Summary
In this chapter, we had a quick introduction to generative AI and how it has revolutionized many industries. Specifically in the software development industry, we examined some of the common challenges faced by developers. We then introduced various areas of the development process where generative AI-powered assistants can help developers and how they can benefit from such assistants.
Finally, we looked at some of the assistants available in the market today and how they help solve day-to-day challenges. We specifically highlighted Amazon Q Developer, a service provided by AWS that can help developers and builders. The rest of the book will revolve around Amazon Q Developer as the go-to assistant for software development.
In our next chapter, we will look at what Amazon Q Developer is and how it helps developers. We will also look at how to set it up in a variety of integrated development environments (IDEs) and other development tools typically used.
