Amazon CodeWhisperer, an AI coding companion that provides real-time code suggestions, is now generally available and offers a free CodeWhisperer Individual tier for all developers. CodeWhisperer is optimized for the most-used AWS APIs, making it an excellent coding companion for those building applications on AWS. CodeWhisperer supports the following programming languages: Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, C, C++, Shell scripting, SQL, and Scala. It can be used in a variety of IDEs, including Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA, CLion, GoLand, WebStorm, Rider, PhpStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine, and DataGrip IDEs (when the appropriate AWS extensions for those IDEs are installed), or natively in AWS Cloud9 or AWS Lambda console. CodeWhisperer offers an additional Professional tier for business users, which includes administrative features and higher limits on security scanning. CodeWhisperer can filter out code suggestions that may be considered biased or unfair and scan both generated and developer-written code for vulnerabilities. During the preview, CodeWhisperer users were 27% more likely to complete tasks successfully and did so an average of 57% faster than those who didn't use CodeWhisperer.
