 Continuous AI is the integration of intelligent automation directly into development workflows, making AI assistance as natural and reliable as syntax highlighting or code completion. Its purpose is to amplify developer intent at every stage of the coding process.
 
 Think of it this way: DevOps automated the mechanical aspects of software delivery—building, testing, deploying. Continuous AI automates the intelligence aspects—understanding context, making suggestions, adapting to patterns, and learning from developer feedback.
