Amazon Web Services Previews Three Autonomous AI Agents Including Kiro

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced three new AI agents designed to automate coding, security, and DevOps workflows, announced in a press release. The agents were previewed during AWS re:Invent, where CEO Matt Garman said the flagship agent, Kiro, can work autonomously for extended periods.

Kiro is based on AWS’s existing AI coding tool of the same name, expanding it into a fully autonomous agent capable of learning a team's development standards and maintaining persistent context across sessions. This allows it to continue tasks for hours or days without losing track of its objectives. AWS said developers can assign Kiro complex tasks from a backlog, and it will determine how to complete them independently.

Alongside Kiro, AWS unveiled two additional agents: the AWS Security Agent, which identifies and fixes security issues during and after code development, and the DevOps Agent, which tests new code for performance and compatibility. All three agents are available in preview now.

The announcement aligns with broader industry expectations for AI-driven automation, as a recent DeepL study found most global executives anticipate that autonomous AI agents will transform business operations by 2026.
