Our review
Kiro is AWS's spec-driven AI IDE: it generates requirements, design and tasks before writing code, giving a clear structure that reduces rework, and it stays compatible with VS Code.
The process is heavier, the ecosystem is newer, and it can feel slow on small tasks. But for team development that benefits from thinking it through before you build, Kiro's spec-driven approach meaningfully cuts down on drift and rework.
