Amazon Web Services made Kiro bots, customizable and persistent agents within Kiro Crew, generally available on November 5, 2026. Each bot has its own name, avatar, memory, and sessions, allowing it to continue working without starting over in a new session. Bots can handle repetitive tasks, such as issue triage and build monitoring, run worker agents in parallel, and execute work on a set schedule.
