#581: [INTRODUCING] Amazon CodeWhisperer
Amazon CodeWhisperer enables software developers to get real-time code recommendations in their IDE based on their (English) comments describing the task at hand, and their current coding context. With CodeWhisperer, developers can simply write a natural language comment that outlines a specific task such as “get new files uploaded in the last 24 hours from the S3 bucket” and CodeWhisperer automatically determines which cloud services and public libraries are best suited for the specified task and generates the code for the developer. CodeWhisperer is especially well suited to helping developers generate code that simplifies consumption of AWS services (e.g., Amazon EC2 or Amazon S3), making it the best coding assistant for if you are developing for AWS.
