Concept to code: Transforming ideas into functional products with Kiro

Summary

The handoff is dead. For decades, the road from idea to working product ran through translators. Designers created UI sketches. Engineers interpreted. What shipped was always a relative of the original vision, never quite the vision itself. AI-assisted development is rewriting the contract. Kiro, an agentic IDE built around specification, puts the power to build in the hands of the person who already holds the intent. The design.md spec becomes the design output. Static mocks become shippable code. No relay, no translation, no slow erosion of meaning between rooms. In this session, Rikki Teeters takes an idea from spec to functioning product live on stage. You will watch the spec take shape, see Kiro build against it, and feel the moment a concept becomes code in real time. Expect a working grasp of Kiro, a new frame for the spec as the most consequential artifact a designer makes, and one question worth carrying home. When execution is no longer someone else’s job, what will you build first?
