[WEBINAR] HOW TO STOP BABYSITTING YOUR AGENTS

Agents can generate code. Getting it right for your system is the hard part. You end up wasting time and tokens in the correction loops. More MCPs, rules, and bigger context windows give agents access to information, but not understanding. The teams pulling ahead have a context layer to give agents exactly what they need for the task at hand. Join us live on Oct 7 (FREE) [4]to see: * Where teams get stuck on the AI maturity curve and why common fixes fall short * How a context layer solves for quality, efficiency, and cost * Live demo: the same task with and without a context layer

STARTUPS CAN GET A YEAR OF KIRO PRO+. HERE'S HOW.

When you're pre-seed to Series A, every engineering hour counts. You can't afford to spend a week on a feature that should take a day — or ship code that breaks the moment your codebase gets real. Kiro is built exactly for this stage. Using structured specifications, clear requirements, and well-scoped task decomposition, Kiro agents have complete context on the definition of “done” before writing a single line of code. You describe what you want to build, and Kiro creates requirements, designs the architecture, sequences the tasks, and implements them. Eligible startups can apply for up to 12 months of Kiro Pro+ at no cost
