Fig (Integrated into Amazon Q Developer)

Originally launched as a standalone terminal enhancement suite, Fig was acquired by Amazon Web Services in August 2023 and has since been integrated into the Amazon Q Developer ecosystem (formerly AWS CodeWhisperer). As of 2026, Fig’s core technology powers the intelligent terminal capabilities within Amazon Q, offering sub-millisecond autocomplete for thousands of CLI tools like git, kubectl, and docker. Its architecture utilizes a local-first engine that intercepts terminal keystrokes to provide a floating UI overlay, effectively bringing the intelligence of modern IDEs to the command line. The tool excels in multi-developer environments where shared scripts and standardized terminal workflows are critical. While the standalone 'Fig' app has transitioned, its legacy lives on through the open-source autocomplete specs and its native integration into popular terminal emulators like iTerm2, Hyper, and the VS Code integrated terminal. For enterprise users, the technology now benefits from AWS-grade security, SSO integration, and cloud-synced terminal history, positioning it as the industry standard for command-line acceleration and developer onboarding in 2026.
