# Continue
+Continue is the open-source autopilot for software developers. Using our SDK you can write short scripts, called recipes, that automate sequences of tasks that are common within your codebase. This repository contains:
+
+- The Continue Python package, which offers an SDK to write recipes and the Continue server, which runs all automations
+- The Continue VSCode extension, where you can natively run recipes and use natural language to refine code much faster
+
+## Getting Started
+
+The easiest way to start using Continue is to download our VS Code extension from the marketplace:
+
[Download for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Continue.continue)
+Alternatively, you can build from source. Just clone the repo and run a Python script:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/continuedev/continue && cd continue/extension/scripts && python3 install_from_source.py
+```
+
+## Writing Recipes
+
+See our guides on writing recipes in the documentation.
