Message Feedback
You can give a thumbs up or thumbs down to any response Kilo gives you. It's a quick way to tell us when something worked well, or when it didn't.
Feedback is only available when telemetry is on. If you turn telemetry off, the buttons no longer display. See Turning it off below.
How to use it
When Kilo finishes a response, you'll see thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons next to the Copy response button. Click one to send your rating. Click the same button again to take it back, or click the other one to change your mind.
If you reload the window or switch to a different session, the feedback status will be reset.
Why it matters
Your feedback is the most direct way to tell us what's working and what isn't. We use it to tune the prompts behind Kilo's behavior, pick better default models, and find and fix problems faster than we could on our own.
What we send
When you rate a response, here's what gets sent:
- That you rated a response thumbs up or thumbs down.
- The provider and model ID that produced the response (for example,
anthropicandclaude-sonnet-4-5). - For responses that came through Kilo Gateway, the request ID so we can match the rating back to the session.
No further information is included in the rating feedback. For more information on telemetry, see PRIVACY.md.
Turning it off
Feedback is part of telemetry, so turning telemetry off will cause the feedback buttons to no longer appear.
Open Settings (Cmd+, on Mac, Ctrl+, on Windows/Linux), search for telemetry.telemetryLevel, and set it to Off. The feedback buttons will no longer appear. Set it back to All to bring them back. (For more on what this setting controls, see VS Code's telemetry docs.)
