Kiro

“Kiro is the most production-ready process I've seen so far. Kiro's innovation is not in the IDE or with a better LLM, it's the built in project management portion that is "spec-first ". So, you start out telling Kiro what you want to build. I want to build this amazing app that does all of this stuff (blah blah blah)....and I want it to be usable by people with accessibility needs. It then breaks this into a Requirements document that you collaborate on. It takes your prompt ramblings about what”

“If you ship today’s AI agent tech straight into production with real permissions and no guardrails, you’re basically deploying an eager intern with root access and zero impulse control. Agents hallucinate, they misinterpret goals, they take irreversible actions, and they fail in weird edge cases you won’t catch until it’s 3am and prod is on fire. If your plan is “we’ll just monitor it,” congrats, you reinvented incident response as a product feature.”

“Amazon's Kiro agent inherited elevated permissions, bypassed two-person approval, and deleted a production environment — 13-hour AWS outage. Amazon called it "a coincidence that AI tools were involved." That's one of ten. Replit's agent fabricated 4,000 fake records then deleted the real database. Cursor's agent deleted 70 files after the developer typed "DO NOT RUN ANYTHING." Claude Cowork wiped 15 years of family photos. Every incident sourced — Financial Times, GitHub issues, company statemen”

“The confirmation-bias, plagarism, hallucination machine destroying production environments? It could never ...”

“Finally! I use an average of 4-5k credits a month and having this tier is a blessing!!”

“Trying to pay for this service is a nightmare. I have tried multiple valid, working international cards that work perfectly everywhere else. Kiro's payment gateway constantly rejects them with zero explanation. If a company can't even fix their billing system to take customers' money, I can't trust them with my development workflow. Maybe you should ask your own AI to fix this billing bug. Terrible onboarding experience. Fix your payment processor.”

“Paid $20.41 for Kiro Pro+ on March 17 for a two-week Pro+ subscription. A few days later my account got hit with a suspension notice out of nowhere — "User ID temporarily suspended as a security precaution," no warning, no reason given. I'd been a paying customer for less than a week at that point. Opened an AWS support case on March 21 (#177410938500826). They asked for info on the 24th, I sent everything back the same day. Then nothing. Radio silence for weeks. On April 1, while I was still ”

“i upgrade my kiro plan month of 23th affter 7 to 8 days my kiro plan has been canceled even one month is not complete no any refund and also customar support is not good not reply my emails ”

“This is the first big company to have an agenic IDE... It's a great start!.. plus being built on vscode you have the ability to still use claude code terminal and cline code/open router. It's nice to have an agentic IDE that's not run by a small company. I am sure we'll still have drama, but it won't be like windsurf”

“An AI agent inheriting elevated permissions and bypassing two-person approval is exactly the failure mode everyone warned about. The blast radius of a misconfigured agent is orders of magnitude larger than a misconfigured human because it moves faster and doesn't hesitate.”

“I first installed Kiro shortly after it released and I used it for about a month within the free trial. Recently I got an email saying I got free 1k credits to spend in Kiro, so after a few months I once again opened Kiro. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. Most issues that were there before are still there now and it seems like they havent added a single new feature throughout the past few months unlike for example Cursor, which evolves almost every day. My main issues with Kiro: The perfor”

“Amazon just released their Kiro IDE like two hours ago which feels like Cursor but the main difference is its designed to bring structure to vibe-coded apps using spec-driven development built-in by default. It's powered by Sonnet 4. The idea is to make it easier to bring vibe-coded apps into a production environment, which is something that most platforms struggle with today. The same techniques that people on here were using in Claude Code seem to be built-in to Kiro. I've only been using it f”
