Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant that ships as a VS Code extension, JetBrains plugin, and CLI. You bring your own model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, vLLM, local) and configure agents, rules, and prompts as version-controlled YAML in the repo. The Continue CLI runs the same agents headlessly, so AI code review and policy checks become enforceable steps in CI pipelines.
Editor's verdict
Pick Continue when you want Cursor-like inline AI but need self-hosted models, BYO-key freedom, or repo-versioned agent configs that the whole team shares. The CI integration is the differentiator — useful for teams enforcing AI review gates. Trade-off: the editor UX is a step behind Cursor and Copilot in polish, and tab-completion quality depends heavily on the model you wire up. Skip it if you just want the smoothest out-of-the-box experience and don't care about openness.
