Kilo

Kilo is an open-source AI coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, the terminal and the cloud. It aims to be one agent you can use wherever you work.

Kilo lets you run agents in your editor, in a shell or script, or in the cloud, and follow them from a phone. It supports 500+ models at zero markup, so you can use your own keys or local models. Agents can run in parallel isolated worktrees, and a Slack mention can start one in a channel. The source is MIT licensed, so you can inspect the prompts and context it uses.

Developers and engineering teams who want an open, auditable agent with transparent model costs. Privacy-minded teams may value the local model support.

Kilo is open source under the MIT licence, and the page says model use is priced at cost with no markup. You can also run local models. The desktop app is in beta. Enterprise options are offered separately, so check current terms before you roll it out to a team.
