Continue is the leading open-source AI code assistant designed to amplify developers and automate software development. It seamlessly integrates with popular IDEs like Visual Studio Code and JetBrains, allowing developers to connect any AI models and context to build custom autocomplete and chat experiences directly within their coding environment. Founded in 2023 and based in San Francisco, Continue aims to streamline the coding process by bringing the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and Code Llama directly into the IDE, eliminating the need for constant copying and pasting from external AI assistants.

With features such as code autocomplete, chat-based assistance, and natural language code editing, Continue allows developers to customize their AI development system by connecting different language models and context sources, enhancing productivity and enabling seamless coding experiences. It supports connection to various AI models like OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and local options like Ollama, and integrates with multiple context sources including codebase, documentation, GitLab issues, and Confluence pages.
