For software development teams, one of the most tedious (but also the most crucial) tasks is to update the basic software. This is not the work of new features and doesn't make you feel like you're pushing the experience forward. AmazonQ is our GenAI software development assistant, which is trying to bring a little dawn to these onerous tasks.

Among them, AmazonQ code conversion cananalyze existing code, make modification suggestions and implement modifications. It can update software package dependencies, modify outdated and inefficient code, and integrate security practices.
