Amazon is working on a secret project called “Kiro,” a new tool that uses AI agents to optimize software coding
The software development application uses AI agents to analyze user queries and available data, generating code in near real-time.

According to Business Insider, citing an internal Amazon document, Kiro is an AI application that uses artificial intelligence agents to analyze user queries and generate code in near real-time. It can be customized for different needs, integrated with both internal and third-party agents, and used with knowledge bases, extensions, and themes.
Kiro Features
- Kiro will have a web and desktop application that can be configured to work with its own and third-party AI agents.
- The tool will also use knowledge bases, extensions, and themes to improve developer productivity.
- Kiro's interface will be multimodal, allowing developers to input not only text, but also visual diagrams and other contextual information.
- Kiro is expected to be able to automatically generate technical documentation, detect potential problems, and suggest code optimizations.
- Amazon says Kiro is supposed to “democratize” software creation by minimizing code writing time and maximizing productivity.
Unlike AWS’s existing AI assistant called Amazon Q, Kiro is likely to be a broader application that will use multiple AI agents to automate various aspects of development. Internal documents indicate that Amazon was considering launching Kiro in late June, but that timeline could change.
AI coding assistants are software tools that use artificial intelligence to help developers write, understand, and optimize code. They can offer code completion, detect errors, generate code snippets based on text queries, explain complex code, and even help create technical documentation.
Recently, SharksCode CTO Igor Morgunov, in a conversation with dev.ua, told what role AI plays in the daily work of programmers.
