Augment Code is an AI coding platform from Augment Computing. The current product organizes agents around Cosmos, an orchestration plane that launches fleets of agents, plus the Auggie CLI and editor extensions.
What it’s for
- Delegating coding tasks to agents that work together, not just in a single session
- Running the agent in the terminal, in the editor or in CI automation
- Triggering work from events such as repository activity, Slack messages, Linear tickets or webhooks
- Keeping project context across tasks through a dedicated context engine
How it works
- Cosmos orchestrates fleets of agents on cloud or self-hosted machines
- The Auggie CLI works interactively and also in scripts and pipelines
- Extensions bring the assistant into the editor, with diff review
- The platform combines third-party models with a proprietary ensemble
Where it runs
- Extensions for VS Code, JetBrains and Vim/Neovim editors
- Terminal CLI, including use in automation and CI
- Cloud or self-hosted orchestration platform
- Web and mobile apps, plus Slack integration
Availability and licensing
- The product is proprietary and requires an active subscription for the CLI
- The public CLI repository is for distribution and issues, under its own license
- Features vary by plan, with enterprise options
How it differs
- The differentiator is orchestrating multiple event-triggered agents, not just autocomplete
- The context engine is proprietary and central to the proposition
- It suits teams that want agents in the repository, the editor and the terminal at once
Things to note
- Agent orchestration requires reviewing permissions and what each agent may change
- Some autocomplete features were discontinued on specific plans; check the changelog
- Consumption and integrations depend on the plan you buy
