This article explores how AI developer tools are moving beyond the IDE to reduce context switching across Slack, cloud agents, and coding workflows.

Most AI dev tools live in the IDE, but half the work starts in Slack threads, which means you spend your day copy-pasting context between the two. Kilo for Slack is a bot you @-mention in any thread. It reads the conversation, accesses your connected repos, and either answers or spins up a Cloud Agent that opens a PR. Same credits, same 500+ models, same Sessions that carry across VS Code, JetBrains, and the CLI. Not a separate chatbot wearing a Slack costume, the same Kilo agent, just reachable from where the work already is.
