Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant that integrates directly into your IDE to help with code generation, editing, chat, and automation through custom agents and workflows. It works with VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, offering extensions for autocomplete, chat, and agent features right in your editor. It's fully open-source, so you can customize everything from models and prompts to workflows and integrations. You can connect any AI model you want, including local ones or providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or others through compatible APIs. Key features include tab autocomplete, inline code editing, chat for explanations or generation, and agent mode for handling complex tasks with tools and context. It excels with local models for privacy and speed, and many users run it with tools like Ollama or LM Studio for completely offline setups.
