Why Kilo: The all-in-one agentic engineering platform
Stay in your flow
- Sync across every interface: Start a task on your mobile device and finish it in VS Code, JetBrains, or the CLI without missing a beat.
- Persist your context: Never lose state. Your session history, active agents, and variables follow you automatically across devices and environments.
- Open the black box: Kilo is open source so you can inspect, customize, and integrate to meet your specific needs.
- Ship without friction: Move from "commit" to "live" in one motion. Get AI code reviews and deployments without leaving your IDE.
1000x every dev
Reduce boilerplate coding time by 40%
- Multiply your output: Use Orchestrator Mode and Code Review to plan, build, and audit simultaneously. Be everywhere at once.
- Externalize your context: Stop repeating yourself. Use Memory Bank to store architectural decisions and onboard the team automatically.
- Code at thought speed: Eliminate boilerplate. Use intelligent Tab Autocomplete to ship PRs faster than you can type them.
- Use the best model for the job: With 500+ models, you can control the right tradeoffs between latency, cost, context, and reasoning for each task.
Accelerate AI ROI
- Stop AI sprawl: Centralize usage to prevent shadow IT, security risks, and wasted credits before they spiral.
- Track and improve velocity: Use the AI Management Dashboard to track adoption rates, measure new hire speed, and prove ROI.
- Centralize management: Simplify administration with pooled credits, unified billing, and enterprise-grade data privacy controls.
- Duplicate your best devs: Capture individual "superpowers" into custom modes the whole team can use.
