Amazon open-sources Kiro Crew, its chat-first coding agent client
Amazon's Kiro platform (successor to Amazon Q Developer, live since July 2025) open-sourced Kiro Crew, a chat-first coding client comparable to Codex or the VS Code Agents window. The code release gives developers a self-hostable option from a tool that has struggled with popularity, partly due to free-tier restrictions to older models.

AI Overview
- Kiro Crew launched as Kiro's third product last month, alongside Kiro IDE (a VSCode fork) and the proprietary Kiro CLI
- It follows a chat-first agent-client design similar to OpenAI Codex and the Agents window in VS Code
- Kiro replaced Amazon Q Developer and has existed since July 2025
- The free tier only offers older models such as Sonnet 4.5 and DeepSeek 3.2, cited as a reason for limited popularity

Lody: local-first shared workspace for coding agents
Lody is an open-source, local-first shared workspace that connects coding agents like Claude Code and Codex across laptops, workstations, servers, and cloud VMs. It centralizes conversations, runtime status, files, diffs, and decisions, solving the problem of fragmented visibility and collaboration around agent work. It does not replace agents or force hosted execution, but provides a shared context layer for teams.
