Continue has launched Tasks and Workflows features based on Cloud Agents that let you automate repetitive development work in just two clicks.
Details
Continue has launched Tasks and Workflows features in Mission Control. Beyond existing AI coding assistance within the IDE, the core idea is to automate repetitive development work overall.
Users can automate tasks using Cloud Agents with just two clicks, without writing separate scripts or setting up CI/CD pipelines. The provided workflow templates enable tasks such as:
- Automatically generating Changelog updates
- Suggesting React component refactors
- Improving Test Coverage and performing security reviews
- Updating Jira tickets and PostHog dashboards
The feature is broadly divided into two types.
- Continue Tasks: Performs a single, atomic action (e.g., writing tests) in a manual way where the user directly issues the command.
- Continue Workflows: Performs complex, multi-step processes (e.g., triaging issues, making fixes, and creating PRs) that run automatically based on events or schedules.
Users can build their own custom workflows using Cron schedules or Webhooks as triggers. This enables a powerful agent-based automation environment through configuration alone, without building separate infrastructure.
