Amazon CodeWhisperer is an AI programming assistant from AWS designed to enhance developer productivity with real-time code suggestions. It supports a wide range of programming languages, including Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, Go, and more, and is compatible with mainstream IDEs such as Visual Studio Code, JetBrains Series, AWS Cloud9, SageMaker Studio, and more. CodeWhisperer generates code suggestions for entire lines or full functions based on context, assisting in creating AWS resources (e.g., S3, DynamoDB), writing unit tests, importing libraries, and managing AWS sessions. It also has security scanning capabilities that identify common vulnerabilities such as the OWASP Top 10 and provide remediation recommendations. CodeWhisperer offers a free Personal and Pro version, with the Pro version supporting team management, customization, and enterprise-grade security controls. CodeWhisperer's capabilities are now being integrated into Amazon Q Developer, which provides a more powerful generative AI programming experience.

Kiro

Kiro

Kiro is an AI-powered integrated development environment (IDE) powered by AWS that creates a full-process experience from prototype to production for developers. It uses a spec-driven development model that automatically converts natural language prompts into detailed requirements, system designs, and specific tasks, and performs code generation, documentation maintenance, unit testing, and performance optimization through intelligent agents. Built-in agent hooks support event-driven automation (such as saving file triggers) and Steering files to give users custom control over AI behavior. Kiro natively integrates Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect to multiple tools and services (e.g., databases, documents, APIs), and is compatible with VS Code plugins and settings, supporting multimodal inputs such as image indication UI or architectural logic. Currently in preview, the core features are open for free, and tiered subscriptions are available for professional users.
