Continue is a powerful AI-driven development platform designed to accelerate software delivery by automating repetitive coding tasks. It allows developers to delegate mundane work to AI agents, freeing up time for creative problem-solving. Key features include:
- Mission Control GUI: Launch and manage background agents with pre-built workflows for tools like GitHub, Sentry, and Snyk, customizable with prompts, models, and MCP tools.
- Continue CLI: Execute workflows directly from the terminal for fast iteration, scripting, and real-time debugging in REPL-mode.
- CI/CD Integration: Deploy workflows in existing pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins) for scalable automation on your infrastructure.
- IDE Support: Trigger agents from VS Code or JetBrains IDEs to handle tasks like refactoring while you code.
- Flexible Models and Context: Supports various AI models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and integrates with codebases, GitLab issues, and documentation.
Use cases include automating pull request triage, fixing vulnerabilities, managing CMS schemas, and optimizing builds, making it ideal for developers and teams seeking to enhance productivity with AI automation.
