Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent that works across VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and the command line. It is designed to bring agentic software-development workflows into the environments developers already use, with support for reading and changing code, interacting with tools, and completing larger programming tasks with language models.

The project supports multiple models and providers rather than locking users into one AI backend. Its broader ecosystem is built around extensibility, open-source development, and integration with modern coding-agent capabilities so developers can choose how and where the agent operates.

Kilo Code is aimed at developers who want an AI coding assistant that can move beyond autocomplete into repository-level work and autonomous task execution. Its combination of IDE and CLI interfaces makes it suitable for interactive coding, refactoring, debugging, project exploration, and agent-driven development workflows across different toolchains.
