Continue: Open-source AI coding agent CLI
Multi-LLM coding agent with interactive and automated modes.
Learn more about Continue
Continue is a CLI-based coding agent that runs in multiple modes: TUI (terminal user interface) for interactive use, headless for background automation, and as IDE extensions for VS Code and JetBrains. The tool connects to various LLM providers including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Qwen to execute coding tasks and workflows. It supports event-driven automation through PR triggers, scheduled execution, and custom event handlers. The architecture allows agents to execute workflows step-by-step with optional human approval at decision points.
Multi-Mode Execution
Run the same agent logic in TUI for interactive workflows, headless for CI/CD automation, or as IDE plugins for VS Code and JetBrains. No code changes required when switching between modes—agents adapt to the execution context automatically.
Event-Driven Automation
Workflows trigger on PR events, scheduled intervals, or custom event sources with configurable approval gates. Agents execute autonomously for trusted operations or require step-by-step human approval for sensitive changes.
Multi-Provider LLM Support
Connects to multiple LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, and custom endpoints through a unified interface. Switch between providers without changing code, optimizing for cost, latency, or capability requirements.
