Overview

Continue.dev is an open-source AI coding assistant for VS Code and JetBrains that offers chat, inline edit, autocomplete and an agent mode for larger codebase changes. It gathers context from your workspace, open files and Git diffs, and connects to a wide range of models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google as well as local models via Ollama. It also lets teams define markdown-based, source-controlled review checks that run as native GitHub status checks.

RECATOOLS Verdict

Continue.dev appeals to developers who want a flexible, open-source assistant that respects model choice — including fully local, private setups via Ollama — across both VS Code and JetBrains. The four-mode design (chat, edit, autocomplete, agent) covers the common assistant use cases, and the source-controlled CI checks are a thoughtful addition for teams.

Configurability is its strength and its cost: getting the best results means picking and wiring up models yourself. For teams that value openness and privacy over a turnkey experience, it's a solid, low-risk choice.
