Continue.dev is a powerful AI assistant for developers, designed to be integrated directly into popular IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains. Unlike closed systems, it is open-source and model-agnostic, giving developers the freedom to use their preferred LLMs, whether they are hosted locally (e.g., Llama 3) or via services (e.g., GPT-4, Gemini). Its primary function is to provide real-time code completion, generation, and editing, making the coding process more efficient and productive.

Features:

• Model Flexibility: Supports and can be configured to use a wide range of LLMs from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more.

• Chat, Autocomplete, and Edit: Provides core functionalities for natural language conversations, code completion, and context-aware code refactoring.

• Open-Source & Local-First: Allows for a high degree of customization and ensures data privacy by supporting local model execution.

• Integrated Agentic Workflow: Can act as an agent to perform multi-step tasks like debugging or generating test cases.

• Cross-Platform IDE Support: Available as an extension for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs.

Use Cases:

• Generating boilerplate code and function stubs.

• Refactoring and improving existing code snippets.

• Debugging errors and suggesting fixes.

• Writing documentation and unit tests.
