Continue.dev
Overview
Continue is an open-source autopilot tool for software development that can be used as a Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension. It integrates ChatGPT's capabilities into the IDE, allowing developers to generate, refactor, and explain sections of code with ease.One of the key features of Continue is the ability to answer coding questions.
By highlighting a section of code, developers can ask Continue for alternative perspectives on how to approach a coding problem. Examples of questions that can be asked include setting up a Prisma schema that cascades deletes, determining the appropriate location for making a backend request within a web page, or establishing communication between iframes.Continue also offers the ability to edit code using natural language commands.
Developers can highlight a section of code and instruct Continue to refactor it according to specific requirements. For instance, they can ask Continue to change a plot into a bar chart in a dashboard component, rewrite a function to be asynchronous, or migrate a Digital Ocean Terraform file to one suitable for Google Cloud Platform.Furthermore, Continue allows developers to generate files from scratch.
By opening a blank file, developers can prompt Continue to create new Python scripts, React components, and more. For example, they can ask Continue to write a connector for Postgres, create an IAM policy for read-only access to S3, or generate an SQL query to retrieve recently churned users.To stay updated with the latest developments, developers can subscribe to Continue's newsletter or join their Discord community.
Continue is an open-source project maintained by Continue Dev, Inc.

Johnson🙏 122 karmaJul 16, 2025@OnSpace.AI - No Code App BuilderWould rate 4.9 if possible, but rounding up to 5 stars because this app truly excels compared to other AI coding tools. Why 5 Stars: Best-in-class AI coding assistance Huge improvements over competitors Actually works for real development Real Impact: I successfully built and published an actual app using this tool - that's game-changing for non-developers like me. Bottom Line: Yes, there's room for improvement, but this is already the top AI coding app available. The fact that ordinary people can create real apps with it says everything. Perfect for anyone wanting to turn ideas into actual apps! -
Cursor — v2Much stronger coding performance, with big benchmark gains over Composer 1.5 across CursorBench, Terminal-Bench 2.0, and SWE-bench Multilingual. Better long-horizon task solving, aimed at coding jobs that require hundreds of actions instead of shorter edit loops. Stronger base model training from Cursor’s first continued pretraining run, giving reinforcement learning a better foundation than before. Better price-to-intelligence balance, positioned as a much stronger model without giving up cost efficiency. Adds a faster same-intelligence variant and makes fast mode the default option.

CodingFleet has evolved a lot over the past year. We added the latest flagship coding models including GPT-5.4, Grok-4.20 Beta, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6 / Opus 4.6, Qwen 3.5, MiniMax M2.5, and newer Codex reasoning models. The platform also gained major new capabilities like Image Generation, Diagram Generator, Diagram-to-Code, vision support, improved Web Access, and MCP integrations. For builders, Code Execution became much more powerful with better sandboxes, filesystem tools, shell/database access, and improved long-running workflows. We also significantly improved the product experience with larger context limits, broader file upload support, Chat Memory, cross-tab/live chats, a much better dashboard, and detailed usage statistics. On the business side, we refreshed pricing with a stronger Pro plan, cheaper credit purchases, and permanent Pro access.

Code varies from run to run. Still it is a helpful app. You can specify coding languages that are not in the dropdown menu.
