Powerful AI Assisted Development
For full documentation visit continue.dev.
Continue AI is an open-source AI code assistant and autonomous agent designed to help developers write, edit, test, and debug software directly from their IDE. It functions as a powerful, free, and highly customizable alternative to services like GitHub Copilot.
Core Features
-
AI Chat & Auto-complete: Get inline code suggestions as you type and use a chat interface to ask questions about your codebase, debug errors, or explain code.
-
Context Awareness: The AI understands your current files, terminal errors, and custom documentation (via local RAG), allowing it to provide relevant answers without generic filler.
-
Agent Mode (Continuous AI): Automate end-to-end tasks like bug fixes, pull request (PR) reviews, and documentation updates across your entire codebase.
-
Source-Controlled PR Checks: Set up markdown rules in your repo to automatically run AI checks on every PR, ensuring code quality standards are met before merging.
Flexibility & Privacy
Unlike closed-source extensions, Continue allows you to choose your Large Language Models (LLMs). You can use cloud-based models (such as Claude or OpenAI) or strictly run private, local models on your machine (via tools like Ollama) to maintain data privacy.
