Kilo

Kilo Code is a fully open-source, MIT-licensed AI coding assistant and agentic engineering platform designed to run seamlessly across all major developer environments. Built as a flexible, high-visibility alternative to closed-source tools, it allows engineers to write, refactor, debug, and orchestrate complex features without being locked into a single AI provider or facing expensive markups.
