Continue.dev
by Continue
Continue.dev is an open-source, model-agnostic AI coding assistant extension for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs that lets developers plug in their own model API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or local models via Ollama). It provides AI-powered autocomplete, chat, and codebase-aware code generation through configurable context providers that can index local codebases, documentation, and repositories. As a self-hostable, bring-your-own-model tool, it competes with GitHub Copilot while offering significantly more flexibility and no vendor lock-in.
