About Kilo Code
Kilo Code is the most popular open-source AI coding agent, built for developers who want full control over their AI tooling. It runs natively in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and the CLI, and connects to 500+ AI models via Kilo Gateway or your own API keys. The platform ships with six specialized agent modes — Code, Architect, Debug, Ask, Custom, and Orchestrator — so you can switch contexts without switching tools. Kilo also offers KiloClaw, a hosted 24/7 personal AI agent for automating everyday workflows beyond coding.
- Open Source Core — The VS Code, JetBrains, and CLI extensions are Apache-2.0 licensed and freely available on GitHub.
- 500+ Model Support — Connect to any AI provider via Kilo Gateway, bring your own API keys (BYOK), or use OpenRouter, AWS Bedrock, Azure, and local models.
- Multiple Agent Modes — Switch between Code, Architect, Debug, Ask, Orchestrator, and Custom modes to match your current task.
- Cloud Agents — Spin up cloud-based coding agents that run in the background without requiring your local machine.
- KiloClaw — A hosted 24/7 personal AI agent that manages email, calendar, and workflows via Slack, Telegram, or Discord.
- Code Reviewer — Automated AI-powered code review integrated into your development workflow.
- Teams & Enterprise — Centralized billing, shared BYOK, usage analytics, SSO/SCIM/OIDC, audit logs, and model/provider restrictions for organizations.
- App Builder — Build and deploy web applications directly from within the Kilo platform.
- Kilo Pass — Optional AI usage subscription offering up to 50% bonus credits monthly with no rate limits and no markup on provider rates.
- Parallel Agents — Run multiple AI agents simultaneously to accelerate complex, multi-step development tasks.
