Kiro is an agentic IDE, CLI, and web interface that helps developers and teams go from prototype to production using spec-driven development. It turns prompts into requirements, architectural designs, and sequenced tasks, then implements them with parallel agents. Kiro validates code correctness with property-based tests and automated reasoning to catch issues unit tests miss, and integrates with tools like Figma and Terraform. It offers agent hooks for automation, custom agents, and enterprise-grade security and governance controls.
