What Is Amazon CodeWhisperer?
Amazon CodeWhisperer is a machine learning-powered coding assistant that provides real-time code recommendations and suggestions.
As you write code, CodeWhisperer generates contextually relevant suggestions based on the existing code and comments, ranging from single lines to complete functions.
It can scan your code for security issues, enhancing the overall quality and safety of the code.
