Hot off the press! OSS AI coding assistant @Kilo Code just announced a $8 Million raise in seed funding.
@scobreit wrote in their blog announcement:
This funding accelerates our roadmap: smarter multi-agent collaboration, enterprise-grade tooling for technical leaders, and a feature set that continues to accelerate the AI flywheel for development teams using Kilo.
Kilo Code is an open-source, model-agnostic AI code assistant with transparent pricing.
First launched 6 months ago and after 420,000+ downloads on @VS Code and @Cursor, the team is bringing it to the @JetBrains ecosystem (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm...) and they will be live on @Product Hunt this Sunday, September 28.
When you start prepping a launch on Product Hunt, you may read here and there stories, how-tos, step-by-step guides, and playbooks. This is another, different story.
I had the opportunity to work with the @Kilo Code team on their launch. We ranked #1 Product of the Day and #1 OSS Product of the Week although we didn't apply most of the pro tips you may read on the Internet.
Kilo AI is an AI-powered extension for VS Code which writes, fixes and improves your code through simple chat. Tuned with the fastest models we could find, it can create and modify files, run command line prompts, and much more.
