 💡 How RAG is used in E-Commerce

RAG is a powerful way to bring real-time intelligence into e-commerce apps. Instead of depending only on pre-trained models, RAG fetches up-to-date data like product info, inventory, or shipping status from external sources and feeds it to the language model.

This makes chatbot responses more accurate, personalized, and reliable, perfect for building smarter product search, customer support, and shopping assistants. Read More

For these use cases, Amazon now also supports storing vectors directly in S3 buckets, making it easier to build and scale RAG-based applications.

What is Kiro❓

Kiro.dev is a new AI IDE created by AWS.

What makes Kiro special is that it is built with Amazon Q, AWS’s AI assistant for developers.

So, with Kiro, you do not just write code manually, you get real-time help from AI while coding. Kiro understands your project, answers questions, writes code for you, helps you debug, and even helps with AWS configurations.

🗂️ What can you do with Kiro?

Kiro is going from Vibe coding to viable code

Control complexity with spec-driven development

Kiro turns your prompt into clear requirements, smart designs, tested tasks, and working code, bringing AI coding together with solid engineering practices, and it will work with you to build the system while you stay in control.

Automate tasks with agent hooks

You can assign tasks to AI agents that trigger on events such as file save. These Agents autonomously execute in the background based on your pre-defined prompts, and agent hooks help you scale your work by generating documentation, unit tests, or optimizing code performance.

More context, less repetition

Kiro uses specs, guidance, and smart context to understand what you want and helps you build complex features in big codebases with fewer steps.

Integrate tools and data with MCP

Easily connect to docs, databases, APIs, and more using built-in MCP support, so everything you need is right where you work.

🧑‍💼 Who can use Kiro right now?
