New Delhi, May 7: Amazon is reportedly preparing to deepen its involvement in AI-assisted software development with "Project Kiro". Jeff Bezos-backed tech giant is said to be developing this tool as a major upgrade over its current AI assistant, Amazon Q. As per reports, Project Kiro aims to offer more advanced capabilities features.

AI coding assistants are gaining momentum, with top tech companies investing in their growth.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) spokesperson reportedly hinted about working on AI agent features for its existing products, like the Q developer tool. As per reports, AWS likely to launch Kiro in late June. However, it remains unclear whether that timeline is still on track or has been revised.

The software development tool reportedly uses AI agents to process user prompts and existing data, allowing it to generate code in "near real-time," according to internal documents cited in the report. AWS already provides an AI coding assistant known as Amazon Q. However, internal documents suggest that the new tool, Kiro, could be a more expansive platform.
