Continuedev

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

Continue is an open-source AI code assistant for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs — inline autocomplete, chat panel, edit mode, agent mode. Connect any LLM (Ollama for local, OpenAI / Anthropic for cloud). The Cursor / GitHub Copilot alternative that respects your privacy.

This BluixApps install hosts the documentation + config landing page. The actual assistant runs in your IDE.

What it's for

  • Inline code autocomplete — Copilot-style suggestions while typing
  • Chat with codebase — RAG over your local repos
  • Edit mode — describe a change, Continue patches code
  • Agent mode — multi-step refactors
  • Self-hosted LLM coding — pair with Ollama, fully local
