Welcome to this week's roundup! This week, we launched App Builder, shipped slash commands in Cloud Agents, made improvements to Code Reviews, and landed a solid set of Agent Manager and autocomplete improvements.
New Features
App Builder: Lovable for serious projects
App Builder allows you to build and deploy websites and apps through conversation with a real-time preview. No setup, no config. Go from idea to production URL in minutes.
When you're ready, you can export the code and continue with deeper engineering in the Kilo CLI or IDE.
Cloud Agents: Slash Commands
Cloud Agents now support slash commands. Type / in the chat input to pull up an autocomplete dropdown with predefined command templates.
Navigate commands with arrow keys, Enter, or Tab. Hit Escape to dismiss. A "Browse Commands" dialog lets you view everything available, and you can enable or disable command sets based on your workflow.
Code Reviews: Less Spam, More Signal
Code Reviews got a major quality-of-life update. Summary comments are now smarter about detecting existing review comments, so you won't see duplicate or redundant notifications cluttering your PRs.
Extension
Autocomplete
Snooze option --- You can now temporarily snooze autocomplete from settings, useful when you need a break from suggestions without fully disabling the feature.
Telemetry --- Both VS Code and JetBrains extensions now include autocomplete telemetry to help us improve suggestion quality.
Agent Manager Improvements
The Agent Manager received several updates this week:
Branch picker in worktree mode --- You can now select which base branch to use when launching agents in worktree mode, giving you more control over your parallel workflows.
Terminal switching --- When you switch between sessions, existing session terminals are now revealed automatically instead of creating new ones.
Managed Indexing
Improved error handling and backoff logic for the managed indexer, making it more resilient when indexing large or complex repositories.\
CLI
Markdown Theming for Reasoning
The Reasoning box in CLI now supports markdown theming, making extended thinking output more readable.
Install & Update:
npm install -g @kilocode/cli
New Models
Gemini 3 Flash Preview added to Vertex provider
GLM-4.6V model support added for Z.ai provider
Z.ai model selection now available below the prompt input
Upstream Sync (Roo Code v3.36.6)
This release includes a sync from Roo Code, bringing:
GPT-5.2 model added to openai-native provider
New search_replace native tool for single-replacement operations
Tool alias support for model-specific tool customization
Unified context-management architecture with improved UX
DeepSeek models updated to V3.2 with new pricing
Architect mode now saves plans to /plans directory (gitignored)
Minimal and medium reasoning effort levels for Gemini models
