Augment Code

What is Augment Code about?

Augment Code delivers a platform that embeds large‑language‑model agents directly into developers' workflows. The agents can plan, write, test, and open pull requests, while a proprietary context engine indexes the entire codebase for instant, relevant suggestions. It works across VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Vim/Neovim, and also offers a CLI/TUI for terminal‑first interactions.

How to use Augment Code?

1. Sign up / Install – Visit the website and click Install now or Sign up to create an account.
2. Connect your repository – Authorize access to your GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket repo; Augment Code will create a real‑time index of the codebase.
3. Activate an agent – In your IDE or terminal, launch an autonomous agent. Provide a high‑level task (e.g., "Add a new user authentication flow").
4. Review & merge – The agent generates code, runs tests, and opens a pull request for your review. You can also apply suggestions instantly via "Smart Apply".
5. Customize – Define memories, rules, and focused context files to align the agent with your team's best practices.

• Tasklist & images: Break complex work into steps and attach screenshots or wireframes as context.

Use Cases of Augment Code

• Rapid feature development – Spin up an agent to scaffold new components, services, or APIs.
• Bug fixing – Describe the symptom; the agent locates the offending code and proposes a fix.
• Code reviews – Generate preliminary PRs with AI‑written tests and documentation.
• Onboarding – New engineers can ask the agent to explain parts of the codebase using focused context.
• Legacy migration – Assist in refactoring outdated patterns while preserving functionality.

FAQ from Augment Code

Q: Do I need to install anything locally? A: Only the IDE plugin or the CLI/TUI if you prefer terminal usage. The heavy lifting runs on Augment Code’s cloud infrastructure.

Q: Which models does it use? A: Supports frontier models including GPT‑5, Sonnet 4, and other configurable providers via MCP.

Q: Is my proprietary code safe? A: Yes. Augment Code encrypts data at rest and in transit, and by default keeps all code private to your organization.

Q: Can I limit the agent’s access to certain files? A: Use the Focus Context feature to prioritize or restrict files the agent can reference.

Q: How does pricing work? A: Visit the Pricing page for tiered plans based on usage, number of agents, and required model access.
