AI-ASSISTANTS
Velocity0.0

Open-source AI code assistant for IDEs with custom autocomplete and chat

www.continue.dev ↗

Continue is pushing its coding assistant from in-editor edits toward agent fleets and PR workflows.

ai-codingagentsmcpmodel-integrationscode-reviewdeveloper-tools
◆Current state
Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant spanning VS Code, JetBrains, and a CLI. Recent releases broadened model support (GPT-5 Codex, Grok Code Fast 1), made edits apply instantly, and standardized MCP server configuration via JSON, while newer work (Shareable Agents, a Code Review Inbox) extends it beyond single-file editing toward shareable workflows and PR triage.
◆Where it's heading
The direction is from interactive editor assistant to agent platform: shareable agents, a PR review inbox, remote and background agents, and broad MCP support all point toward Continue orchestrating work across repos and surfaces rather than just completing code in one file.
◆Prediction
Expect continued investment in the agent and PR-workflow surface around the Code Review Inbox, plus rapid adoption of new frontier models given the cadence of model integrations across these releases.
