Coding Assistance

Continue is an open-source coding autopilot for VS Code that replaces manual ChatGPT copy-pasting with an integrated LLM assistant. It emphasizes transparency, hackability, and user control by supporting any LLM (local or cloud), collecting development data locally, and offering extensive customization through slash commands, context sources, and policies. The platform enables developers to maintain privacy while leveraging AI assistance and automatically gather data to improve their own LLM models.

OpenClaw v2026.7.2-beta.1 introduces remote coding sessions on cloud workers, native automation and mobile capabilities, safer channel operations, guided Control UI setup, improved gateway and session recovery, and new Linux packaging options. The release encompasses 2425 merged PRs with major enhancements to session management, coding agents, security boundaries, and reliability across multiple platforms including mobile, desktop, and headless systems.
