It offers natural language-to-code generation, cloud resource provisioning, and deployment guidance specifically optimized for AWS infrastructure. The tool employs a unique, proprietary method of usage metering using "lines of code submitted" rather than standard token counts. The Free Tier allows 1,000 lines of code per month, while the Pro Tier ($19 per user/month) offers 4,000 lines of code per month pooled at the account level. Pro Tier includes advanced features such as enterprise access controls and the ability to customize Amazon Q to specific codebases.
