helps improve developer productivity by generating code recommendations based on their comments in natural language and code in the IDE.

CodeWhisperer will continually examine your code and your comments, and present you with syntactically correct recommendations. The recommendations are synthesized based on your coding style and variable names, and are not simply snippets.

CodeWhisperer uses multiple contextual clues to drive recommendations including the cursor location in the source code, code that precedes the cursor, comments, and code in other files in the same projects. You can use the recommendations as-is, or you can enhance and customize them as needed. We trained (and continue to train) CodeWhisperer on billions of lines of code drawn from open source repositories, internal Amazon repositories, API documentation, and forums.

Join the Preview. During the preview period, developers can use CodeWhisperer at no cost. 👈

The preview supports code written in Python, Java, and JavaScript, using VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, and AWS Cloud9.
