Continue is an open-source coding agent designed to assist developers in their workflows by amplifying, rather than automating, their contributions. The tool focuses on enhancing developer productivity and serves as a foundation for AI-powered development tools. It was built with the goal of providing intelligent assistance while keeping developers in control.
A sandbox is provisioned as a tool only when the agent needs to execute code or work with files. TrueFoundry says that reduces unnecessary compute.
Adversa AI says GuardFall bypassed safety checks in 10 of 11 AI coding agents by exploiting how Bash rewrites commands before execution.
The best AI coding assistants in 2026 ranked: Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Claude Code, Cline, Aider, Continue.dev on price, IDE reach, agent mode.
