About
Kiro is an agent-first IDE built on VS Code and powered by Claude via Amazon Bedrock. Its spec-driven workflow turns natural language descriptions into executable specifications before writing a single line of code, keeping intent and implementation aligned throughout a project. Agent hooks fire automatically on file-save events, running AI tasks in the background without interrupting the developer's flow. Multimodal input lets teams paste UI screenshots or architecture diagrams directly into the chat. Amazon Kiro reached general availability in March 2026 after a startup-only beta, with pricing that scales from a generous free tier to a $200/month Power plan.
