Kiro

Spec-driven development is the core idea behind Kiro, an AI IDE and code assistant that turns a prompt into structured work before it writes code.

Kiro is built for developers who want AI coding to follow engineering practice from prototype to production, not just produce quick snippets.

Agent hooks automate repeated tasks, and MCP connects Kiro to outside tools and data sources.

An autopilot mode handles large tasks while you keep control, and diffs let you review every change before it lands.

Kiro is compatible with the VS Code ecosystem, so the editor should feel familiar.

It accepts images as input for design guidance and can be configured to match project-specific coding standards and workflows.

The free tier is limited to 50 agent interactions per month, which is enough to try the spec-driven workflow but not to rely on daily.

Paid plans have been marked as coming soon, so expect pricing to change.
