Kiro, meaning “crossroads” in Japanese, is a new agentic IDE launched in public preview, marking a breakthrough in developer productivity. Built on the Code OSS platform, Kiro combines AI-powered development acceleration with a cloud-agnostic, technology-flexible approach.
It supports Claude Sonnet 4.0 and 3.7 for agentic AIOps and offers seamless sign-in options, including Google, GitHub, Builder ID, and AWS SSO, without requiring an AWS or Amazon account. While Kiro integrates well with AWS, it works across any stack or provider. Thanks to the AWS Community Builders Program, early testers now highlight how Kiro transforms the way software is developed.
