Thanks for the conversation, @toddbishop. Coming back to lead @awscloud was an incredible opportunity. I’m so proud of the team, all the capabilities we developed for customers, and the business milestones achieved. AWS is better positioned than anyone to expand possibilities for customers going forward. Leaving things in good hands with Matt Garman and the team. https://t.co/rlOxUNuGZ5

[Adam Selipsky @aselipsky]

After almost 15 combined years at AWS, I am going to be moving on. It has been a true privilege to help lead this business from pre-revenue to $100B annualized revenue. I’m humbled by the many customers who have said they wouldn’t be what they are without AWS, thankful to our many partners, and grateful to my passionate and innovative teammates. AWS will be in great hands with Matt and the incredible leadership team. I’m looking forward to taking some time off with family, while taking the opportunity to think about my next adventure!

Someone celebrated a big birthday over the weekend. Our family’s beloved cat, Pepper, turned 20! 🎉 We marked the occasion by giving him a cat art book, and taking a trip down memory lane. Can’t believe it’s been two decades since we brought Pepper home from the shelter. And he’s still going strong!

[Adam Selipsky @aselipsky]

Excited to see @Forbes highlight the first cohort of startups in our new Compute for Climate Fellowship. This program provides funding and cloud resources to help founders who are using high performance computing and #GenerativeAI to address #ClimateChange. We are proud to support innovators like @RealtaFusion, a pioneering startup developing compact fusion energy systems to decarbonize industrial heat and power. With #AWS cloud credits and access to interconnected CPUs/GPUs, Realta can run crucial simulations at unprecedented speed—work that would require supercomputing resources that are typically limited and have long waitlists. https://t.co/ICj516ZZyb

I speak with @AWScloud CEO @ASelipsky about @Amazon's quarterly results, #cloud growth, #AI strategy, Amazon Q, and how $AMZN plans to extend its enterprise cloud lead in the artificial intelligence era. https://t.co/fFPYUz3qqi

[Andy Jassy @ajassy]

When we started AWS, we looked at the undesirable situation of developers spending 70% of their time on the undifferentiated muck of managing infrastructure (vs only 30% on what differentiated their customer experiences) and aimed to flip that equation on its head. It’s made a pretty big difference in innovation and developer productivity.

Roughly 18 years later, we’re trying to solve another 70-30-like misalignment for developers, where developers are telling us that they’re spending roughly 70% of their time on repetitive and tedious tasks and code.

Today, we’re launching the general availability of Amazon Q, the world’s most capable GenAI-powered assistant for accelerating software development and leveraging companies’ internal data—and that aims to remove much of the muck of repetitive and tedious coding and data tasks for developers and employees at large.

On the software development side, Q doesn’t just generate code, it also tests code, debugs coding conflicts, and transforms code from one form to another (today, developers can save months using Q to move from older versions of Java to newer, more secure and capable ones; in the near future, Q will help developers transform their .net code as well). Q Agents does multi-step planning and reasoning to allow developers to string together multiple requests and have Q implement them.

On the internal data side, most companies have voluminous troves of internally relevant data that resides in wikis, intranet pages, Salesforce, storage repositories like Amazon S3, and a bevy of other data stores and SaaS apps that are hard to access. It makes answering straightforward questions about company policies, products, business results, code, people, and many other topics hard and frustrating. Q makes this much simpler. You can point Q at all of your enterprise data repositories, and it’ll search all this data, summarize logically, analyze trends, and engage in dialog with customers about it.

We also introduced today a powerful new capability called Q Apps, which lets employees describe, in natural language, what apps they want to build on top of this internal data, and Q Apps will quickly generate that app. This is going to make it *so* much easier for internal teams to build useful apps from their own data.
Customers are gravitating to Q, and we already see companies like Brightcove, British Telecom, Datadog, GitLab, GoDaddy, National Australia Bank, NCS, Netsmart, Slalom, Smartsheet, Sun Life, Tata Consultancy Services, Toyota, and Wiz using Q. And, we’ve only been in beta til today.

Very excited about how Q will change what’s possible for our customers, and being a part of helping them innovate more quickly. https://t.co/Bcf7k7huOX

[Adam Selipsky @aselipsky]

🚀 Today, we are thrilled to share that Amazon Q is now generally available.
◼Amazon Q is the most capable generative AI-powered assistant for accelerating software development and leveraging companies’ internal data. It eliminates tedious work for developers and employees across organizations.
◼Q helps to test, debug and write code, and has the highest reported code acceptance rates in the industry, for assistants that perform multi-line code suggestions. @BTGroup recently reported they accepted 37% of Q’s code suggestions and National Australia Bank reported a 50% acceptance rate.
◼Amazon Q Developer Agents can autonomously perform a range of tasks—everything from implementing features, documenting, and refactoring code, to performing software upgrades. Developers can ask Amazon Q to implement an application feature, and the agent will analyze their existing application code and generate a step-by-step implementation plan.
◼Amazon Q's capabilities extend beyond coding. It also allows employees to easily get insight from their company's internal data that is spread across multiple documents, systems, and applications. Q connects all these siloed sources and can answer questions, provide summaries, analyze trends, and generate content.
◼We're also introducing Q Apps, a powerful new way for anyone to create generative AI apps based on their organization's data—no prior coding experience required. Simply describe the app you need in natural language, and Q Apps will build it for you. This unlocks endless possibilities for teams to automate workflows and daily tasks.
Customers across industries are using Amazon Q to transform the way they work. I'm incredibly excited to see what Q can do for you. https://t.co/GehdLFroGH
