Spec-Driven Development and the Future of AI IDEs with AWS’s Kiro - JSJ 693
Thursday, 9 October, 2025

In this episode of JavaScript Jabber, I sit down with AWS’s Clare Liguori and Erik Hanchett to talk about Kiro, a brand-new AI-powered IDE that’s reimagining the way developers build software. We dive into how Kiro takes “AI-assisted coding” to a new level through spec-driven development — a process that focuses on defining requirements and collaborating with AI to break projects into clear, manageable tasks.We unpack what sets Kiro apart from tools like Cursor and Copilot, explore its supervised vs. autopilot coding modes, and even talk about how it handles UI design, planning, and complex legacy codebases. Clare and Erik share behind-the-scenes insights on how Kiro was built using Kiro itself, what’s coming next for the platform, and how developers can join the early-access community to help shape its future.🔗 Links & Resources:🌐 Kiro Official Site🧠 AWS Developer Advocate TeamBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/javascript-jabber--6102064/support.
