“Q Business connects to 40+ enterprise data sources and lets employees ask questions in natural language. It respects existing access controls so users only see data they are authorized for.” |
“Q Developer goes beyond code completion: it transforms entire Java 8 codebases to Java 17, generates unit tests, and provides inline security scanning. The /dev agent can implement multi-file features from a natural language description while respecting your existing patterns.” |
