Introducing Kiro – An AI IDE That Thinks Like a Developer - DEV Community

Amazon releases Kiro, a new Agentic IDE that can handle 'specs' and architecture diagrams to tackle more complex tasks.

Free during the preview phase: https://kiro.dev/downloads/, where you can see two models.

This is yet another closed-source fork of VS Code. It has two modes: Vibe coding and Planning.

Vibe Coding (Vibe Chat & Build): Explore ideas and iterate when discovering requirements. First Vibe Chat, then build.

Planning (Plan & Build): Create detailed plans first, then build. Create requirements and design before starting to code.
