Use Amazon Q Developer in the AWS Management Console, AWS Console Mobile Application, AWS Marketing website, AWS Documentation website, and chat channels integrated with AWS Chatbot to ask questions about AWS.

Amazon Q can also help with code that you're writing with the AWS SDKs and AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).
In the AWS Management Console, you can ask Amazon Q about your AWS resources and costs, contact AWS Support directly, and diagnose common console errors.

Authenticating to your Amazon Q Developer Pro subscription
To access Amazon Q at the Free tier, sign in to the AWS Management Console. Any Free tier features are available as long as you have the required permissions.
To access Amazon Q at the Pro tier, you must be a user registered with IAM Identity Center, your IAM Identity Center identity must be subscribed to Amazon Q Developer Pro, and you must sign in to the console with IAM Identity Center.
If you sign in to the AWS console with IAM or federation with IAM, then you will only have access to the Free tier by default. If your organization administrator has enabled identity-aware sessions, then you will be prompted to authenticate with IAM Identity Center when you reach a Free tier limit or attempt to use a feature only available at the Pro tier.
If you sign in to the AWS console with IAM Identity Center, including authenticating through an external identity provider that is connected to IAM Identity Center, you will automatically have access to the Pro tier if your IAM Identity Center identity is subscribed to Amazon Q Developer Pro.
