Overview

Open-source AI coding assistant for VS Code and JetBrains that plans, writes, and debugs code with multi-model support.

Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding assistant designed to run inside VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and web-based editors. Built as a full coding agent, it can plan features, generate new code from natural language, refactor and debug existing projects, run terminal commands, and even automate the browser with user approval. Kilo Code combines ideas from tools like Cline and Roo into a unified workflow with dedicated modes such as Architect, Coder, and Debugger. It connects to 400+ frontier and open models through OpenRouter and similar providers, offers optional hosted credits so developers can start without managing their own API keys, and supports an MCP-style server marketplace for extending the agent with custom tools. This makes it a flexible choice for individual developers and teams who want powerful AI assistance while keeping configuration transparent and community-driven.
