Amazon has launched Kiro, a new AI software development tool that uses autonomous agents to generate and maintain project plans, specs, and code documentation.

Amazon Web Services on Monday released Kiro, a program that allows developers to write code with help from artificial intelligence.

Amazon said Kiro goes beyond specs and hooks for developers and can be expanded with the Model Context Protocol, an open-source method for connecting AI agents to external tools. This provides developers with an extensive library of open-source AI tools they can connect to increase Kiro’s coding potential.
