Augment Code

Augment Code is an AI coding platform originally built around an IDE-integrated assistant — chat, an autonomous coding agent, "next edit" suggestions, and code completions — driven by a context engine that indexes large codebases so its suggestions reflect a project's actual code rather than generic patterns. In 2026 the company introduced Cosmos, a layer on top of this that coordinates multiple AI agents across a whole engineering organization rather than just inside one developer's editor. Cosmos routes each coding task to whichever underlying model, such as Claude or Gemini, fits it best, aiming to cut cost per task without sacrificing quality, and reuses a shared memory of past agent work so that one team's fixes and conventions carry over to others. It ships with pre-built "expert" agents for jobs like code review, test-writing, incident investigation, and security remediation, and supports human-in-the-loop checkpoints for changes that need a person to approve before merging. It integrates with GitHub, Slack, Jira, and CI/CD pipelines, and can run locally, in a dev container, or in the cloud. Founded in 2022, Augment Code targets engineering teams at established companies rather than solo developers or hobbyists, with enterprise features including SOC 2 Type II compliance and HIPAA support.
