Kilo Code has launched Kilo for Slack, an AI agent allowing developers to execute code and pull requests directly within chat. Backed by an 8 million dollar seed round and GitLab cofounder Sid Sijbrandij, the tool uses the MiniMax M2.1 model to maintain multi-repo context across complex threads. By embedding AI where decisions actually happen, Kilo reduces context switching and challenges IDE centric models. This signifies a shift toward workflow centric AI that integrates communication directly into the production pipeline. π
