Kilo Code for JetBrains - Fast, open-source AI coding agent for JetBrains IDEs

Thank you a lot!!! you are the best

So, your interested in a bit of 'Vibe'in Jive'in Code'in'?

I really appreciate the Kilo teams dev direction and their company ethos. but as someone still finding my way in 'vibe' coding, it’s this tool that that takes me by the hand and makes it less scary and even enjoyable. Excited to see where you take it next - speaking of which, I still haven't found the 'Jive'in setup option's in Kilo settings yet, but I live in hope for their next update release, and check their changelog religiously for news of it daily.

Thanks for making vibe'in fun!

Found a great AI coding setup that's powerful and free. What's your stack?

Hey everyone! 😊👍

I wanted to share my current AI coding setup, which is the result of a year of testing and exploration. If you're looking for an optimal and, most importantly, an extremely cost-effective (or even completely free) solution, this might be for you.

Here's my winning stack:

✅ AI Coding Agent: Kilo Code

✅ Environment: Firebase Studio

✅ Online Data Access: travily MPC server

✅ AI Model: Grok Code Fast 1 (incredibly capable and currently free from xAI)

So, why this specific stack?

After testing over a dozen tools (like Warp, Qwen3 Coder, Cursor, Claude Code, Trae, etc.), I've found this combination gives me the most benefits:

📈 Synergy: Kilo Code and Firebase Studio work together seamlessly.

🌐 Live Data Access: The travily server was a fantastic recent discovery. It gives the agent real-time access to online information, which has proven to be a game-changer.

💪 Performance & Flexibility: So far, this setup has handled even my most complex programming visions without breaking a sweat.

💲 The Best Part? The Cost: Right now, you can use this entire combination with virtually no limitations and at practically zero cost. It's completely free! 🎉

🎯 I've spent a ton of time searching for that "sweet spot" and for now, this combination is it for me.

👉 Now, I have a question for you all: What tools are in your stack? Do you know of anything that could compete with this setup or is even better in some areas?

I'd love to hear your recommendations. Let's discuss! 👇

Just delightful to use everyday.

Had been asking for this feature in Discord, and Kilo is on JetBrains now 😍 Usually, I had to switch between VSCode and IntelliJ for coding, but this just further eases my work.

Good luck Kilocode team

I moved from Claude CLI to using this tool in my VSCode - writing a bunch of Python web-server code, a lot of unit tests and some React UI. It's going great and I don't have any reasons to switch.

Been using in vscode for my weekend projects and absolutely love it for the price/value proposition this tool has over the other IDE based ai assisted coding tools. Its a good product.

kilo code changed the game

The different modes with realtime cost estimates are game changer !
