Move beyond AI coding to agentic engineering

As a startup co-founder and CTO, time is the most important resource. Kiro justifies the use of my time for developing our business critical assets in-house.

In my role designing AWS Cloud and AI solutions with Terraform and Python, spec-driven development with Kiro has brought code relevancy and quality to a whole new level. We’ve accelerated feature development dramatically, reducing time to customer value from weeks to days. We are excited to welcome Kiro as our newest team member.

Kiro is a strong ally for startups. It naturally turns overlooked docs and specs into robust assets, making growth smoother and future scaling more effective.

I use Kiro for everything - drafting new Terraform modules, tweaking container setups, even writing down random AI ideas at 2 am. But more than anything, it supports how I learn. I’m endlessly curious, and Kiro helps me stay in that learning loop—tinkering, breaking things, fixing them, and then allowing me to share what I learn back with the community.

I’ve been blown away by Kiro’s capabilities. The agentic experience is really transformative. From the multimodal inputs that understand context to the complete lifecycle control within the IDE, it feels like I’m working with a senior developer.

Most tools are great at generating code, but Kiro gives structure to the chaos before you write a single line.

In roughly two days, I built a secure file sharing application from scratch. By simply sharing my requirements with Kiro, I was able to create a fully secure application that incorporates encryption and various security coding practices—no additional prompts needed.

I often forget to add unit tests, or update documentation when pushing changes, but with Kiro I can create a hook and it will automatically run those tasks in the background for me, never having to think twice.

As an open source developer, I typically don’t build games, but last night I was able to create one using Kiro. I didn’t have to think too hard about implementation since Kiro handled the logic and enabled me to write code quickly and accurately.

Kiro lowers the barrier to entry, whether that be, you don’t even know how to code, you’re new to coding, or you’re like me and you’re just learning a new tech stack. If something doesn’t make sense to you, or you feel like you are asking a silly question, ask Kiro anyway!

Kiro comes equipped with all the best practices that I would put in my specs, and builds me the application I want, faster.

Thanks to Kiro’s spec-driven development, I was able to go from concept to working prototype in a single weekend.

In just four lines into a spec, Kiro was able to write user stories like a product manager and capture so many details that I didn’t even need to mention, saving me several days of work.

Kiro isn’t just speeding up my work – it’s making me write better code, think more systematically about architecture, and deliver higher quality results while automated workflows happen seamlessly in the background.

Kiro is just more than code. Aside from just listening to prompts and doing things, it can actually work on tasks based on predefined triggers, making the development experience more efficient.
