Open-source AI code assistant for VS Code and JetBrains
About Continue
An open-source AI code assistant that integrates with VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. Continue gives developers full control over which AI models and context sources they use — from local models to cloud APIs — without lock-in to any single provider.
• Tab autocomplete — intelligent code completion powered by your choice of model • Chat interface — ask questions about your code with full codebase context • Model flexibility — use OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, or any compatible model provider • Context providers — pull in docs, terminal output, Git diffs, and other relevant context • Custom slash commands — create reusable prompts for common coding tasks • Fully open-source — inspect, modify, and self-host with complete transparency
Completely free and open-source. Bring your own API keys.
