The docs state at https://kiro.dev/docs/reference/privacy-and-security/#servic... that "Kiro is an AWS application that works as a standalone agentic IDE."
But nowhere on the landing page or other pages it states that this is an Amazon product.
What is going on?
Edit: I see that @nathanpeck is the "author" and he works for Amazon, why are they trying to hide that fact?

Is this being powered by any specific model? >overage charges for agentic interactions will be $0.04 per interaction, and if enabled, will begin consuming overages once your included amounts are used (1,000 interactions for Pro tier, 3,000 for Pro+ tier). Limits are applied at the user level. For example, if you are a Pro tier customer who uses 1,200 requests, your bill would show an overage charge of $8 (200 × $0.04…
There is a model picker that currently allows you to switch between Claude Sonnet 4.0 and Claude Sonnet 3.7 And yes, Kiro is agentic, so it can (and often does) execute a long running multi-turn workflow in response to your interactions, however, the billing model is based on your manual interaction that kicks off the workflow (via chat, spec, or hook), even if that agent workflow takes many turns for Kiro to complet…
Is this an Amazon product? When I click on "Legal" at the bottom of the page, I'm sent to AWS. The docs state at https://kiro.dev/docs/reference/privacy-and-security/#servic... that "Kiro is an AWS application that works as a standalone agentic IDE."

Here my problem with this: I don't want to be jumping an editor/IDE every 6 months, learning new key bindings and even more importantly, getting used to a completely new look. In a space that moves as quickly as "AI" does, it is inevitable that a better and cheaper solution will pop up at some point. We kinda already see it with Cursor and Windsurf. I guess Claude Code is all the rage now and I personally think CLI/T…
They're all based vscode, so the switching costs are fairly minimal? It'll get worse over time as they diverge, but at the moment they're all fairly similar AFAICT. It's starting to become noticeable that Cursor isn't picking up VSCode enhancements and fixes, but it's still quite minor.
If these re-skinned vscode IDEs have any good ideas I'm sure Microsoft will steal them anyway.
Hello folks! I've been working on Kiro for nearly a year now. Happy to chat about some of the things that make it unique in the IDE space. We've added a few powerful things that I think make it a bit different from other similar AI editors. In specific, I'm really proud of "spec driven development", which is based on the internal processes that software development teams at Amazon use to build very large technical pr…
I integrated[1] the recently released Apple Container (instead of shell) to run codes generated by Kiro. It works great!

I don't know if this is feedback for Kiro per se or more feedback for this category of applications as a whole, but I've personally noticed that the biggest barrier holding me back from giving an earnest look at new coding agents are the custom rules I've set up w/ my existing agents. I have extensively used Copilot, Continue, Cursor, Cline, Aider, Roo Code, and Claude Code. I've just finished porting my rules over t…
There should be a standard rule format in a standard place, like ~/.config/llms/rules.md

If this integrated with AWS for billing, usage, and IAM purposes it would be a no brainer to have my team trying this out today.
You can do that! There is an AWS IAM Identity Center option for login as well: https://kiro.dev/docs/reference/auth-methods/#aws-iam-identi... We really need to add some more step by step docs for setting this up, but it's very similar to the Amazon Q Developer integration with AWS IAM Identity Center if you are familiar with that: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/sec...
Important details from the FAQ, emphasis mine: > For users who access Kiro with Pro or Pro+ tiers once they are available, your content is not used to train any underlying foundation models (FMs). AWS might collect and use client-side telemetry and usage metrics for service improvement purposes. You can opt out of this data collection by adjusting your settings in the IDE. For the Kiro Free tier and during preview, y…
1. Open Settings in Kiro.
2. Switch to the User sub-tab.
3. Choose Application, and from the drop-down choose Telemetry and Content.
4. In the Telemetry and Content drop-down field, select Disabled to disable all product telemetry and user data collection.

MCP is great, but it adds a lot of extra latency. The MCP servers themselves will stuff your context full of tool details, taking up valuable tokens that could be spent on code context. Then at runtime the LLM has to decide to call a tool, the tool call has to come back to your machine, the data is gathered and sent back to the LLM, then the LLM can act on that data. Multiply this by however many rounds of tool use t…
I feel what you say is true only for auto-complete, which is no longer the ideal workflow for agentic coding. Otherwise the IDE doesn't know what it should include or not in the context, and you need an AI model to determine that. What people do to avoid what you discussed, is multi-agents. The main agent can build up context, plan, than delegate execution to other agents, etc. In my opinion, the benefit of the IDE i…
- cmd-t fuzzy finding files of cmd-p finding symbols to open the various files that are relevant
- selecting a few lines in each file using fast IDE shortcuts to move and add
- drag and drop an image or other json files into prompt
- not leave the editor im already working on
Not to mention:
- viewing the agents edits as a diff in the editor and all the benefits of easily switching between tabs and one click rejecting parts etc
- seeing the sidebar of the agents thoughts and progress async alongside the code as I keep looking at things
- pausing the agent and reversing back steps visually with the sidebar
- not having to reconfig or setup my entire dev environment for some CLI - for example the biome v2 lsp just works since it’s already working in code which has the best support for these things
And really the list of reasons an editor is far better just never ends. Claude is ok, but I’m way way faster with Cursor when I do need AI.
