Is Amazon Q the Best AI Agent for Your Terminal?

Amazon’s new CLI tool claims to be more than just a coding assistant — it promises to collaborate with you inside your terminal. But how good is it really?

In this video, I test the Amazon Q Developer CLI in real-world dev scenarios — from installing it with a one-liner, to editing an open-source Mario game entirely through the command line. No IDEs. No GUIs. Just your terminal and an AI that can clone, edit, debug, and even redesign your code in seconds.

If you love living in your terminal — or you're curious about agentic AI that thinks like a developer — this might be the most powerful tool you've tried in 2025.
