AWS Discovery Night: Kiro Crew, Agent Toolkit and More
About the event
AI agents are evolving from simple coding assistants into persistent, tool-enabled teammates that can understand projects, coordinate work, and interact securely with cloud environments.
Join AWS User Group Hong Kong for an evening exploring the latest developments in agentic software engineering and AI on AWS. We’ll look at Kiro Crew, the Agent Toolkit for AWS, and other emerging tools and practices shaping how builders design, deploy, and operate AI-powered applications.
Kiro Crew is an open-source development workspace designed for persistent sessions, long-running tasks, reusable skills, memory, and multi-agent collaboration.
The Agent Toolkit for AWS equips coding agents with current AWS knowledge, curated skills, AWS API access, and enterprise controls. Together, they open up new possibilities—and important security questions—for developers and technical teams.
