A Visual Studio 2026 route to Kiro
Use Kiro without moving your daily .NET work into a different editor.
Kiro support for Visual Studio 2026
Use Kiro for C# and .NET in Visual Studio 2026.
Use Kiro’s AI coding agent capabilities from a Visual Studio 2026-native workflow. iolys gives C# and .NET developers a consistent place to prompt, monitor work, and control changes while Kiro handles the coding task.
Provider access
Keep your Kiro account and plan
Authenticate with Kiro through its CLI and use the access attached to that account. iolys does not require you to replace that provider relationship with a separate metered API integration.
