Why We're Doing This

Embedding AI into how we work

Rather than treating AI as an add-on, FR-AI-DAY embeds it into how we work, build, and think. This is an investment in accelerating our collective AI capability with a specific focus on KIRO tooling and AI-driven development skills.

How It Works

Three-phase approach to building AI capability

1. Kick-off: Foundational Session

Led by Colin Willis — AWS Architect

A KIRO 101 session to establish a baseline understanding, provide practical guidance, and get everyone hands-on quickly.

⚠️ Prerequisite: Ensure KIRO is installed locally before the session.

2. Hands-On Use Case Development

Every Friday Afternoon

Work individually or collaboratively on defined use cases. Explore how KIRO and AI can solve real product or engineering challenges from the central use case library.

3. Show & Share

Bi-Weekly — Every other Thursday, starting 6th May

Share outputs and learnings via the Product Team meeting. Demonstrate practical applications and experiments. Colin Willis will provide feedback and recommendations.

Rules of Engagement

FR-AI-DAY is a priority, but we stay pragmatic

The following will always take precedence when required:

  • Critical production issues
  • Live incidents
  • Time-sensitive release preparation
