Refraction uses AI to refactor code, generate documentation, and create unit tests from code samples.
Kiro
Kiro turns prompts into software requirements, architecture, and task plans, then uses agents to implement and test code.

About Kiro
Kiro is a development tool that turns a developer's prompt into software requirements, architectural designs, and sequenced implementation tasks. Parallel agents then implement the work, either on a local machine or in the cloud. Before writing code, Kiro checks the requirements for contradictions and gaps. It also runs property-based tests, which check rules across many inputs rather than a few examples.
Kiro supports several AI models, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, and open-weight models such as DeepSeek and Qwen, or an Auto option that selects a model per task. The homepage says Kiro is built and operated by AWS and cites enterprise security, reliability, and privacy standards. It also describes cloud sessions and connections to external tools such as Figma and Terraform. This entry does not verify those claims, and the source does not explain how data is handled for cloud sessions or third-party model providers. The homepage describes a credit-based pricing model, but it does not state specific prices, and known pricing is unknown.
Key features
- Turns prompts into requirements, architectural designs, and sequenced tasks
- Checks requirements for contradictions and gaps using automated reasoning
- Property-based tests that assert rules across all inputs, such as fuzz testing
- Parallel agents that run on a local machine or in the cloud
- Headless CLI that can run in CI/CD to review pull requests and fix bugs
- Supports AGENTS.md, Skills.md, and MCP, and Open VSX extensions in the Kiro IDE
- Structures work through requirements, designs, and task plans before code is written
- Uses property-based tests to target edge cases that unit tests can miss
- Works with open standards such as ACP, AGENTS.md, and MCP
- Model costs are billed in credits at different multiples of the Auto baseline, so costs vary by model
- The Claude Fable 5.1 enterprise preview is available only in US East
