Kilo Code

Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent for VS Code and other IDEs, starting free with pay-as-you-go AI inference. It supports multiple agent modes like Code, Architect, Debug, and Custom, enabling context switching without changing tools. The agent works in VS Code, JetBrains, CLI, and cloud environments, with parallel worktrees for local and cloud sessions. Auto Model handles model routing, choosing between Efficient, Frontier, Balanced, or Free options. The tool is MIT-licensed, allowing inspection, forking, and self-hosting. Kilo Code integrates with Slack, Telegram, and Discord via hosted KiloClaw agents. It suits developers and solopreneurs who want a transparent, flexible coding assistant without vendor lock-in, ideal for daily coding, debugging, and architectural planning.
