AWS introduced an agentic AI assistant embedded in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio to facilitate a conversational, stepwise modernization process for .NET developers. This assistant analyzes source code, generates transformation plans, and executes modernization interactively, allowing developers to review and edit each step without leaving the IDE.
Beyond Visual Studio, AWS enables invoking Transform agents through other coding tools like Kiro, unifying workflows and reducing context switching. This integration preserves project progress and context across the AWS Transform web console and Visual Studio environments, aiming to enhance developer productivity during application modernization.
