## AI overview

AWS introduced Kiro bots to manage ongoing development responsibilities and parallel agent sessions. Each named bot keeps editable memory in a notes file, uses only the tools and permissions granted for its role, and can redirect drifting sessions and combine their results. Developers can set routines and give bots ongoing direction. Bots may request more authority but cannot grant it themselves; a deployment bot can require approval before each change, while a research bot can be limited to reading and searching. Work that does not depend on a human decision can continue while the bot waits. Bots cannot delegate to one another, and developers define how their roles connect. The excerpt describes Kiro's launch and setup, but gives no independent evaluation of its performance.
