A frontier coding agent that runs alongside Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor
Run Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Reason agents on the same repository without conflicts, so each tool handles what it does best.
Start an agent session from a script, CI job, or your own product, then poll or stream the result through a REST endpoint.
Give each Reason agent a name and team, and watch it work in a shared workspace alongside your human teammates.
Mention Reason in a Slack thread and get back a pull request, presentation, or answer once the task is finished.
A spec-driven AI IDE and agent platform that plans, builds, reviews, and verifies real engineering work.
You describe intent and context first; Kiro captures requirements and design as specifications, then verifies the finished implementation against them.
Kiro Crew watches your backlog, codebase, or CI, triages new work, delegates to specialized bots, and returns results for your review.
Long tasks split into checked steps so agents cannot shortcut a failed test, and review agents inspect diffs before a human approves a merge.
Use the IDE, mobile, or web, run headless in CI/CD with the CLI, or trigger Kiro from Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub, and GitLab.
Provides a polished AI-first code editor experience, but lacks Kiro's native AWS spec-driven planning workflows.
