With AI, we can really improve our efficiency in writing and programming. In particular, the programming does not need to be completely rewritten, but can be directly repaired after being generated by AI tools. In this article, Lao Jiang recorded that Amazon Q AI programming assistant tool of Amazon Cloud can be bound to our common script editor, such as VS Code, which I often use for auxiliary code development.

Search "Amazon Q" in the external VS Code, and you can see that it is installed directly as shown in the figure below.

If we are deep users, we need to use the development version, which costs 19 dollars per month. If it is a simple experience, we will use the free version.

Log in to our AWS account. If we don't register, we can Application for registration . Registration now also gives away 12 months of ECS and other 100+free cloud application experiences.

Authorize our cloud application. After confirming that there is no problem, we return to VS CODE.

We can see that Q&A has been used. Entering commands directly can help us to work as an AI programming assistant.

Very efficient. However, the free version is limited. We can experience it. If we really need to use a lot, we can use the paid version. Let's compare the free and professional versions.

Of course, the specific cost is subject to the actual situation. Here I just experience that Amazon Q can be bound to our code editor, and the efficiency can greatly improve the development speed.
