Kilo Code

Detailed overview

Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent available as a VS Code and JetBrains extension, a CLI, and cloud agents, unified so work can move between environments. It offers specialized modes—Code, Architect, Debug, and Ask—for writing and refactoring code, planning complex features, and diagnosing bugs, plus cloud agents for remote runs and automated code review. An Auto Model router (Efficient, Frontier, Free) selects from 500+ models via a Gateway that charges no markup, and users can bring their own API keys or run local models. The agent can produce production code changes, architectural plans, bug fixes, and pull-request reviews across a codebase, with parallel isolated worktrees in JetBrains for running multiple agents at once. Slack integration lets teams trigger agents from chat. Kilo Code, Inc. is fully open source (MIT-licensed) and was acquired by Anaconda; it targets individual developers and teams wanting model flexibility rather than a single vendor-locked assistant.
