AI coding assistant with custom agents for IDE and terminal
Continue brings AI-powered agents, chat, autocomplete, and inline editing to VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and the command line for faster development workflows.

Continue is an AI coding assistant that integrates directly into your development environment, offering intelligent agents, conversational chat, inline editing, and autocomplete across VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and the command line. Built for developers who want to accelerate their workflow without switching contexts, Continue enables you to build and run custom agents that work alongside you throughout the entire development lifecycle.
Whether you're asking questions about unfamiliar codebases, modifying code sections in-place, or receiving real-time suggestions as you type, Continue adapts to your workflow. The platform supports multiple LLM providers including Claude and Qwen, giving you control over which models power your development experience. Custom agents can be configured to handle specific development tasks, from code review to refactoring, all within your existing tools.
Continue extends beyond the editor, offering CLI integration and the ability to incorporate AI assistance into your continuous integration pipelines. This unified approach means your AI tooling scales from local development through production deployment, maintaining consistency across your entire software delivery process.
When teams consider Continue, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Onboarding to Legacy Codebases
New team members chat with AI to understand unfamiliar code sections, accelerating ramp-up time without constant senior developer interruptions.
Inline Refactoring Workflows
Developers select code blocks and request modifications in-place, maintaining context and flow while improving code quality incrementally.
CI/CD Code Review Automation
Custom agents run in continuous integration pipelines to flag potential issues, suggest improvements, and maintain coding standards automatically.
Multi-Language Development
Engineers working across Python, TypeScript, Rust, and other languages receive consistent autocomplete and assistance regardless of stack.
Continue provides native extensions for Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, and others), and a command-line interface for terminal-based workflows.
No. Continue supports multiple LLM providers including Claude, Qwen, and others, allowing you to choose models based on your requirements, budget, and data policies.
Yes. Continue is designed to support custom agent development, enabling you to create AI assistants tailored to your organization's coding standards and processes.
Continue's Apache 2.0 license and multi-provider architecture make it adaptable for enterprise use, though you'll need to manage LLM provider relationships and any required compliance configurations.
Continue offers CLI support that allows you to incorporate AI agents into continuous integration workflows, enabling automated code analysis and suggestions during the build process.
