AWS launches Kiro powers with Stripe, Figma, and Datadog integrations for AI-assisted coding

Amazon Web Services on Wednesday introduced Kiro powers, a system that allows software developers to give their AI coding assistants instant, specialized expertise in specific tools and workflows — addressing what the company calls a fundamental bottleneck in how artificial intelligence agents operate. The platform integrates with popular services such as Stripe, Figma, and Datadog, enabling AI‑driven code generation and automation that is aware of the nuances of each service’s APIs and best‑practice patterns.

• Stripe integration – lets the AI assistant generate payment‑related code that conforms to Stripe’s latest SDKs and security guidelines.
• Figma integration – provides design‑to‑code capabilities, allowing developers to pull component specifications directly from Figma files.
• Datadog integration – equips the assistant with observability context, automatically inserting monitoring and logging snippets that align with Datadog’s conventions.

Kiro powers aims to reduce the “prompt‑engineering” overhead that developers currently face when trying to coax generic LLMs into producing accurate, production‑ready code for specific platforms. By embedding tool‑specific knowledge directly into the AI’s reasoning process, AWS hopes to accelerate development cycles and improve code quality across a wide range of cloud‑native applications.

The announcement also highlighted a roadmap that includes additional integrations with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure‑as‑code tools, and other SaaS platforms, positioning Kiro as a central hub for AI‑augmented software development workflows.
