yet another VS Code fork, like Cursor & Windsurf

"Free," at least for now, in preview. That is a good deal!

Kiro is an agentic IDE that helps you go from prototype to production with spec-driven development, agent hooks, and natural language coding assistance. Build faster with AI-powered features that understand your entire codebase, turn prompts into structured specs, and automate repetitive tasks.

Kiro, meaning "crossroads" in Japanese (きろ), perfectly embodies the intersection where traditional development meets AI powered acceleration.

public preview, is not an AWS service or an "AWS Kiro" - it's an agentic IDE that stands on Code OSS platform with the product brand "Kiro". It's unlike any other Amazon product launch.
