Amazon Web Services (AWS) is developing an AI-assisted coding service, according to sources cited by The Information. This new service aims to offer features similar to those of Anysphere's Cursor, a popular AI coding tool, and is intended to go beyond the capabilities of AWS's current coding assistant, Amazon Q Developer. The development of this service underscores the growing interest in AI-assisted coding among major tech companies. Microsoft-backed OpenAI is also mentioned as a player in this space, highlighting the competitive landscape in AI coding tools.
