I’ve been using Kilo Code for a while, and this update feels noticeably faster.

The parallel tool calls are the part I felt right away. It doesn’t sit around waiting as much, especially on bigger tasks where it needs to search files, read code, or run commands. The Agent Manager is also really nice if you’re juggling a few things at once without wanting everything mixed together.

Inline review on diffs is probably my favorite addition. It makes giving feedback to the agent feel a lot closer to how I’d review a teammate’s PR.

Overall, this is a really strong update. Kilo is becoming one of the few coding tools I actually keep coming back to.

@matheusgomes062 thanks, that's great to hear! Also thank you for joining our webinar earlier today!

@matheusgomes062 Thank you! I agree - parallel tool calling makes the whole experience move much faster.

@matheusgomes062 that's great to hear, thanks for sharing!

A lot of people hit a breaking point when agents start generating more diffs than they can confidently review—how did you design the inline diff reviewer + line-comment-to-chat loop to reduce review fatigue, and what review metrics (time-to-approval, revert rate, “second pass” prompts) are you tracking to prove it works?
Brian Turcotte

@curiouskitty Good question!

We offer both local reviews in the extension and automated reviews on Github and GitLab PRs.

You can specify the strictness in both cases, so that you can filter down to the review points you actually care about.

How does the multi agent system comparison handle tokens ? does it run them all in the background simultaneously ? btw Congrats on the launch :)

Brian Turcotte

@farhan_nazir55 Thank you!

And yes, while you can bring your own keys or use local models, most users pay for inference via the Kilo Gateway, which lets you switch freely between models using one balance.

You just pay for token at provider costs - whatever Anthropic charges for Opus, and whatever OpenAI charges for GPT, that's what you pay!

Job Rietbergen

@farhan_nazir55 it runs them on separated git worktrees

Carter Garcia

The line level review comments on agent diffs is a really smart UX call. Feels like the missing link between AI wrote this and I actually trust this going to prod.

Brian Turcotte

@carter_garcia I agree! And it helps to get a local review as a sanity check before shipping to a public repo

Job Rietbergen

@carter_garcia yeah it's very helpful for my daily workflows

Elijah Smith

Rebuilt from scratch on OpenCode server and still GA'd,  that's not a small thing. Most teams would've shipped a half-baked beta and called it done.

thank you! S/O to the team for the amazing work

Olesya Elfimova

@elijah_smith6 that's not how we do things at Kilo. We ship, we get feedback, we iterate iterate iterate. Here's a quick recap of the journey: https://blog.kilo.ai/p/were-back-on-product-hunt-new-vs-code

@elijah_smith6 Thanks for the kind words!

@elijah_smith6 thank you

Sam Rivera

been looking for something like this, the ai coding space is getting crowded but this looks focused

Job Rietbergen

@sam_rivera keen to hear what you think about it

Alexandru Rada

this is great. Going to use it for building ActorDo.
KiloCode works as a good alternative to github copilot

Job Rietbergen

@alxrda thanks, love to hear what you think coming from copilot.
