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.

AI that carries software from requirements and code to tested, deployable release
Extracts, structures and traces requirements from vague legacy documentation, and keeps a clear line from requirement to test plan.
An IDE-based AI assistant that generates code and documentation, breaks down complex logic and now includes an autonomous Agent Mode that plans, seeks approval and executes.
Automates the test lifecycle from requirements through feature-file generation to reporting, targeting UI, API and mobile coverage.
Agent Mode builds a TODO list, waits for the developer to approve the plan, then runs the task end to end with undo support and direct edits in Plan Mode.
