Continue

Continue is an open-source AI coding agent and developer tooling project built around IDE-first coding workflows. It helps developers use AI for codebase-aware chat, edits, autocomplete, and agent-style assistance while keeping the underlying tooling inspectable and customizable. The project is especially relevant for technical founders and developers who want more control than closed coding assistants usually provide. Continue can be used as a foundation for custom internal developer tools, model-routing experiments, IDE workflows, and AI coding systems that need access to code context. Continue was acquired by Cursor, but its official site states that the open-source codebase remains available and can continue serving as a foundation for builders. That makes it useful for teams that care about open-source AI development workflows and want to study or extend an established coding-agent project. For FutureStack, Continue belongs in Coding because it targets the same high-intent audience as Cursor, Cline, Aider, Kilo Code, and Claude Code. It is best for developers, SaaS builders, and technical founders exploring open-source AI coding infrastructure.
