Kilo Code plus VS Code is insane free. Today I'm going to show you Kilo Code and it's about to change how you code forever. This free AI agent lives inside VS Code and can build entire apps by itself. I'm talking about an AI that combines the best features of Klein and Rue and adds even more on top. While developers are paying hundreds for other coding tools, Kilo Code is completely open- source and free. So Kilo Code just launched and it's blowing up. This is an open- source VS Code extension that's basically a supererset of Klein and Rue combined. If you don't know what those are, they're two of the most popular AI coding assistants out there. And Kilo took everything good about both of them and added a ton of new features. The crazy part is it's completely free. Over 420,000 developers have already downloaded it. Let me explain what makes Kilo Code different. Most AI coding tools just autocomplete your code or answer questions. That's helpful, but it's limited. Kilo Code is an actual AI agent. It can plan entire projects, write the code, fix bugs, and even deploy your app all by itself. You just tell it what you want to build, and it does everything. Hey, if we haven't met already, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of SEO agency Goldie Agency. Whilst he's helping clients get more leads and customers, I'm here to help you get the latest AI updates. Here's how it works. You open VS Code, install the Kilo code extension, connect it to an AI model like Claude or GPT4, then you start chatting with it. You can say, "Build me a to-do app with a database and user authentication." Kilo code will break down that request into steps. Create the file structure, write the front-end code, set up the back end, configure the database, add the authentication, test everything, fix any bugs, and keep going until it works. You can watch it work in real time, see it create files, write code, run commands. It's like having a senior developer sitting next to you doing the work. Let me show you what I tested. All right, first test was building a simple web app. I asked Kylo Code to build a blog platform with posts, comments, and user accounts. Gave it some basic requirements, modern design, fast performance, mobile responsive. Kilo code started working immediately. It created the entire project structure. set up React for the front end, Node and Express for the back end, MongoDB for the database, wrote all the components, created the API endpoints, added styling with Tailwind, set up authentication with JWT, built the comment system, added form of validation, created error handling. The whole thing took about 20 minutes, and it worked perfectly on the first try. No bugs, no missing features, just a complete working app. This makes working on large projects way easier. Let's say you inherit a codebase with no documentation, thousands of lines of code, you have no idea how anything works. With Kilo Code, you can just ask questions. How does this feature work? Why did they structure it this way? What happens when a user does this action? Kilo Code will explain everything, show you the relevant code, help you understand the architecture. It's like having the original developer available to answer questions, except it's instant, and it never gets annoyed. Another powerful feature is custom modes. You can create specialized versions of Kalo code for different tasks. Security mode for finding vulnerabilities, performance mode for optimization, documentation mode for writing docs, testing mode for creating tests. Each mode has different instructions and priorities. Security mode looks for scale injection, access vulnerabilities, authentication issues, everything. Performance mode focuses on speed, memory usage, load times. Documentation mode writes clear, helpful comments, and readme files. You customize it for exactly what you need. Before we keep going, if you want to learn how to actually make money with AI tools like this, join my AI profit boardroom. Best place to scale your business, get more customers, and save hundreds with AI automation. We're building real businesses with real results inside. All right, back to Kilo Code. Kilo code will create a plan, show you all the steps it's going to take. Review the plan, make sure it understood correctly, then tell it to start building. Watch it work. It will create files, write code, run commands. You can see everything happening in real time. If something goes wrong, it will debug it. Try different approaches. Keep going until it works. Once it's done, test the app. Make sure everything works how you want. If you need changes, just tell Cal code, "Add this feature. Change this color. Make this faster. It will update the code immediately. Now let me give you some power prompts for building new apps. Try this. Build me app name for target users. Key features are list the features. Use text stack for the technology. Modern design with specific style. Mobile responsive fast performance. Include proper error handling. For debugging. Try this. This app has this problem. Analyze the codebase and find the bug. Explain what's causing it. Then fix it and test the solution. For adding features, try this. Add feature name to this project. Integrate it with existing functionality. Match the current code style and structure. Include tests. For optimization, try this. Review this codebase for performance issues. Find slow queries, memory leaks, and inefficient code. Refactor everything to improve speed and efficiency. These prompts work because they're clear and specific. They give coil code context, direction, goals. The AI knows exactly what you want. Now, here's the thing about timing. Kilo Code is new. Most developers don't know about it yet. This is your window. Learn it now. Become an expert. Build your systems. Create your workflows. When everyone else catches on, you'll already be way ahead. You'll have case studies, portfolio projects, testimonials. You'll be the established expert. That positioning is worth more than any tool. Now, let me address concerns. Concern one is what if Kilo Code makes mistakes? It will. No AI is perfect, but that's why you review the code, test everything, make sure it works. You're not just blindly accepting everything. You You're the quality control. The AI does 80 to 90% of the work. You do the final polish. That's still way faster than doing everything yourself. Concern two is what if clients don't want AI written code? They won't know. And honestly, they don't care. They care about results. Does it work? Is it fast? Is it secure? If yes, they're happy. How you built it doesn't matter. Concern three is what about learning and skill development? Using kilo code actually helps you learn. You see how it structures code, how it solves problems, what patterns it uses. You learn by watching. Plus, you can ask it to explain anything. It's like having a mentor. Another strategy is creating systems and templates. Every time you build something with kilo code, save the prompts, save the structure, save the patterns, build a library of templates. Then you can reuse them for future projects. Each project gets faster. You're not starting from scratch every time. You're building on what you've already done. This compounds over time. Your first project might take a week. Your 10th project takes a day. Your hundth project takes hours. That's the power of systems. Let me give you some specific niches that work well with kilo code sas tools for specific industries like a CRM for dentists or a scheduleuler for fitness coaches. These are small focused products easy to build with AI. High value to the right customer. Local business tools, appointment booking systems, inventory management, customer portals. Local businesses need this stuff. They'll pay monthly. Stack 20 or 30 clients. That's serious recurring revenue. Internal tools for agencies. Most agencies have messy workflows. They need custom tools. Build them, charge monthly retainers. Is recurring revenue from businesses that can afford it. Let me give you some resources to learn more. The Keyo Code GitHub has great documentation. Read through it. The Kilo Code Discord is active. Ask questions. See what others are building. YouTube has tutorials. Search for Kilo Code tutorials. Watch a few. Get comfortable with it. Twitter has a community too. Follow developers using Kilo Code, see their tips and tricks, learn from their experiences. One more thing about Kylo Code, it's open source. That means you can modify it, customize it, make it work exactly how you want. You can add features, remove things you don't need, integrate it with your own tools. The possibilities are endless. And because it's open source, it's always improving. Developers around the world are contributing, adding features, fixing bugs, making it better. You're not dependent on one company. The community owns it. That's powerful. All right, let's wrap this up. Kilo Code Plus VS Code is a gamecher for developers and entrepreneurs. It's a free open- source AI agent that can plan, build, debug, and optimize code. It combines the best features of client and rue with tons of extras. Over 420,000 developers are already using it. This is your opportunity. Learn the tool, build with it, start offering services.
