Starting today, you can now use Amazon Q Developer in GitHub in preview! This is fantastic news for the millions of developers who use GitHub on a daily basis, whether at work or for personal projects. They can now use Amazon Q Developer for feature development, code reviews, and Java code migration directly within the GitHub interface.

To demonstrate, I’m going to use Amazon Q Developer to help me create an application from zero called StoryBook Teller. I want this to be an ASP.Core website using .NET 9 that takes three images from the user and uses Amazon Bedrock with Anthropic’s Claude to generate a story based on them.

Let me show you how this works.

Installation

The first thing you need to do is install the Amazon Q Developer application in GitHub, and you can begin using it immediately without connecting to an AWS account.

You’ll then be presented with a choice to add it to all your repositories or select specific ones. In this case, I want to add it to my storybook-teller-demo repo, so I choose Only selected repositories and type in the name to find it.

This is all you need to do to make the Amazon Q Developer app ready to use inside your selected repos. You can verify that the app is installed by navigating to your GitHub account Settings and the app should be listed in the Applications page.

You can choose Configure to view permissions and add Amazon Q Developer to repositories or remove it at any time.

Now let’s use Amazon Q Developer to help us build our application.

Feature development
When Amazon Q Developer is installed into a repository, you can assign GitHub issues to the Amazon Q development agent to develop features for you. It will then generate code using the whole codebase in your repository as context as well as the issue’s description. This is why it’s important to list your requirements as accurately and clearly as possible in your GitHub issues, the same way that you should always strive for anyway.

I have created five issues in my StoryBook Teller repository that cover all my requirements for this app, from creating a skeleton .NET 9 project to implementing frontend and backend.

Let’s use Amazon Q Developer to develop the application from scratch and help us implement all these features!

To begin with, I want Amazon Q Developer to help me create the .NET project. To do this, I open the first issue, and in the Labels section, I find and select Amazon Q development agent.

That’s all there is to it! The issue is now assigned to Amazon Q Developer. After the label is added, the Amazon Q development agent automatically starts working behind the scenes providing progress updates through the comments, starting with one saying, I'm working on it.

As you might expect, the amount of time it takes will depend on the complexity of the feature. When it’s done, it will automatically create a pull request with all the changes.

The next thing I want to do is make sure that the generated code works, so I’m going to download the code changes and run the app locally on my computer.

I go to my terminal and type git fetch origin pull/6/head:pr-6 to get the code for the pull request it created. I double-check the contents and I can see that I do indeed have an ASP.Core project generated using .NET 9, as I expected.

I then run dotnet run and open the app with the URL given in the output.

Brilliant, it works! Amazon Q Developer took care of implementing this one exactly as I wanted based on the requirements I provided in the GitHub issue. Now that I have tested that the app works, I want to review the code itself before I accept the changes.

Code review
I go back to GitHub and open the pull request. The first thing I notice is that Amazon Q Developer has performed some automatic checks on the generated code.

This is great! It has already done quite a bit of the work for me. However, I want to review it before I merge the pull request. To do that, I navigate to the Files changed tab.

I review the code, and I like what I see! However, looking at the contents of .gitignore, I notice something that I want to change. I can see that Amazon Q Developer made good assumptions and added exclusion rules for Visual Studio (VS) Code files. However, JetBrains Rider is my favorite integrated development environment (IDE) for .NET development, so I want to add rules for it, too.

You can ask Amazon Q Developer to reiterate and make changes by using the normal code review flow in the GitHub interface. In this case, I add a comment to the .gitignore code saying, add patterns to ignore Rider IDE files. I then choose Start a review, which will queue the change in the review.

I select Finish your review and Request changes.

Soon after I submit the review, I’m redirected to the Conversation tab. Amazon Q Developer starts working on it, resuming the same feedback loop and encouraging me to continue with the review process until I’m satisfied.

Every time Q Developer makes changes, it will run the automated checks on the generated code. In this case, the code was somewhat straightforward, so it was expected that the automatic code review wouldn’t raise any issues. But what happens if we have more complex code?

Let’s take another example and use Amazon Q Developer to implement the feature for enabling image uploads on the website. I use the same flow I described in the previous section. However, I notice that the automated checks on the pull request flagged a warning this time, stating that the API generated to support image uploads on the backend is missing authorization checks effectively allowing direct public access. It explains the security risk in detail and provides useful links.

It then automatically generates a suggested code fix.

When it’s done, you can review the code and choose to Commit changes if you’re happy with the changes.

After fixing this and testing it, I’m happy with the code for this issue and move on applying the same process to other ones. I assign the Amazon Q development agent to each one of my remaining issues, wait for it to generate the code, and go through the iterative review process asking it to fix any issues for me along the way. I then test my application at the end of that software cycle and am very pleased to see that Amazon Q Developer managed to handle all issues, from project setup, to boilerplate code, to more complex backend and frontend. A true full-stack developer!

I did notice some things that I wanted to change along the way. For example, it defaulted to using the Invoke API to send the uploaded images to Amazon Bedrock instead of the Converse API. However, because I didn’t state this in my requirements, it had no way of knowing. This highlights the importance of being as precise as possible in your issue’s titles and descriptions to give Q Developer the necessary context and make the development process as efficient as possible.

Having said that, it’s still straightforward to review the generated code on the pull requests, add comments, and let the Amazon Q Developer agent keep working on changes until you’re happy with the final result. Alternatively, you can accept the changes in the pull request and create separate issues that you can assign to Q Developer later when you’re ready to develop them.

Code transformation
You can also transform legacy Java codebases to modern versions with Q Developer. Currently, it can update applications from Java 8 or Java 11 to Java 17, with more options coming in future releases.

The process is very similar to the one I demonstrated earlier in this post, except for a few things.

First, you need to create an issue within a GitHub repository containing a Java 8 or Java 11 application. The title and description don’t really matter in this case. It might even be a short title such as “Migration,” leaving the description empty. Then, on Labels, you assign the Amazon Q transform agent label to the issue.

Much like before, Amazon Q Developer will start working immediately behind the scenes before generating the code on a pull request that you can review. This time, however, it’s the Amazon Q transform agent doing the work which is specialized in code migration and will take all the necessary steps to analyze and migrate the code from Java 8 to Java 17.

Notice that it also needs a workflow to be created, as per the documentation. If you don’t have it enabled yet, it will display clear instructions to help you get everything set up before trying again.

As expected, the amount of time needed to perform a migration depends on the size and complexity of your application.

Conclusion
Using Amazon Q Developer in GitHub is like having a full-stack developer that you can collaborate with to develop new features, accelerate the code review process, and rely on to enhance the security posture and quality of your code. You can also use it to automate migration from Java 8 and 11 applications to Java 17 making it much easier to get started on that migration project that you might have been postponing for a while. Best of all, you can do all this from the comfort of your own GitHub environment.

Now available
You can now start using Amazon Q Developer today for free in GitHub, no AWS account setup needed.

Amazon Q Developer in GitHub is currently in preview.

Today, Amazon Q Developer introduces a new, interactive, agentic coding experience that is now available in the integrated development environments (IDE) for Visual Studio Code. This experience brings interactive coding capabilities, building upon existing prompt-based features. You now have a natural, real-time collaborative partner working alongside you while writing code, creating documentation, running tests, and reviewing changes.

Amazon Q Developer transforms how you write and maintain code by providing transparent reasoning for its suggestions and giving you the choice between automated modifications or step-by-step confirmation of changes. As a daily user of Amazon Q Developer command line interface (CLI) agent, I’ve experienced firsthand how Amazon Q Developer chat interface makes software development a more efficient and intuitive process. Having an AI-powered assistant only a q chat away in CLI has streamlined my daily development workflow, enhancing the coding process.

The new agentic coding experience in Amazon Q Developer in the IDE seamlessly interacts with your local development environment. You can read and write files directly, execute bash commands, and engage in natural conversations about your code. Amazon Q Developer comprehends your codebase context and helps complete complex tasks through natural dialog, maintaining your workflow momentum while increasing development speed.

Let’s see it in action
To begin using Amazon Q Developer for the first time, follow the steps in the Getting Started with Amazon Q Developer guide to access Amazon Q Developer. When using Amazon Q Developer, you can choose between Amazon Q Developer Pro, a paid subscription service, or Amazon Q Developer Free tier with AWS Builder ID user authentication.

For existing users, update to the new version. Refer to Using Amazon Q Developer in the IDE for activation instructions.

To start, I select the Amazon Q icon in my IDE to open the chat interface. For this demonstration, I’ll create a web application that transforms Jupiter notebooks from the Amazon Nova sample repository into interactive applications.

I send the following prompt: In a new folder, create a web application for video and image generation that uses the notebooks from multimodal-generation/workshop-sample as examples to create the applications. Adapt the code in the notebooks to interact with models. Use existing model IDs

Amazon Q Developer then examines the files: the README file, notebooks, notes, and everything that is in the folder where the conversation is positioned. In our case it’s at the root of the repository.

After completing the repository analysis, Amazon Q Developer initiates the application creation process. Following the prompt requirements, it requests permission to execute the bash command for creating necessary folders and files.

With the folder structure in place, Amazon Q Developer proceeds to build the complete web application.

In a few minutes, the application is complete. Amazon Q Developer provides the application structure and deployment instructions, which can be converted into a README file upon request in the chat.

During my initial attempt to run the application, I encountered an error. I described it in Spanish using Amazon Q chat.

Amazon Q Developer responded in Spanish and gave me the solutions and code modifications in Spanish! I loved it!

After implementing the suggested fixes, the application ran successfully. Now I can create, modify, and analyze images and videos using Amazon Nova through this newly created interface.

The preceding images showcase my application’s output capabilities. Because I asked to modify the video generation code in Spanish, it gave me the message in Spanish.

Things to know
Chatting in natural languages – Amazon Q Developer IDE supports many languages, including English, Mandarin, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Hindi, and Portuguese. For detailed information, visit the Amazon Q Developer User Guide page.

Today we’re expanding the Amazon Nova family of foundation models announced at AWS re:Invent with the general availability of Amazon Nova Premier, our most capable model for complex tasks and teacher for model distillation.

Nova Premier joins the existing Amazon Nova understanding models available in Amazon Bedrock. Similar to Nova Lite and Pro, Premier can process input text, images, and videos (excluding audio). With its advanced capabilities, Nova Premier excels at complex tasks that require deep understanding of context, multistep planning, and precise execution across multiple tools and data sources. With a context length of one million tokens, Nova Premier can process extremely long documents or large code bases.

With Nova Premier and Amazon Bedrock Model Distillation, you can create highly capable, cost-effective, and low-latency versions of Nova Pro, Lite, and Micro, for your specific needs. For example, we used Nova Premier to distill Nova Pro for complex tool selection and API calling. The distilled Nova Pro had a 20% higher accuracy for API invocations compared to the base model and consistently matched the performance of the teacher, with the speed and cost benefits of Nova Pro.

Amazon Nova Premier benchmark evaluation
We evaluated Nova Premier on a broad range of benchmarks across text intelligence, visual intelligence, and agentic workflows. Nova Premier is the most capable model in the Nova family as measured across 17 benchmarks as shown in the table below.

Nova Premier is also comparable to the best non-reasoning models in the industry and is equal or better on approximately half of these benchmarks when compared to other models in the same intelligence tier. Details of these evaluations are in the technical report.

Nova Premier is also the fastest and the most cost-effective model in Amazon Bedrock for its intelligence tier. For further details and comparison on pricing, please refer to the Bedrock pricing page.

Nova Premier can also be used as a teacher model for distillation, which means you can transfer its advanced capabilities for a specific use case into smaller, faster, and more efficient models like Nova Pro, Micro, and Lite for production deployments.

Using Amazon Nova Premier
To get started with Nova Premier, you first need to request access to the model in the Amazon Bedrock console. Navigate to Model access in the navigation pane, find Nova Premier, and toggle access.

Once you have access, you can use Nova Premier through the Amazon Bedrock Converse API providing in input a list of messages from the user and the assistant. Messages can include text, images, and videos. Here’s an example of a straightforward invocation using the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3):

import boto3
import json

AWS_REGION = "us-east-1"
MODEL_ID = "us.amazon.nova-premier-v1:0"

bedrock_runtime = boto3.client('bedrock-runtime', region_name=AWS_REGION)
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "text": "Explain the differences between vector databases and traditional relational databases for AI applications."
            }
        ]
    }
]

response = bedrock_runtime.converse(
    modelId=MODEL_ID,
    messages=messages
)

response_text = response["output"]["message"]["content"][-1]["text"]

print(response_text)

This example shows how Nova Premier can provide detailed explanations for complex technical questions. But the real power of Premier comes with its ability to handle sophisticated workflows.

Multi-agent collaboration use case
Let’s explore a more complex scenario that showcases how Nova Premier works a multi-agent collaboration architecture for investment research.

The equity research process typically involves multiple stages: identifying relevant data sources for specific investments, retrieving required information from those sources, and synthesizing the data into actionable insights. This process becomes increasingly complex when dealing with different types of financial instruments like stock indices, individual equities, and currencies.

We can build this type of application using multi-agent collaboration in Amazon Bedrock, with Nova Premier powering the supervisor agent that orchestrates the entire workflow. The supervisor agent analyzes the initial query (for example, “What are the emerging trends in renewable energy investments?”), breaks it down into logical steps, determines which specialized subagents to engage, and synthesizes the final response.

For this scenario, I’ve created a system with the following components:

1. A supervisor agent powered by Nova Premier
2. Multiple specialized subagents powered by Nova Pro, each focusing on different financial data sources
3. Tools that connect to financial databases, market analysis tools, and other relevant information sources

When I submit a query about emerging trends in renewable energy investments, the supervisor agent powered by Nova Premier does the following:

1. Analyzes the query to determine the underlying topics and sources to cover
2. Selects the appropriate subagents specific to those topics and sources
3. Each subagent retrieves their relevant economic indicators, technical analysis, and market sentiment data
4. The supervisor agent synthesizes this information into a comprehensive report for review by a financial professional

Utilizing Nova Premier in a multi-agent collaboration architecture such as this streamlines the financial professional’s work and helps them formulate their investment analysis faster. The following video provides a visual description of this scenario.

The key advantage of using Nova Premier for the supervisor role is its accuracy in coordinating complex workflows, so that the right data sources are consulted in the optimal sequence and each subagent receives in input the correct information for their work, resulting in higher quality insights.

Multi-agent collaboration with model distillation
Although Nova Premier provides the highest level of accuracy of its family of models, you might want to optimize latency and cost in production environments. This is where the strength of Nova Premier as a teacher model for distillation becomes interesting. Using Amazon Bedrock Model Distillation, we can customize Nova Micro from the results of Nova Premier for this specific investment research use case.

Unlike traditional fine-tuning that requires human feedback and labeled examples, with model distillation you can generate high-quality training data by having a teacher model produce the desired outputs, streamlining the data acquisition process.

The process to distill a model involves:

1. Generating synthetic training data by capturing input and output from Nova Premier runs across multiple financial instruments
2. Using this data as a reference to train a customized version of Nova Micro through custom fine-tuning tools
3. Evaluating the difference in latency and performance of the customized Micro model
4. Deploying the customized Micro model as the supervisor agent in production

With Amazon Bedrock, you can further streamline the process and use invocation logs for data preparation. To do that, you need to set the model invocation logging on and set up an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket as the destination for the logs.

Customer voices
Some of our customers had early access to Nova Premier. This is what they shared with us:

“Amazon Nova Premier has been outstanding in its ability to execute interactive analysis workflows, while still being faster and nearly half the cost compared to other leading models in our tests,” said Curtis Allen, Senior Staff Engineer at Slack, a company bringing conversations, apps, and customers together in one place.

“Implementing new solutions built on top of Amazon Nova has helped us with our mission of democratizing finance for all,” said Dev Tagare, Head of AI and Data at Robinhood Markets, a company on a mission to democratize finance for all. “We’re particularly excited about the ability to explore new avenues like complex multi-agent collaborations that are not just highly performing but also cost effective and fast. The intelligence of Nova Premier and what it can transfer to the other models like Nova Micro, Nova Lite, and Nova Pro unlocks multi-agent collaboration at a performance, price, and speed that will make it accessible to everyday customers.”

“Accelerating real-world AI deployments—not just prototypes—requires the ability to build models that are specialized for the unique needs of real world applications,” said Henry Ehrenberg, co-founder of Snorkel AI, a technology company that empowers data scientists and developers to quickly turn data into accurate and adaptable AI applications. “We’re excited to see AWS pushing efficient model customization forward with Amazon Bedrock Model Distillation and Amazon Nova Premier. These new model capabilities have the potential to accelerate our enterprise customers in building production AI applications, including Q&A applications with multimodal data and more.”

Things to know

Nova Premier is available in Amazon Bedrock in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon) AWS Regions today via cross-Region inference. With Amazon Bedrock, you only pay for what you use. For more information, visit Amazon Bedrock pricing.
