Continue.dev
Open-source AI code assistant.
- What is Continue.dev?
- Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant that runs as an extension inside VS Code and JetBrains IDEs.
- What does it do?
- Adds chat, inline edits, autocomplete and agent-style file changes in the editor, connected to whichever hosted or local model you configure. Rules, prompts, context providers and MCP tools are defined in config files a team can share.
- Who is it for?
- Developers who want to pick or self-host the model behind their assistant, and teams with privacy or policy rules that prevent sending source code to a single fixed vendor.
- What are the alternatives to Continue.dev?
- GitHub Copilot and Cursor are the polished commercial products. Cline and Roo Code are open-source agents inside VS Code, and Aider works from the terminal against your Git repo.
