We just launched Kiro Crew, an open source development workspace you can run locally or on your own infrastructure.
The core idea: a persistent workspace that remembers your context, lessons, and skills across sessions. You come back to progress, not a cold start.
What it does:

• Works where you already are - Start from the desktop app, web dashboard, or CLI. Continue through Slack, Discord, Telegram, Teams, Webex, WeCom, or WeChat. Context carries across all of them.
• Runs when you don't - Multi-step tasks run unattended. Recurring jobs run on schedule. Heartbeats monitor your systems and surface only what needs attention.
• Kiro Crew Apps - Purpose-built apps that combine agents, skills, schedules, integrations, and backend services into a custom UI for specific jobs.
• Self-hosted - Runs on your laptop, home server, or cloud instance. No data leaves your infrastructure unless you connect external services.

Kiro Web just got a major upgrade. You can now plan work with full Specs in the browser and connect your GitLab repos alongside GitHub.

GitLab support

Work on GitLab repos the same way you do on GitHub. Connect with a personal access token, and Kiro clones your repos, writes code, and opens merge requests for you. Inspect existing MRs and review issues without leaving the chat, and mix GitLab and GitHub repos in a single session.

Specs in the browser

Describe what you want to build, fix, or plan, and Kiro generates reviewable requirements, design, and task files before it writes a line of code. Same spec types as the IDE:

• Feature Spec — for building something new
• Bugfix Spec — for working through a fix
• Quick Plan — a one-pass plan when the work is well understood

Edit the plan through chat, run every task or just the ones you pick, and download the artifacts when you're done. A single spec session can even span multiple repos.
