AWS Kiro

By Amazon Web Services · Spec-driven AI automation tool · aws.amazon.com

AWS Kiro is an AI-driven coding tool that uses a spec-driven development approach to automate and accelerate full-stack software development. It integrates deeply with AWS services and enables developers to go from natural language prompts to production-ready features with automated documentation, testing, and deployment.

From the Maintainer

I implement AWS Kiro for clients.

If you want AWS Kiro built into your business or your agency's stack — wired into your existing tools, with a real workflow on top — that's the consulting work. Direct conversation, no junior team, senior execution.
