Introduction

Continue is a powerful open-source platform designed for modern developers, built to seamlessly integrate advanced AI technology into your workflow. It installs directly into the VS Code and JetBrains IDEs you already know and love, enhancing your coding experience through a customizable AI assistant that makes programming smarter and more efficient.

Key Features

• Intelligent Chat Assistant: Chat directly with AI inside your IDE to get code explanations, technical advice, and answers to your questions.
• Context-Aware Autocomplete: Receive smarter code suggestions that go beyond traditional completion, significantly boosting your coding speed.
• Powerful Editing Capabilities: Generate, refactor, and optimize code snippets based on natural language instructions.
• Custom Agent Workflows: Create and deploy automated AI agents to handle repetitive development tasks.

Highlights

• Fully open-source and highly customizable, giving you complete control over its behavior unlike closed-source assistants.
• Privacy-first design: all data processing can be done locally to ensure your code remains secure.
• Seamless IDE integration lets you harness the power of AI without switching interfaces, enabling truly immersive, distraction-free coding.

Who It's For

Continue is the ideal choice for a wide range of software developers, especially full-stack developers looking to dramatically improve coding efficiency, students and beginners who want an AI companion while learning to program, and technical leads or engineering managers seeking to deploy a standardized, customizable AI coding tool across their entire team.
