Amazon has launched Kiro, a new AI software development tool that uses autonomous agents to generate and maintain project plans, specs, and code documentation.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has unveiled Kiro, an IDE which uses AI agents to streamline the development process. Available now in preview, Kiro looks to cut down on potential issues with " vibe coding ", the process where agents are being asked to create and build software with minimal human interaction.

As AI coding becomes the new normal, AWS debuts a tool to formalize the process and add structure. Will software engineers soon be out of a job?
