AWS Houston : Accelerate AI agent development with Kiro

Session Abstract
Fresh off the excitement of re:Invent 2025, where Kiro was featured in every keynote, join us for an in-depth technical session on this agentic IDE that helps developers maintain flow while ensuring enterprise-grade code quality.
In this session, you'll learn how Kiro accelerates your journey from idea to production through spec-driven development—a structured approach that transforms rough ideas into clear requirements, thoughtful designs, and actionable implementation plans before a single line of code is written. We'll demonstrate how to delegate and automate development tasks using Kiro's agent hooks, multimodal agent chat, and MCP support, showing you how Kiro's agents challenge you to think beyond the code and work alongside you to solve hard engineering problems with confidence.
You'll also get a first look at Kiro's autonomous agent, a frontier agent that works independently on development tasks while maintaining context and learning from every interaction, plus Powers specialized context and tools that load on-demand, so you get exactly what you need without MCP context overload. Whether you're shipping enterprise software or authoring a Terraform template, this session will show you how Kiro is redefining what it means to code with an AI partner.
You'll also learn on how to accelerate Amazon Connect AI Agent development with Kiro.
Who Should Attend:
This session is for anyone curious about how AI is transforming software development - no full-time coding background required. Whether you're an infrastructure engineer, cloud architect, DevOps practitioner, Contact Center developers or IT pro who writes the occasional script, you'll walk away with a clear understanding of how Kiro's spec-driven, agentic approach helps technical professionals of all backgrounds build and ship software faster with confidence.
Optional - Please bring your laptops if you would like to do hands-on with Kiro.
