Kilo Code

Kilo Code is an open source AI agent Visual Studio (VS) Code extension that focuses on enhancing the efficiency of coding. The tool can generate code, automate tasks, and offer practical suggestions.

Open source changes everything with coding agents. Kilo Code lets you inspect every piece of its AI assistance platform. Customize it. Integrate it. No more trusting black boxes with your code. You get 500+ AI models…

Open source changes everything with coding agents. Kilo Code lets you inspect every piece of its AI assistance platform. Customize it. Integrate it. No more trusting black boxes with your code.

You get 500+ AI models through one gateway API. Cloud agents handle the heavy lifting — your laptop battery stays alive. Voice prompting means talking to your IDE instead of typing commands. Sessions sync across devices. Switch from desktop to laptop without breaking flow.

DevOps engineers managing multiple environments will love one-click deployment. It detects configuration automatically and handles the complexity.

Picture this: you're reviewing a pull request late Friday afternoon. Kilo Code's automated review agents scan the code while parallel agents test different approaches using git worktrees. Memory Bank remembers why you chose that specific architecture pattern last month. All without lifting a finger.

Kilo Code earned #1 status on OpenRouter. It processes over 25 trillion tokens for 1.5 million users. Free access includes GLM-5 and MiniMax M2.5 models. You'll hit limits eventually though.

Integration covers VS Code. JetBrains IDEs. CLI tools. Slack too.

Visual App Builder generates production-ready code from mockups. Managed Indexing understands your entire codebase semantically — not just surface-level patterns. Multiple agents can run simultaneously in your IDE through Agent Manager.

Frequently asked

7 questions
How many AI models can I access through Kilo Code's API gateway?
You'll get access to over 500 AI models through just one gateway API. Pretty sweet deal -- includes free access to GLM-5 and MiniMax M2.5 models. You'll hit usage limits eventually on the free tier though. The platform processes over 25 trillion tokens for 1.5 million users.
Can I run multiple coding agents at the same time in my IDE?
Yep! Kilo Code's Agent Manager lets you run multiple agents at once in your IDE. One agent can review a pull request while another tests different approaches using git worktrees. They all work in parallel -- no interference.
What's the Memory Bank feature and how does it help with coding?
Memory Bank remembers your past coding decisions and architectural choices across projects. Chose a specific design pattern last month? It'll recall exactly why when similar situations pop up. Saves you from repeating research or forgetting your own reasoning.
Does Kilo Code work with JetBrains IDEs or just VS Code?
It integrates with both VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. Also works through CLI tools and Slack. Sessions sync across all platforms -- switch from desktop IDE to laptop without losing your workflow.
How does the Visual App Builder actually generate code from mockups?
The Visual App Builder takes your mockups and generates production-ready code you can actually use in real projects. It's not just prototype code or templates. Combined with Managed Indexing, it understands your existing codebase semantically -- generates code that fits your project's patterns.
What makes Kilo Code different from other AI coding assistants since it's open source?
Being open source means you can inspect every piece of Kilo Code's AI assistance platform. No black box with your code. You can customize it for your needs and integrate it however you want -- this transparency's rare among AI coding tools.
Can I use voice commands with Kilo Code instead of typing?
Yes! Kilo Code supports voice prompting so you can talk to your IDE instead of typing commands. Super useful when you're thinking through problems. Keep your hands on the keyboard for coding while giving instructions verbally.
