A new name! Amazon Q Developer in the console is now the AWS assistant

Hi everyone, it's Shii-chan! Today's news is a rename.

What was announced?

According to AWS What's New, Amazon Q Developer in the AWS Management Console and Console Mobile Apps is now called the AWS assistant.

On these surfaces it was known as Amazon Q Developer, giving personalized, account-aware guidance and actions.

The capabilities are the same, but the name now says what the product does. AWS says it simplifies how you build, operate, and optimize on AWS.

Currently offered for free
Existing Amazon Q Developer Pro subscribers automatically keep their Pro Tier capabilities under the AWS assistant
Available globally

This is a rename, not a new feature. If your docs or runbooks call the in-console assistant "Amazon Q Developer", they may need updating.

If you use the console assistant, you only need to learn the new name!
