Kilo Code for JetBrains - Fast, open-source AI coding agent for JetBrains IDEs
Build, debug, and ship with one AI coding teammate. Kilo Code is open-source, model-agnostic AI code assistant that's pay-per use. After 420,000+ downloads on VS Code and Cursor, we're bringing it to the JetBrains ecosystem: IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm...

Just checked this tool, Its a fresh take on coding tools that actually makes learning fun!
The challenges feel rea; and the interphase is clean without any overwhelming things. If you are into coding, give it a try, already bookmarked it for my daily routine.

So many colleagues are running a double setup with VS Code and JetBrains to use Copilot, Kilo Code, or Comparse. It’s a game changer. I can’t wait to spread the word about it

@sebastien_vey Happy to make things easier for all of you!
As a vibe coder, i think Kilo code is the best Ai agent tool I have used so far compared to the others..it's so smart, responsive and agile in writing and debugging code... with other tools I have to try multiple times, burning a tone of token before they can fix a bug but with kilo, it's just 1 run, max 3 times and it's fixed...not forgetting that is has a open source version. Keep up the good work them Kilo.

@micah224 love it! and icymi @Kilo Code now automatically runs code review agents that analyze pull requests, suggest improvements, catch bugs, and ensure code quality standards (announced today, see launch).
enjoy!
Congrats on the launch of Kilo Code for JetBrains! 🚀 Love that it’s fully open-source — giving devs real transparency and freedom. Excited to try it out on JetBrains IntelliJ

@3980_dcg Thank you.
I have been using Kilo Code over a month with VS Code. It has been great so far. I like its features like background editing, codebase indexing, the flexibility to use any local LLM, plus the pay-per-use subscription model with any LLM like OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or anything from Open Router provider etc.
Go ahead Kilo Code team!

@ramadevsign Thanks!
The app is fantastic — a perfect fit for Vibe. At the moment, it’s the best solution I’ve tried.
The multi-mode system is impressive: you can assign specific tasks to each mode, and the vector-based code scanning is highly effective.
It’s packed with features, in my opinion even surpassing many closed-source alternatives, which often end up “hallucinating” — randomly deleting or rewriting large sections of code while ignoring direct instructions.
Another huge advantage is the flexibility: you can connect any models you like, including local ones.
Right now, it’s an outstanding tool — just keep it that way!
The most important thing is not to burden it with unnecessary restrictions like those in closed-source versions.
