Boya Uday Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Ai Research Enthusiast And Developer at ADP
Daily AI assistance has transformed debugging, automation, and rapid project delivery
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. Also, this is one part of it. The second part is the context window of Amazon Q is very less compared to other GenAI tools. The moment I would be in a deep research or deep development or deep debugging mode in Amazon Q, the moment I hit the context length of the window, it would ask me to clear the complete context, and it would lose the complete context of the chat that I had previously. The two major pain points are that I have Amazon Q in Visual Studio, but I am not given an option to upload an image as a reference in Amazon Q. The second part is the context window is so limited. The moment I deep dive into some discussion in terms of development or debugging or automation, I hit a context length of the window, and the moment I hit it, it would lose the complete context. It has an option of summarizing the complete context and having it as a memory, but it would not be sufficient because I would have given a lot of details in the chat by that time. I have mentioned the two points earlier, so those are the only two points that I have in mind for improvements needed for Amazon Q.
