#From Cursor to Kiro: Building Agapai's AI-Powered WhatsApp Agents for Kiroween 🎃

Armando Blanquicet, a Colombian entrepreneur recognized for his work in AI, is participating in the Kiroween hackathon with his startup, Agapai. Agapai aims to create personalized AI assistants that connect via WhatsApp, simplifying AI adoption for businesses. Armando is ditching his usual development tools for Kiro, an AI-powered IDE, due to its focused and conversational approach. He finds Kiro's ability to handle complex conversational flows and seamless service integration ideal for his project. Agapai, in the hackathon's "Frankenstein" category, combines Kiro, MCP integration with Kapso AI, custom LLM agents, and Stripe for a comprehensive solution. This approach allows businesses to deploy AI customer service agents simply by scanning a QR code. Armando plans to use Kiro's vibe coding for rapid prototyping and its spec-driven development for core logic. He is particularly excited about the MCP integration via Kapso AI for Meta-approved WhatsApp Business connections. The project aligns with the Halloween theme by reanimating disconnected technologies into a functional AI platform. Armando aims to win prizes and document his development journey with Kiro over the next few weeks. He encourages others to follow his progress and connect with him on social media.
