Kiro is Amazon's new AI-powered IDE that brings structure to AI coding through spec-driven development. Unlike "vibe coding" tools that generate code from loose prompts, Kiro transforms natural language into structured requirements, architectural designs backed by best practices, and discrete implementation tasks. The approach ensures AI-generated code matches your specifications and follows consistent patterns. Features include automatic spec generation from prompts, architecture diagrams, task breakdowns mapped to requirements, and verification that code matches specs. Built for professional development teams who need reliability alongside AI speed. Supports importing settings from existing IDEs. Free to get started with quick guides and tutorials including a game-building walkthrough.
