Full agentic coding, backed by Kilo's managed infrastructure, without opening a laptop. → Connect to your desktop sessions Pair with a Kilo session running in Kilo CLI or VS Code on your computer. Send instructions, review diffs, and keep an eye on long-running tasks while you're away from the desk. → Watch your agents in real time See sessions running outside the app — CLI, IDE, Slack, or cloud — in a live read-only view. Know what your agents are doing, even when you can't intervene. → Review pull requests Paste a GitHub PR link to see checks and full file diffs with syntax highlighting. Leave line-level comments, batch them into a review, approve, reply in threads, and merge. → Work by voice, or from anywhere Dictate prompts instead of typing. Queue follow-ups while an agent is working. Attach any file type. Share links, text, and files into Kilo from any app's share sheet. → Get pinged when an agent needs you Push notifications when a session needs input, hits a milestone, or your balance runs low. An "Active now" tray keeps live sessions at the top with NEEDS INPUT badges.
