Hello, I'm Arahira (@eiraces) from the Professional Services Division, Cloud Business Headquarters.
I gave a talk titled "Leave the tedious tasks to Kiro Crew" at DevelopersIO 2026 Hiroshima, held on Friday, October 16, 2026, so I'm sharing my slides.
Presentation Slides
Supplementary Notes
Kiro Crew is an OSS workspace that runs on top of Kiro CLI.
It was released under the Apache 2.0 license on August 4, 2026. Its predecessor was a personal project at Amazon called MeshClaw, and reportedly it is used by more than 39,000 people internally.
The biggest difference from interactive agents such as Kiro IDE and Claude Code is that it can keep working even when no one is around. I suspect quite a few people were looking for exactly this kind of OpenClaw-style behavior.
It can start work triggered by schedules, Heartbeat, and Webhooks, and you can give instructions and approvals from Slack or Discord.
If you're already using kiro, another nice point is that you can use your existing .kiro steering and skills as they are.
About two and a half months after its release, version 0.8.0 was published, and features are being added almost every week. (The slides reflect the state at the time of the talk; it has now been updated to 0.12.0.)
In the session, I introduced use cases such as a morning digest, PR watching, and automatic investigation triggered by CI failures.
For the morning digest, I tried creating a job that tells me the Osaka weather forecast every day at 6:00, and it searched the web and delivered the key points to my Slack DM.
For PR watching, I confirmed that a feature called wake judge detects review comments, decides whether to start a session, and then starts it.
I also tried out AWS Control App.
When you enable Cost Explorer, you can check costs, and it's a feature that lets you take backups of Kiro Crew itself (session information and memory snapshots) to an S3-based drive.
By the way, with the default settings, Kiro Crew may have some parts where security is loose.
It seems a good idea to review your settings, such as Owner Lock and Denied Commands, following the security documentation below.
It's a brand-new tool, so let's all try it out and give feedback.
I hope this entry helps someone.
