What the heck is Bedrock Engineer?
Ever felt like AI dev assistants are just fancy autocompletes?
Have u tried stuff like Cline or Rocode and thought💭 , yeah it’s dope, however… it could do lil more?🤨
Well, say hello to Bedrock Engineer—your AI powered coding comrade😮💨 that doesn’t just suggest code but helps you build stuff 👨🏭👩🏭
Unlike those IDE-locked assistants (looking at you, Cline 👀), Bedrock Engineer runs as a standalone app, that means real-time diagramming, live previews, AI-generated workflows, and even AWS integration, fundamentally, a co-pilot that doesn’t just suggest fixes, it works with/for you ✨
How it beats the competition?
| Feature | Bedrock Engineer | Cline | Rocode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standalone App | ✅ | ❌ (Stuck in IDE) | ✅ |
| Code Generation | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Web Search | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Custom AI Agents | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| File Operations | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Command Execution | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| AWS Integration | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
Why should you care? Let me share 6+1 reasons 😅
1. Custom AI Agents that work in your way, mate
Tired of generic responses? build your own AI.
- Want direct to the point, no BS senior dev mentor?
- Need an AI product designer?
- Prefer an AI co-founder that cracks jokes and drops memes?
Within Bedrock Engineer the answer for all these questions is:
You'll control the behavior, knowledge, permissions, and tools. No more one-size-fits-all AI, this could be an assistant that adapts to you.
2. Powered by Amazon Bedrock: AI without the nonsense
Most AI assistants rely on a single model (cough OpenAI), but Bedrock Engineer taps into Amazon Bedrock, so you can pick your poison:
- Amazon Titan (AWS)
- Claude 3.5 (Anthropic)
- Meta Llama (for the AI rebels)
It even connects to the Bedrock Knowledge Base, meaning your AI can pull data from your documents, past projects, or even your own coding style.
3. AI-Powered file management (less Clicking, more Coding)
Stop wasting time clicking through folders. Bedrock Engineer:
- Creates, edits, and organizes files/folders inside the app.
- Generates project structures automatically.
- Reads and writes multiple files at once.
- Displays your file tree visually.
Basically, a project manager AI that doesn’t bug you about deadlines.
4. Run commands & automate workflows
Generating code is just half the job, the other half is executing it, so, with Bedrock Engineer, you can run shell commands straight from the AI chat, including:
- Deploys,
- Tests,
- Automated builds,
- Database queries—without leaving the app.
And about that security? Only pre-approved commands run, forget about accidental system nukes.
5. Live code generation with visual previews (cuz, devs love to see Stuff Too)
Ever wished ChatGPT showed you the UI it was generating? Now it does.
Bedrock Engineer’s Site Generator lets you:
- Create projects in React, Vue, Svelte, or plain JS.
- Choose presets like Tailwind, Material UI, or inline styles.
- Preview code before running it.
And yes, you can train the AI on your design system via the Knowledge Base
Your code, your standards
6. AWS Step Functions generator (forget JSON headaches)
If you work with AWS Step Functions, say goodbye to writing JSON manually.
Bedrock Engineer:
- Generates ASL (Step Functions Language) automatically.
- Displays workflows visually in real-time.
- Allows interactive editing & previews.
Just describe what you need, and it builds the Step Function for you.
7. Real Security for AI in Your Dev Workflow
AI tools that handle files and run commands need serious security. With Bedrock Engineer:
- Controlled permissions: The AI only accesses explicitly allowed files & folders.
- Safe execution: Commands run in an isolated environment, so no surprise system changes.
- AWS IAM integration: Fine-grained control over keys & permissions using IAM policies.
- Complete audit logs: Every command, file edit, and automation is logged for full transparency.
Bedrock Engineer is for devs who want AI without security headaches.
Is it worth it?
If your AI assistant is just an autocomplete, you’re wasting time. Bedrock Engineer is a real AI dev tool that:
- Generates and runs code.
- Manages projects & files.
- Fetches knowledge & answers from your docs.
- Builds workflows and interfaces.
And the best part? It’s open-source.
