Let's start with you. Who are you, what do you do, and what does your company build?

I'm Brian Turcotte, a founding Developer Relations Engineer at Kilo, which was recently acquired by Anaconda. Kilo is an open-source AI coding agent available as VS Code and JetBrains extensions, a CLI, Cloud Agents, and Code Reviews. It's model-agnostic, so developers can choose from 500+ models, including the latest frontier and open-weights releases.

At Kilo and Anaconda, I lead product launches and create educational videos, technical walkthroughs, and written and visual content for our blog, social channels, and website. I also partner with AI model providers on promotional events and help improve our documentation.
