To enable businesses to tailor the tool to produce customized code recommendations from private code repositories, Amazon Web Services has announced the preview of new capabilities introduced to its coding assistant Amazon CodeWhisperer.

The majority of well-known programming languages, including Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and C#, are also supported by this capability.

Developers now have access to unprecedented levels of efficiency and freedom thanks to AI-powered coding tools like GitHub Copilot and Amazon CodeWhisperer.

GitHub Copilot employs big open-source code repositories to provide intelligent code recommendations, in contrast to CodeWhisperer, which emphasizes customisation and allows enterprises modify code recommendations based on their own internal APIs and libraries.

The CodeWhisperer Customization Capability is now available in the US East (N. Virginia) AWS region and is in the preview stage. When it becomes generally available, information on pricing will be made available.

The ability to write quality code is essential for developers. But the vast majority of AI coding assistants currently on the market are mostly trained on open-source software, which restricts their capacity to offer distinctive suggestions based on an organization's internal libraries and APIs. Due to this restriction, developers now face a range of difficulties, including how to effectively use internal libraries and ensure code security, particularly when working with big codebases.

Amazon CodeWhisperer's customisation tool is designed to address these issues head-on.

Developers who purchase the Amazon CodeWhisperer Professional tier will be able to use this new feature to receive real-time code recommendations that are tailored to their organization's internal libraries, APIs, packages, classes, and methods.

Additionally, this function ensures that the personal repositories are protected to the highest standard.

The CodeWhisperer administrators have the power to pick certain repositories for modification while strictly controlling access.

They can choose which customizations to enable and efficiently manage access by limiting it to approved developers using the AWS Management Console.
