Kiro is an AI-powered agentic software engineering platform designed to help developers and engineering teams build applications using a specification-first approach. Instead of generating code directly from prompts, Kiro transforms user requirements into structured specifications, architectural designs, and sequenced development tasks. By emphasizing spec-driven development, it helps teams plan, implement, and maintain software projects with greater clarity, consistency, and collaboration.
