{% callout type="generic" %} Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding assistant that works wherever you do—in your IDE, terminal, browser, or on the go. Generate code, automate reviews, debug issues, and ship faster with AI that understands your codebase. {% /callout %}

Where to Use Kilo

In your IDE — VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Windsurf, and other VS Code forks
CLI — Run Kilo from your terminal for scripting and automation
Web & Mobile — Access Kilo from your browser (coming soon) or iOS/Android apps
Slack — Chat with Kilo directly in your workspace

Your sessions sync across all of these, so you can start a task on your phone and finish it in your IDE.

What Kilo Can Do

Code with AI — Generate, refactor, and debug code through natural conversation. Use specialized modes (Code, Architect, Debug, Ask) or create your own. Get inline suggestions with Autocomplete.
Collaborate — Share sessions, manage team settings, and track AI adoption across your organization.
Automate — Set up AI-powered code reviews, triage agents, and auto-fixers that open new PRs based on issues.
Deploy & Secure — Build and deploy apps directly from Kilo. Run security scans and manage issues with AI assistance.

{% callout type="tip" %} The easiest way to configure Kilo is to ask the agent. Just tell the agent what you want — "add this MCP server", "disable OpenAI", "add my Ollama endpoint". The agent has a built-in skill for reading and updating your kilo.jsonc configuration. Learn more {% /callout %}
