It's a bit biased towards aws services.

If you ask it for a solution to a problem, it will almost always suggest using an aws service, even if there is a better open-source alternative.

I like that it helps me to discover new aws services that i didn't know about. It's a good way to learn more about the aws ecosystem and what is possible.

You have to be careful that you are not just being sold more aws products.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It's a great tool, but remember that it is made by amazon.

It's the perfect ai for aws developers.

I love that i can ask it questions like "what is the best way to set up a lambda function with an s3 trigger?". It gives me answers that are specific to aws best practices.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It is not as good with languages and frameworks that are not related to aws.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are an aws developer, this is the ai assistant you should be using.
