Roo Code

AI has dropped the bar to ship ideas, but there's a lot of slop flying around now.

Most orgs aren't ready for the reality of AI Slop!

The Roo Code Slack integration makes moving fast easier. Adding AI Code Reviews (Rooviews) makes moving fast safer. Faster Coding needs Faster Code Reviews.

Six months without writing a single line of code. Every change goes through AI, even the one-liners. Roo Code has shifted the meta from typing code to typing thoughts.

A month to a week isn't magic, it's removing what slows you down. Roo Code handles the grunt work. You guide, Roo Code executes. The result? More working code, less time wasted.

Roo Code: Open Source Alternative to Cursor, Kiro and Claude Code Open-source AI coding assistant with multi-file editing, agentic workflows, and model flexibility. Transform your VS Code into an intelligent development environment.

🎙️ Episode 15 of Roo Code Office Hours is live!

youtu.be/mi-3BxpZRgM

This week, we put the new Grok-4 model to the ultimate test: building a full web-based game arcade from scratch in one session. Watch to see how it handles the complex task, and whether it succeeds or fails.

Meet the new Open-weight model from Moonshot AI , Kimi K2 in Roo Code! With an 84.1% pass rate in our own Roo Evals and incredible speed from Groq, it's perfect for demanding tasks like translations that need quick responses.

Just added Kimi K2 to Roo Code (via Groq on OpenRouter). Fastest high-accuracy coding model we’ve tested. 84% pass rate, GPT-4.1-level quality, ~6h eval run — but at a steep cost. Great for translation & speed-critical tasks.

A Quick Codebase Indexing Tutorial

#RooCode #CodebaseIndexing #SemanticSearch #DeveloperTools #AIcoding #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment #DevCommunity #TechTips

Semantic search or agentic exploration? Wrong question.

Roo Code uses both. We index your codebase for semantic search, then use ripgrep-style exploration to dig deeper.

It’s not either-or. It’s a pipeline.

docs.roocode.com/features/cod...

Agentic codebase exploration vs indexing is the wrong debate.
What we’ve seen is that combining both unlocks far more than either alone.

Try agentic codebase exploration + indexing in Roo Code. docs.roocode.com/features/cod...

Roo Code now auto-generates a task checklist to break down goals and stay focused, step by step. Less confusion, fewer bugs, more progress.
