Understanding the Code Integration Process

Imagine you’re a chef preparing a dish in the kitchen. Just like you have specific tools for measuring ingredients, Continue provides developers with a unique setup to integrate various AI models into their coding environment. The ‘recipe’ (or the code) is meticulously structured, incorporating different ‘ingredients’ (models and context) to create a delightful ‘dish’ (autocomplete and chat experiences).

Every coding action is akin to picking the right utensil—sometimes a whisk for a smooth batter (autocomplete) or a spatula for flipping (editing code smoothly). Just like the right tools make cooking enjoyable and efficient, Continue makes coding a breeze!

Troubleshooting

In case you encounter any issues while using Continue, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Check your internet connection to ensure everything loads properly.
  • Restart your IDE to refresh connections with the Continue services.
  • Ensure you are using the latest version of Continue. Sometimes updates can resolve unexpected issues.
  • If you’re stuck, don’t hesitate to ask for help in the Discord community.
