AWS has introduced Kiro, an "agentic IDE" designed to improve code quality by generating specifications in the form of user stories rather than directly producing code. Built on the open-source Code OSS editor, Kiro leverages generative AI to assist developers by creating production-ready specs and automating code reviews, while also addressing the issues associated with vibe coding. The tool is currently in preview and will be offered at a subscription price of $19.99 per month.
