Amazon Web Services introduced three “frontier” AI agents at its re:Invent conference, headlined by Kiro, an autonomous coding assistant that AWS says can maintain context and work independently for days. The company also debuted separate Security and DevOps agents to automate code reviews, testing and deployment checks. AWS pitched the tools as a way for enterprises to accelerate software delivery while adhering to internal standards via “spec-driven development.” The move intensifies a race among cloud and AI leaders to build long-running, task-oriented agents, even as concerns persist about hallucinations and the need for human oversight. AWS framed the upgrades as a step toward agents operating as reliable co-workers rather than short-burst copilots.
