Amazon Web Services (AWS) this week added an open source workspace for its Kiro artificial intelligence (AI) coding tool that enables application developers to asynchronously assign tasks to an AI agent that is capable of autonomously performing tasks, such as testing code as it is created, in a way that maintains context across multiple sessions. Darko Mesaros, a distinguished developer advocate at AWS, said the Kiro Crew workspace is also capable of creating reusable AI skills by observing the tasks developers assign to Kiro as they write code. Kiro Crew orchestrates agents using the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) to ensure every step is observable in real time as sub-agents are spawned. For example, developers can also hand off a ticket queue to Kiro Crew for it to triage issues and flag what needs their attention or ask it to investigate the root cause of an incident while a developer continues to work on another task. An Activity view shows each agent’s reasoning, every tool call,...
In high-tech, we have a terrible predilection for finding a good tool and abusing it until we hate it. I’ve written several “Use the right tool for the job” articles and posts over the years, most notably an examination of trying to make one programming language (or another) into an all-purpose solution. We’re thankfully past […]
