Continue: Open-Source AI Coding Assistant

Continue gives you full control over your AI coding experience. As an open-source extension, it allows you to choose exactly which models you want to use—whether they are cloud-based (like GPT-4) or running locally (via Ollama).

Customizable Workflows

With Continue, you can define your own "Slash Commands" and "Context Providers." This allows you to tailor the AI to your specific project needs, such as asking it to "write documentation for this file" or "generate a unit test based on our internal patterns."

Data Privacy and Local-First

By supporting local models, Continue ensures that your code never leaves your machine. This is a game-changer for developers working on sensitive or proprietary projects who want the benefits of AI assistance without the privacy risks associated with cloud-based tools.
