AWS ships Kiro Bots to coordinate multi-agent coding work
Kiro Bots keeps its own memory and workspace and can run sub-agents in parallel, AWS said on its official blog on November 5, 2026.
Amazon Web Services released Kiro Bots, a feature in its Kiro Crew AI development environment that lets dedicated bots coordinate multiple AI agents and automate repetitive development work. AWS announced on its official blog on November 5, 2026, that the feature is now available in Kiro Crew.
Each bot keeps its own memory and workspace, storing past decisions and developer feedback so they can be reused on similar tasks. A single bot can run multiple sub-agents in parallel, check their progress, correct course when work drifts from the plan, and pull the results into one conversation window. Tasks that need human judgment can be flagged as questions while the rest of the work continues.
Schedules can be set in natural language, which AWS says allows automation such as investigating overnight build errors or writing weekly release notes on Fridays. Permissions are configurable per bot, including restricted access or requiring developer approval for specific actions; by default, approval is not required for each task.
Controls and model choice
Developers can view, edit and delete what a bot remembers, and monitor task progress on a dashboard. Model selection is available, with a stronger model for the coordinating bot and faster, cheaper models for subtasks. Bots can run on the developer's computer, on a separate server, or on an AWS EC2 instance.
Kiro Crew already offered parallel execution of multiple AI agents, long-term memory and scheduled tasks before this launch, according to AWS. Cursor and Anthropic also offer scheduled execution and memory features for AI coding agents. AWS did not publish benchmarks comparing developer productivity or task success rates against competing products.
Quick answers
What are Kiro Bots?
They are a feature in AWS's Kiro Crew AI development environment that lets dedicated bots coordinate multiple sub-agents, retain memory and automate recurring development work.
Where can Kiro Bots run?
On the developer's computer, a separate server, or an AWS EC2 instance.
Do developers have to approve every bot action?
No. Approval is not required per task by default, though permissions can be set per bot, including requiring developer approval for specific actions.
