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.
A general-purpose AI agent that executes tasks, not just answers them
Give the agent a goal and it plans the steps, chooses tools, and works through the task in a cloud environment without constant supervision.
Produces finished artifacts such as slide decks, functional websites, small games, and formatted documents rather than raw text.
Runs broad, multi-source investigations and compiles the findings into a structured report.
Generates images, video, and music as part of a larger task or as standalone outputs.
Provides powerful reasoning agents and deep research, but lacks Manus's specialized continuous cloud workspace execution.

Features advanced computer use and interactive artifacts, but operates primarily as a chat assistant rather than a dedicated autonomous agent platform.

Executes tasks using cloud virtual Linux machines, but focuses more on personal desktop automation than complex multi-app research.
Provides a polished AI-first code editor experience, but lacks Kiro's native AWS spec-driven planning workflows.
