Agentic coding, without losing control
The appeal of agentic tools is obvious: describe the outcome, let the tool do the mechanical work. The risk is equally obvious — edits you did not read. OLKIL is built so AI proposals stay reviewable before they touch your project.
What OLKIL brings
- AI grounded in your repository, not just the open buffer
- A desktop IDE that stays responsive on big codebases
- No paid plan required to evaluate it properly
Making the call
If your team already runs Windsurf end to end, switching has a cost. But if you are still evaluating agentic editors — or want a free second tool to sanity-check output — install OLKIL and compare on the same task.
