What is Continue.dev?

Continue.dev is an open-source AI code assistant that integrates seamlessly with popular development environments like VS Code and JetBrains. It aims to boost developer productivity by providing access to various AI models, whether local or cloud-based, directly within the code editor.

The Problem It Solves

Developers often have to switch between their code editor and external interfaces to use AI tools, which distracts focus and slows down workflow. Also, concerns about code privacy prevent some from using cloud-based solutions. Continue.dev offers a unified and secure solution that brings AI into the development environment itself, with options to run models locally to ensure complete confidentiality.
