There is a lot of return on investment from using Amazon Q because the number of developers needed or the number of researchers needed, the number of automation people needed has been drastically reduced.

The benefits of Amazon Q are that you don't need to build any code base at the backend to develop your RAG system or AI LLM-based summarization systems to do question-answer sets on the documents.

The insight capability is specifically the best one because if searching for data, it will take some amount of time and can be really complex manually; with Amazon Q, it was able to give me quick insights in a couple of seconds with summarized results, which is something really amazing.

The best feature of Amazon Q is that it has knowledge of my entire code base, entire repository, and its flows.

What I find best about Amazon Q is that I have used multiple AI tools such as Copilot and earlier Chat GPT, and I think that, apart from the other tools, Amazon Q has an edge because if I want to run any command, such as scanning my whole database and checking schemas, it can generate the command and ask for permission whether I want to execute it.

Once the configuration is complete, users can manage all Kubernetes clusters using Amazon Q prompt, and when checking pods in the Kubernetes cluster, there is no need to use commands as users can simply write a prompt like 'Please show me the Kubernetes pods and namespace and all,' and Amazon Q automatically provides all the required details.

One improvement for Amazon Q is that I use it in Visual Studio, and in Visual Studio, I am not given an option to upload an image in Amazon Q.

Even though we connected with the support team of AWS, they were not able to resolve our issue, so we were disappointed at that moment.

While great for standard tasks, it sometimes struggles with more complex or multi-layered problems in large code bases.

If I start with a prompt in one tab and then try to continue in another, it does not retain that context.

The model is not able to give answers properly with the traffic it is facing, so it needs to be scaled more.

Sometimes feedback is needed immediately. It takes a bit of time because there is a workload.
