Kiro
My AI agent of choice. The Kiro CLI pairs with Zed over the Agent Client Protocol, and like Zed it is written in Rust.
My AI agent of choice is called Kiro. More precisely the Kiro CLI. While the Kiro IDE does me good service when creating demos or PoCs, I prefer using Kiro in combination with Zed. Thanks to its Agent Client Protocol implementation, integrating it with Zed is a breeze.
You might ask: why are there two Kiro products? That’s simple. In 2023, AWS acquired a startup called fig and rebranded the product to Amazon Q for Developers CLI. With the announcement of the Kiro IDE, the Amazon Q for Developers CLI was renamed to Kiro CLI. Their different paths also explain the differences in features. The Kiro CLI is — like Zed — written in Rust and highly performant.
