Roo Code says IDE era is over, ends VS Code plugin and launches Roomote autonomous agent
Open-source AI coding tool Roo Code will end its VS Code extension, cloud and router services on May 15 and shift toward an autonomous agent that works outside an integrated development environment. It has unveiled a cloud-based coding agent, Roomote, that connects with tools such as Slack, GitHub and Linear to handle tasks end-to-end and generate pull requests and changes for developers to review. CEO Matt Rubens said agents could eliminate certain types of work.
