Beyond the Chatbox: Engineering with AWS Kiro?
AI coding assistants are great at writing snippets, but they often fail at building cohesive, maintainable systems. Enter Kiro: an agentic IDE designed to bridge the gap between rapid prototyping and production-ready code. We'll be showing off the latest 2026 features, including Design-First workflows, Agent Hooks, and how Kiro uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to have a deeper understanding of your infrastructure. Come see how to turn a single natural language prompt into a fully documented, tested, and architected feature.

Please feel free to bring your own laptop and play with Kiro alongside us.
