What is Augment Code?

Augment Code is an AI-powered software engineering platform designed for professional development teams. It provides AI agents that deeply understand your entire codebase through its proprietary Context Engine, enabling higher-quality code generation, review, and automation.

Unlike generic AI coding assistants, Augment focuses on full-codebase semantic understanding — including architecture, dependencies, documentation, and historical changes — to produce production-ready results.

Core Features

1. Context Engine

• Maintains live semantic understanding of your entire stack
• Analyzes code, dependencies, architecture, documentation, and history
• Curates relevant context from thousands of sources
• Enables higher correctness and best-practice alignment

2. IDE Agents

• Works inside VS Code & JetBrains
• Handles multi-step tasks
• Automatically remembers context across sessions
• Generates production-grade pull requests
• Performs structured edits with diff tracking

3. Code Review

• AI-powered senior-level reviewer
• Inline GitHub comments
• High precision and recall benchmarking
• Identifies logical errors, style mismatches, and architectural issues
• One-click fixes in IDE

4. CLI (Terminal Agent)

• Full terminal integration
• Works with your existing shell
• AI-powered coding via command line
• Supports prompt automation via auggie --print
• Same Context Engine as IDE agents

5. Completions & Next Edit

• Context-aware code suggestions
• Aligns with project-specific patterns
• Minimizes technical debt

6. Remote Agents

• Agents that can operate beyond local IDE workflows

7. Slack Integration

• AI interactions within team communication workflows

Key Differentiators

• Deep semantic codebase understanding
• Production-grade output (not “AI slop”)
• Blind benchmark studies vs. other tools
• Context-aware code reuse
• Best-practice alignment to specific codebases
• Designed for professional engineering teams

Performance Claims

Based on a blind study comparing 500 agent-generated pull requests to human-written merged code on the Elasticsearch repository (3.6M LOC):

Measured across:

• Functional correctness
• Completeness
• Code reuse
• Best practice alignment
• Context awareness

Augment reports superior aggregate performance versus other AI coding tools.

Trusted by companies including: MongoDB, Spotify, Snyk, MoneyGram, Crypto.com, Webflow, and others.

FAQ (Inferred from Page Content)

Q1: How is Augment different from other AI coding tools?

Most AI tools use similar models. Augment differentiates itself through its proprietary Context Engine, which deeply understands the entire codebase.

Q2: Does Augment work only in IDEs?

No. It works in IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains), in the terminal via CLI, in GitHub for code review, and integrates with Slack.

Q3: Is it suitable for large codebases?

Yes. It is built to handle monorepos and enterprise-scale projects.

Q4: Does it support automation?

Yes. The CLI supports automation commands like auggie --print.

Q5: Does it integrate with GitHub?

Yes. It provides inline comments and code review functionality within GitHub pull requests.

Q6: Is it meant for individual developers or teams?

Primarily professional engineering teams, but it works for projects of any size.
