I've been working with agents since before they were useful, but this is my first time looking into Kilo Code.
Overall my experience is positive, I really like what you guys are up to.
Here's what I like:
- The step chart and token use visualization at the top is cool. As a visual person, I'd like us to start introducing more charts, visualizations, and graphs into the agentic coding process.
- The enhance prompt feature is a nice touch, I haven't noticed that anywhere else
- The built in diff viewer is great, it replaces gitlens for me, and the fact that you can comment on the diffs and add them to the working context makes it even better
Here's what I love:
- The worktrees implementation is chef's kiss
- Running parallel LLMs on the same problem. I have this exact implementation in one of my personal tools and I love it. When it comes to coding the cost might be prohibitive though, but I love the idea of having something like this available.
What I don't like:
- The auth flow with Linux+Cursor+Brave was rough around the edges, I went through the same motion 5x before realizing I'm actually logged in, but the sign in panel didn't disappear. Anyway, maybe something for you guys to look into.
Overall solid work Kilo Code team, I'm impressed and curious to see how the project develops.

@Kilo Code is so back on @Product Hunt.
Four months ago, the team launched a new @VS Code extension. #1 Product of the Month, the community loved it.
Today, we’re shipping a native plugin for @JetBrains. Rebuilt from the ground up in Kotlin with Swift UI, designed for both local and remote dev, the plugin brings first-class AI coding assistance to IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, and other JetBrains IDEs: parallel agents, GitHub PRs and diffs inline, 500+ models...

Looking forward to seeing what you're building with @Kilo Code.

For me, the BYOK option is a valuable feature that giving developers greater control over their preferred models and API providers.
Kilo Code
spot on - some tools want to lock you into one editor, one workflow, one way of doing things. @Kilo Code is different. the mission is to build an all-in-one, agentic AI platform that supports you wherever you are.
Native is the key word here. I've tried extensions that just wrap a web view inside JetBrains and they always feel bolted on.
Promomix
surprisingly good! i also like that it supports local models through Ollama and LM Studio. not everyone wants to rely only on hosted AI.
Kilo Code
exactly - @Kilo Code is building an all-in-one, agentic AI platform that supports you wherever you are. you should get to choose how you work: your GUI, your model, your workflow.
enjoy! kilo.ai/install
I like the idea of seeing PRs and diffs right inside the IDE. It should make checking AI changes much less annoying.

@landon_matthew It's really helpful to see what changed, especially if you're using agent manager to change things on separate worktrees.
Kilo Code
yes, and to learn more about the agent manager, see docs: kilo.ai/docs/automate/agent-manager
Bababot
this looks especially helpful for larger changes where understanding the project structure is just as important as writting the code itself.
Openfort
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
