Kiro is AWS's agentic IDE built around spec-driven development, turning a prompt into requirements, design, and tasks before it writes code. It runs on frontier models such as Claude Sonnet plus specialized models, across IDE, CLI, and web. AWS positions it as its main coding tool as it winds down the older Amazon Q Developer subscriptions.

You can export a chat session by right-clicking the chat tab and choosing Export Chat, which saves a zip file. It contains session.json (metadata) and messages.jsonl (the full conversation as newline-delimited JSON) with prompts, responses, tool calls and code blocks; exports are read-only and cannot be reimported.

Cancellation is self-serve: open the profile icon, choose Manage Plan, and downgrade to Kiro Free in your browser. You are billed on the first day of the month, so cancelling mid-month keeps your plan until the end of that month and moves you to Free next billing cycle; unused add-on credits stay available until they expire.
