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…

They can try to market grab with low %, but will find themselves in the boat as Cursor and eventually be forced to raise their prices. Except their market grab will be significantly less effective because they're not a stand-out product. Cursor was.

To be clear, we have no intent to hide that Kiro is from Amazon / AWS, that's why you'll see Matt Garman, for example, posting about Kiro: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7350558...
However, the long term goal is for Kiro to have it's own unique identity outside of AWS, backed by Amazon / AWS, but more friendly to folks who aren't all in on AWS. I'll admit that AWS hasn't been known in recent years for having the best new user or best developer experience. Kiro is making a fresh start from an outsider perspective of what's possible, not just what's the AWS tradition. So, for example, you can use Kiro without ever having an AWS account. That makes it somewhat unique, and we aim to keep it that way for now.

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…
It would sure be nice to have some standardized conventions around this. AGENTS.md etc. It seems insane to have to have multiple files/rules for essentially the same goals just for different tools.
Creating a MCP server that all the agents are configured to retrieve the rules from?

Thanks for the report! I'll keep an eye on it. So far we aren't seeing any other reported issues, so it's possible that a browser extension, or something else in your setup is messing with the SSO flow. Redirect back to localhost:3128 is normal, that's where Kiro is watching for a callback, but the missing state is not normal. Something may have stripped the info out of the callback before it occurred, which is why I…
Same error as the others. Looks like auth is successful in popup window: "You can close this window". Then in Kiro I see "There was an error signing you in. Please try again.". FWIW, I've tried GitHub & Google, in different browsers, on different networks.
I love all of this experimentation in how to effectively use AIs to co-create output with human steering. This pattern, of the human human focusing on the high-level and the AI focusing on the low level feels like a big win. In some sense, we are starting with a very high-level and gradually refining the idea to a lower and lower levels of detail. It is structured hierarchical thinking. Right now we are at 3 levels:…
If we take it far enough, we could end up with a well structured syntax with a defined vocabulary for specifying what the computer should do that is rigorously followed in the implemented code. You could think of it as some kind of a ... language for .... programming the computer. Mind blowing.

Ah, thanks for the pricing link. I saw 'Kiro is free to use during preview' or similar and assumed pricing is hidden. At $39/month, is 3000 interactions a high limit? I use Claude Code on the $30 plan (I think), and routinely hit limits. I'm not ready to jump to the next tier, though. I think it's $200/month, and the NGO I work for isn't prepared to throw that kind of cash at developers (I'm second-rate here; the sci…
CC have $20 and $100 and a $200 tiers

It's hard to directly compare, but 3000 interactions should be very, very high. Think of each of these 3000 interactions as you supplying a prompt that potentially runs for 3-5 minutes of Kiro iterating away on writing code. With appropriately sized prompts (most likely aided by spec mode), you could write a ridiculous amount of code. For reference 3000 interactions * assumed 3 mins of AI work per interaction / 60 mi…
It’s a bit more than I pay in CAD, but I’d pay quite a bit more just to stop hitting the limits I have with Claude, even if the rest of the service was identical. It’s a pain. My usage is also very bursty so I spend several days getting no usage, then repeatedly hit limits while I brainstorm and spec things out.
I’m thinking out loud here in case it’s useful feedback. It seems like a great pricing schemes for my use case.

The original submission to HN stated that it was from Amazon / AWS in the title of the submission, however that has since been edited by a moderator to match the title of the blogpost, which does not mention Amazon / AWS.
