Kiro

Kiro is an advanced AI-powered Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed to streamline the journey from prototype to production. Built around spec-driven development, Kiro transforms user prompts into clear requirements, robust system designs, and actionable implementation tasks. This structured approach enables developers to manage complexity, collaborate on specifications and architecture, and maintain full control while leveraging AI agents for code generation and task automation.

• Spec-Driven Development: Kiro converts prompts into detailed requirements, system designs, and discrete tasks, ensuring clarity and structure throughout the development process.
• AI Agent Collaboration: Developers can delegate tasks to AI agents that execute autonomously based on event triggers, such as file saves, to generate documentation, write unit tests, or optimize code performance.
• Multimodal and Context-Aware: Kiro supports multimodal chat, smart context management, and steering files, allowing it to understand intent and manage complex features across large codebases efficiently.
• Tool and Data Integration: With native MCP integration, Kiro connects seamlessly to documentation, databases, APIs, and more, providing a unified workspace for all development needs.
• Enterprise-Grade Security: Kiro is built with robust security and privacy features, enabling teams to ship high-quality software with confidence.
• Autopilot Mode: The IDE can autonomously run large tasks, giving users the flexibility to oversee or intervene as needed, especially when executing scripts or commands.
• VS Code Compatibility: Kiro supports Open VSX plugins, themes, and VS Code settings, making it easy for developers to migrate and enhance their workflow in an AI-ready environment.
• Visual Guidance and Code Diffs: Users can drop images of UI designs or architecture diagrams, and Kiro will use them to guide implementation. Real-time code diffs allow for step-by-step review and approval of changes.
• Powered by Leading AI Models: Kiro offers support for state-of-the-art models like Claude Sonnet 3.7 and 4, with more options on the horizon.

Kiro is trusted by engineers worldwide for its transformative agentic experience, mature engineering practices, and ability to accelerate the development lifecycle from concept to deployment. The platform is available for free during its preview phase, making it accessible for teams and individual developers eager to build real-world applications efficiently and securely.
