Kilo

Kilo is an open-source AI coding agent that integrates directly into the environments where developers already work, including VS Code, JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm), command-line interface, cloud platforms, and Slack. It provides a unified agent that can generate, edit, explain, debug, and refactor code across these tools without requiring users to switch contexts. The platform supports access to over 500 AI models, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, and local models like Llama or Qwen, allowing developers to choose the best model for each task. Users can bring their own API keys, eliminating any price markup, and run models locally to keep sensitive code private. Kilo’s core capabilities include code completion, inline suggestions, natural-language-to-code generation, and automated code review for pull requests. It can understand entire codebases, provide context-aware suggestions, and handle multi-file edits. In the CLI, Kilo acts as a terminal agent that can execute commands, analyze logs, and automate repetitive tasks. In Slack, teams can ask Kilo questions about their codebase, request code snippets, or trigger workflows without leaving the chat. For cloud deployments, Kilo offers a hosted agent that can be used through a web interface or API, enabling remote collaboration and integration with CI/CD pipelines. The agent is extensible: users can create custom agents, define tool integrations, and configure rules for code style, security, or licensing. Kilo also provides a gateway feature to manage model access, track usage, and enforce policies across teams. It has been adopted by over 3 million developers and has processed more than 40 trillion tokens. The platform offers a free tier with basic access, and paid plans for higher usage
