Overview

Kiro Crew is a Python Gateway that drives agent sessions through ACP harnesses (default kiro-cli) and keeps sessions, memory, lessons, schedules and task checkpoints across restarts. You reach it from a desktop app, web dashboard, CLI, or messaging channels such as Slack and Discord. It runs checkpointed long tasks, scheduled jobs, webhooks and subagents, gated by approvals and OS sandboxing.

Who it is for: Developers who want a self-hosted, always-on agent that works unattended

Strengths

Sessions, memory, schedules and task checkpoints survive Gateway restarts
Same agent state reachable from desktop, dashboard, CLI, Slack, Discord, Telegram and Teams
Approvals, OS sandboxing, credential redaction and audit events; dashboard binds to loopback by default
Extensible with MCP servers, markdown skills, hooks and installable Apps

Weaknesses

Default backend needs kiro-cli installed and signed in separately
Sends a daily anonymous telemetry heartbeat by default; opt-out required
Source build needs Python 3.12+ and Node.js 22.12+
Self-learning and skill synthesis are described without any benchmarks in the README

What it needs

no GPU
Needs kiro-cli, Python 3.12+, Node.js 22.12+
Models: Kiro models via kiro-cli, Other ACP harnesses
port 5476

How to choose

Check which models it can use: your own keys, local models, or only the vendor's.
See what it may do without asking (edit files, run shell, push) and how you approve.
Prefer agents that work in a branch or worktree you can throw away.
