AI Development Shouldn’t Stop at One Editor

Agentic coding works right up until you switch tools, switch models, or need something your org hasn’t approved yet.

A Different Agent in Each Tool

One agent in your editor, another in the terminal, a third reviewing PRs. Each with its own models, its own context, its own subscription.

You Keep Re-Explaining Yourself

Context doesn’t carry between them. You describe the same task three times, to three agents, before anyone writes code.

Approved Shouldn't Mean Slow

The model you want is a ticket away, and by the time it clears there’s a better one. Governance shouldn’t be the reason you ship late.

Good Tools Shouldn't Come With a Wait

You know what you need to get the job done. You shouldn’t have to file a ticket and wait for security approval, switch workflows, or settle for yesterday’s models.

Kilo ranked #1 product of the month by Product Hunt in May 2026.

Your Tools, Your Models, No Waiting

Pick from hundreds of models, work in the editor you already use, and let your org's policy travel with you instead of blocking you.

Pick Any Approved Model

500+ models across 60+ providers , at provider rates or with your own keys. Auto Model routes to the right one for the job and the budget.

  • 500+ models, 60+ providers
  • Efficient or Frontier, per task
  • Bring your own keys, or pay at cost
  • New models the day they ship

Stay in Flow

Plan, refactor, debug and review pull requests without switching tools. Sessions, context and active agents move with you across IDE, CLI and Cloud — so you stop re-explaining what you’re working on.

  • Plan, code, debug, review — one place
  • Sessions and context move with you
  • Modes: Ask, Plan, Architect, Code, Debug

Work Where You Already Work

VS Code, JetBrains, CLI, Cloud Agents, Slack, Code Reviewer. Kilo works across all of them, keeping your context in sync.

  • Six surfaces, shared context
  • Add new surfaces without starting over
  • Inspect the agent’s prompts and context

Policy Is Already Handled

Your org sets the allowlists, regions and budgets once. You build inside them — without filing a request to use a model that’s already approved.

  • SSO, OIDC, SCIM — already wired
  • Approved providers, set by your org
  • Audit and budgets, handled for you

How to Get Started with Kilo

Start where you already work. No new workflow to learn.

Step 1

Install Kilo in the editor you already use — VS Code, JetBrains, or the CLI.

Step 2

Pick a model, or let Auto Model pick for the task and the budget.

Step 3

Start building. if your org has already set policy, nothing to request.

What Changes When Kilo Works Across Your Workflow

Less waiting. More building.

Builders

One agent, the model you picked, and the context already loaded. The approval round-trip stops being part of your day.

Platform and Security

One governed agent instead of six ungoverned ones, with allowlists and audit that hold without chasing anyone.

The Business

Agentic coding stops being one unattributable line item and becomes a number you can defend, team by team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to change editors?

No. Kilo works across VS Code, JetBrains, the CLI, Slack, Cloud Agents, and Code Reviewer, with your sessions and context moving with you. Keep working in the tools you already use.

Run local and offline models with Kilo Desktop. Your org can also control where workloads run, which providers are available, and how your data is handled.

Use new models as soon as they’re available and approved. Kilo gives you access through its Gateway and Auto Model routing, so switching models doesn’t mean switching tools or rebuilding your workflow.

Start free and see how Kilo fits your workflow. Kilo is open source and MIT-licensed, so your team can inspect how it works. When your org is ready, enterprise controls like SSO, model and provider allowlists, regional controls, and audit logs are available.
