CAPABILITIES
Everything you need to code faster
Kilo Code brings parallel AI agents, subagent delegation, and 500+ models to VS Code.
Agent Manager
Spin up as many Kilo tabs as you need, anywhere in VS Code. Each agent runs independently — write code in one, run tests in another, refactor in a third.
Subagent Delegation
Split complex tasks into specialized roles — implementation, tests, refactoring, documentation — and merge results faster with orchestrated workflows.
Lower Latency
Optimized for speed with reduced round-trip times. Experience a smoother workflow, especially when working on larger codebases and complex tasks.
500+ AI Models
Choose from 500+ hosted models, connect your own API keys, or use local models via Ollama and LM Studio. No vendor lock-in, ever.
Cross-Platform Sessions
Start a session in VS Code and seamlessly continue it on another device or platform. Your AI agents, context, and progress follow you across environments.
Open Source
Fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. Inspect the code, contribute, or fork — complete transparency and community-driven development.
WORKFLOW
How parallel agents work
Three steps to supercharge your development workflow.
Spin Up Multiple Agents
Open as many Kilo tabs as you need in VS Code. Each one is an independent agent ready to work on a different part of your project simultaneously.
Delegate Specialized Tasks
Assign each agent a focused role — one writes the implementation, another generates tests, a third handles documentation. The Orchestrator mode coordinates everything.
Merge & Ship
Review the output from each agent, merge the results, and push to production. What used to take hours now takes minutes.
EASY SETUP
Get started in minutes
Four simple steps to parallel AI agents in VS Code.
Install from Marketplace
Search for "Kilo Code" in the VS Code Extensions panel or install directly from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Connect Your Models
Use Kilo's built-in gateway for instant access to 500+ models, or bring your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more.
Open Your First Agent Tab
Hit Cmd+Shift+P and type "Kilo" to open a new agent tab. Start with Code mode for implementation or Architect mode for planning.
Go Parallel
Open multiple Kilo tabs side by side. Each agent works independently — write code in one, test in another, refactor in a third.
ALL-IN-ONE PLATFORM
Kilo is more than a VS Code extension
A complete AI coding platform across editors, CLI, and teams.
Trusted by developers at the world's most innovative companies
