Kilo Code

Kilo code provides what lacks in Chatgpt, perplexity, web interfaces. It allows to do agentic coding with context. It understands my style of writing code and develops accordingly. It blends into the workflow so easily. Also with diff i can easily understand what it has changed. Moreover it can test it's own code, install libraries, generate test samples. I just need to write a good prompt. it takes care of the rest. finally, it charges only what api providers charge. very nice product. this is the future of AI coding

Kilo code is THE most amazing AI assist coding solution out there. I was using Windsurf and others and they were novel, fun for some things but overall AI tools just never worked their way into my daily coding life, finding Kilo Code though has changed the way I think about things and the way I work with code and JetBrain's is making it better too. Recently thanks to a member of the awesome Kilo Code Discord sever I switched from VS code to Rider to take advantage of Rider MCP server and better Unity C# support.

I've been using Kilo Code since June 2025 - it is in my top list for Agentic AI Coding tools for the following reasons: - Does a great job coding! - Great set of modes for development including: Architect, Code, Ask, Debug and Orchestrate - Directly supports Open Router connection - a central HUB for LLM models (including open-source/free/stealth models) - Offer tons of opportunities for free credits and awesome value deals on credits - Responsive staff Easy integration into the IDEs I use (VS Code and Cursor) Great product team @fmerian @Kilo Code , keep it up!!

Kilo Code Extension is totally awesome and opened a new whole universe of coding with agent mode for me. I code in python for Machine learning projects. Great alternative to Github Copilot Agent mode. Seamless Integration: Easy to install and use within Visual Studio Code/Jet Brains , with an intuitive user interface. Powerful Agent Mode: Leverages multiple LLMs to generate high-quality Python code, reducing debugging time. Contextual Understanding: Generates code that fits seamlessly into your existing projects, understanding the context of your codebase. Customizable Prompts: Allows fine-tuning of prompts and parameters for tailored code generation. Fast and Reliable: Handles large projects efficiently with quick code generation and minimal lag.

I’ve been using Kilo Code since April, and it’s become indispensable. The team runs frequent, generous promotions with high credit allowances—I’ve pushed over 200 million tokens without friction. There are often excellent free models available, and they perform surprisingly well for planning, coding, and debugging. On VS Code, this is the best AI coding extension by far—it blends the strengths of Cline and Roo Code with better UX and reliability. I’m also excited to keep exploring it on JetBrains and expect it to become my default there too. Outstanding work; please keep the momentum!

Kilocode is a practical tool that has quickly proven useful in my workflow. The setup process was smooth, and I was able to get started without spending much time on configuration. The interface is simple, clear, and doesn’t get in the way, which makes it easy to pick up. What I’ve appreciated most so far is how Kilocode handles the routine parts of coding tasks. It doesn’t try to do everything, but the features it offers are solid and save me time on repetitive work. I also like that it fits neatly into my existing setup rather than forcing me to change how I work. Performance has been consistent, and I haven’t run into bugs or slowdowns. The overall experience feels reliable and thought-through, which gives me confidence in using it more day to day.

I use AI coding assistants for support with game development tasks as a solo game developer for most of past decade who recently adopted some AI tooling. Kilo Code is a brilliant coding assistant, works great for both VSCode (and forks of it) and Jetbrains IDEs. Very well rounded feature-set access to a bunch of different providers etc, My biggest complaint about Kilo Code is no ability to use it within Zed, I hope that happens soon, even if mostly as a provider to spend my credits to start with! But for the IDEs it works in, especially the JetBrains ones it has very little competition. For best value from it be sure to experiment with a bunch of different model configurations, the most expensive ones aren't often the best for most tasks. Alternatives I look at and sometimes use for dev work without using Kilo Code: Zed, GitHub Copilot, Openrouter, Bezi.

Kilo Code has become my go-to AI coding assistant. Unlike other tools, it gives me real control: rules, modes, and memory banks make it possible to align the model with how I actually work. I can keep context clean, tune responses per mode, and manage cost with precision. The VS Code extension is stable and efficient, giving me visibility into tokens and ensuring I know exactly what’s being sent. This makes it easier to optimize prompts, enforce standards, and prevent token waste. Kilo Code stands out because it’s not just about generating code—it’s about governing how code is created. For developers who want structure instead of noise, this is the product that delivers.

Efficient, Reliable, and Developer-Friendly I’ve been using Kilocode for a few weeks now, and I must say it’s an impressive tool for developers. The interface is clean and intuitive, which makes navigating and managing projects straightforward. Performance-wise, it’s fast and responsive, even with larger datasets or more complex workflows. One thing I really appreciate is the attention to detail in documentation—it’s clear, well-structured, and has saved me a lot of time when troubleshooting. The support team is also responsive and helpful, which makes the overall experience smooth. Of course, no tool is perfect. Some advanced features could use more customization options, and occasionally there are minor UI quirks. But overall, Kilocode has significantly improved my productivity, and I can confidently recommend it to other developers looking for a reliable, human-friendly coding tool.
