AWS – Amazon Q Developer announces support for inline chat to streamline the developer experience

Today, Amazon Q Developer announces an enhanced chat experience that allows you to seamlessly initiate chat within the inline coding experience. With this capability, you can select a section of code that you need assistance with and initiate chat within the editor to request actions such as “Optimize this code”, “Add comments”, or “Write tests”.

With inline chat support, powered by the latest version of Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Q Developer generates and displays an inline diff (set of code changes) view based on the prompt in real time, making it easy to understand and evaluate suggestions directly from your code editor. You can then use keyboard shortcuts to review and accept changes without needing to switch context between different chat panels in your IDE. This allows you to efficiently complete tasks, improving and streamlining the development process.

Inline chat support is available within the Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs and in all AWS regions where Q Developer is available. Learn more about inline chat support.
