This doesn’t even come close to CodeCompanion[1], which doesn’t require any new LSP config/dependencies or filetype limitations.

There is no ability to share the current buffer(s) for context, no tool support. This seems like a checkbox release. You’re better off using CodeCompanion with Amazon Bedrock, which includes the added benefit of sovereignty.

CodeCompanion doesn’t have tab completion right? I love Neovim but Cursor’s tab completion is just next level and I haven’t found any nvim plugin that comes close to it.

Can't wait for my code being used as training data for Amazon to make a profit

I mean no one's forcing you to use Amazon's coding assistant if you hate Amazon. There are plenty of alternatives, both hosted and local, that you can use instead. Not to mention coding without an AI assistant, which is always available.

Isn’t that only the case for the free tier, which is only fair?

I mostly use neovim for editing files remotely and have come to miss AI Autocomplete but was pleasantly surprised to find my preferred AI IDE Tool also maintains a Neovim plugin [1]. Not as many features as its VS Code and Intellij/Rider plugins, but its core autocomplete is a major productivity win.

Tried Q Developer but it’s just not keeping pace with other competitive offerings.

It’s like Amazon’s Chime to everyone else’s Zoom. It works, but unless you have no other option it’s not clear why I’d choose to use it.

Is it just me or the new Amazon/AWS is giving off some serious early-Satya Nadella Microsoft vibes. Kiro, Q....

Think back to when they (MSOFT) were putting out tools like TypeScript, WSL, and VS Code. It looks like Amazon is doing something similar now, building cool tech for developers without plastering the AWS brand all over it.

It is literally called amazonq.nvim and it makes it so some Amazon service is usable with NeoVIM.

Your thesis is valid until "without plastering the AWS brand all over it." Lol
