About
Kiro is an agentic development environment built and operated by a team within Amazon Web Services (AWS), launched in July 2025. It pioneered spec-driven development, where an AI agent converts a natural language prompt into structured requirements, a design document, and an implementation task list before writing code. Built on Code OSS (the VS Code open-source base), Kiro is powered by Amazon Bedrock and supports most popular programming languages. Key features include agent hooks that delegate background tasks such as updating documentation, generating unit tests, and optimizing code for performance. Kiro is positioned as a full software development lifecycle collaborator, moving beyond simple code generation to agentic engineering from prototype to production. Available free during preview as of launch.
