Continue enables you to create, share, and use custom AI code assistants. Our open-source IDE extensions fit into your existing workflows, while letting you leverage our vibrant hub of models, context, and tools.
I'm Nate, co-founder at Continue. Today we're launching Continue 1.0: a major upgrade in reliability for our VS Code and JetBrains extensions along with hub.continue.dev, the easiest place to build and share custom AI code assistants. ✨
For over a year, we've seen the Continue community use custom prompts, rules, models, and more. While immense value has come from customization, it was still difficult. We're trying to solve that.
With its large and growing ecosystem of pre-built "blocks", we hope that hub.continue.dev will make it frictionless for anyone to use a custom coding assistant, or share what you've built with others.
Already the hub includes hundreds of blocks:
🦙 Models - frontier LLMs from more than a dozen providers
📚 Prompts - codify complex tasks to be reused with just a slash command
✅ Rules - instructions that ensure every response follows your preferred practices
🌐 Docs - give your LLM the latest information about your specific tech stack
🛠️ MCP - a large library of custom tools, powered by the Model Context Protocol
...and it only just went live. If you've ever used an AI code assistant and wished it knew a bit more about your development practices, then Continue is for you. I can't wait to see what you all build!
Happy hunting,
Nate
