Really love that finally some open-source Alternatives come to the Dev Tool market 👍
oss ftw!
Native Kotlin instead of reusing the VS Code build is a good call. Does each agent worktree make IntelliJ index all over again?
Interesting approach for agent swapping between models, i can see this being a strong feature when i run out of tokens with a live session! congrats!
@joalavedra thanks for your support, Joan! love what you're building at @Openfort btw
@jobrietbergen @kirillk 🐐
Great tool, thank you. Does it support Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini via a subscription?
yes, you can BYOK with @Kilo Code
I switched from PyCharm to trying this out specifically because of the 500+ model support. Being locked into one provider always felt risky for my team's budget planning.
@hamza_aafzal spot on! curious what are your preferred AI coding models?
Open-source coding agents for JetBrains are still rare compared to VS Code's ecosystem. I'm rooting for this one to close that gap, RubyMine users have been underserved for way too long.
@fran3cc thank, you, Frank 🙏
@JetBrains is an awesome suite of products, the world's leading provider of professional dev tools. psyched to bring a fully native, first-class DX here.
Inline GitHub PR review sounds small until you've spent an hour tab-switching between your editor and browser just to leave a comment. If this actually keeps me in Rider while reviewing, that alone is worth trying.
no detail is too small. and yes, inline diffs helps get a local review as a sanity check before shipping to a public repo. and it's fully open-source, like @dif.sh!
give it a spin at kilo.ai/jetbrains, would love to have your feedback
My honest question: how well does this handle CMake-heavy projects with custom toolchains, not just simple scripts?
@yoann_berno3 That's heavily depends on the model there're ancient proprietary tech stacks where even advanced models struggle but c make should be just fine.
Love that this is a fully native Kotlin rebuild rather than a webview wrapper, and running parallel agents in isolated worktrees is a genuinely smart touch for keeping real projects clean.
ngl the previous version was built around a webview wrapper, i.e. mostly the @VS Code experience embedded inside a @JetBrains panel. feels good to bring a fully native experience here. the future of AI in development is AI living side by side with developers in the tools they already use.
give it a spin! kilo.ai/jetbrains
