Continue is the leading open-source IDE extension for AI-assisted coding. It works inline in your editor, has a chat panel, and supports custom slash commands. It is a different category from a CLI agent, more of a Copilot replacement than a Claude Code one.
Run the same agent in a terminal, in CI, on a cron, or behind a webhook. The editor is one of many surfaces.
A coordinator that spawns explorers, finds every call site, and patches them in sequence. Continue does not target this shape.
Plug the agent into a cron job, a Slack channel, a webhook. The agent definition stays the same.
Open Studio and tell the builder assistant what you want. It builds the agent for you, connects your tools, and you refine it live on the canvas. It's vibe coding for agents, nothing to install.
Open StudioEngineering notes from the Digitorn team. No marketing, no launch announcements, no "10 prompts that will change your life". Just the things we write that we'd want to read.
