Open-source AI code assistant that operates directly inside your IDE

Overview

Continue is a highly customizable, open-source AI assistant for VS Code and JetBrains. Unlike proprietary copilots, Continue allows you to easily plug in any local (Ollama) or remote (OpenAI, Anthropic) models.

Key Features

Context Gathering: Easily highlight code or files and add them to the context window.
Tab Autocomplete: Free, local tab-autocomplete support using models like Starcoder or DeepSeek Coder.
Custom Commands: Create custom /commands to perform repetitive tasks or run your own scripts.

TODO: Add config.json examples for hooking up local Ollama models to Continue.
