Amazon open sources its enterprise safe OpenClaw-alike

AWS has open-sourced Kiro Crew, an enterprise-safe development workspace for multi-agent coding, originally built internally as MeshClaw and used by over 39,000 Amazon builders. AWS CEO Matt Garman announced the release on Tuesday, noting that nearly 500 staff contributed to the project, which has faced controversy over token usage inflation. The tool is now freely available via GitHub.

AWS’ agentic side business Kiro is open-sourcing a development workspace that started life at Amazon as an enterprise-safe version of OpenClaw.

The Kiro Crew project was built as an internal project, named MeshClaw, to enable multiple agents to work together on longer coding projects without human intervention and is now available for free via a GitHub repository.

AWS CEO Matt Garman said Tuesday that more than 39,000 “builders” had used the tool at Amazon for “taking the toil out of an on-call rotation, investigating an incident spread across repos, [and] running a scheduled morning brief before anyone logged on.”

Almost 500 staff have also contributed to the project while it was rolled out internally, and it has already courted controversy, with the Financial Times reporting in May that some staff were using the tool to inflate their perceived AI as management tracked token usage amid pressure to use AI across the company.
