Introduction to Kilo Code
The video targets developers concerned about AI tools breaking their codebase. The presenter has used Kilo Code for weeks and is impressed.
[00:15]
Kilo Code's Background
Founded by the co-founder of GitLab, Kilo Code is completely open-source and has grown rapidly with over 400,000 downloads in 6 months.
[00:28]
Key Modes
Kilo Code offers several modes: architect mode for planning and designing complex features, code mode for implementing features, ask mode, debug mode for solving issues, and an orchestrator for breaking down complex tasks.
[00:40]
Model Flexibility
Users can choose from a large number of AI models, providing flexibility based on needs.
[00:54]
Architect Mode in Action
In architect mode, the presenter asks it to analyze a specific module. It generates mermaid diagrams to visualize the codebase and identifies key components, aiding in planning new features.
[01:06]
Cost and Plans
Kilo Code is free to use; users only pay for the AI models with no hidden markup or extra fees. A team plan is available for additional features.

[00:02] of AI tools breaking your codebase, this is for you. I've been using Kilo Code as my AI agent for the past few weeks, and I have to say I'm impressed by what it can do. Kilo Code was founded by the co-founder of GitLab. It's completely
[00:15] open- source, and it's growing rapidly with more than 400,000 downloads in just 6 months. Here's what stands out to me compared to other AI coding agents. It comes with a couple of modes. an architect mode for planning and
[00:28] designing complex features, a code mode for implementing features, an ask mode, a debug mode to help you solve any issues, and an orchestrator to help you break down complex tasks. You also get to choose which AI model you want to
[00:40] use, and you really get a large number of options here. Here's an example in architect mode where I'm asking it to analyze my project and I'm giving it the specific module I wanted to take a look at. And for me as a software architect,
[00:54] mermaid diagrams that can give me codebase. It can also identify key And from here, you can move on to the
[01:06] new features. If you're wondering what it costs, Kilo Code is free to use. You'll only pay for the AI models and there's no hidden markup or any extra fees. If you need more features, you can always upgrade to the team's plan. And
