Continue.dev is an open‑source platform that empowers developers to create, share, and deploy AI-powered, customizable coding assistants within their preferred IDE—VS Code or JetBrains. It provides four core modes—Chat, Autocomplete, Edit, and Agent—for seamless inline suggestions, natural-language code modifications, codebase insights, and broader refactoring support. You can plug in any LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models via Ollama, Mistral, etc.), and augment behavior with reusable building blocks: model, prompt, rules, MCP (multi‑tool) blocks, and customizable context sources . Continue.dev is licensed under Apache‑2.0, available for free, and backed by commercial-grade enterprise support for teams. Enterprises can maintain full data governance and deploy assistants on-premises or in the cloud, with centralized control over LLM selection, tool permissions, usage tracking, and high-level customization through policies and configurable blocks . The active open-source community on GitHub (27.8k stars) and Discord supports engagement, contributions, and continuous improvement .
