Augment Code

What is Augment Code?

Augment Code is an AI-powered agentic software development platform made by Augment that coordinates autonomous agents across the entire software development lifecycle at organizational scale. The platform, called Cosmos, deploys specialized agents for triage, code authoring, review, and verification tasks, operating end-to-end while escalating to human engineers only at critical checkpoints.

Cosmos ships with pre-built expert agents including a Work Dispatcher for ticket triage, a PR Author for driving tasks from commit through merge, a Pair Review agent for real-time change feedback, a Deep Code Review agent for comprehensive analysis, and a Tester agent for end-to-end verification. Each expert operates as a reusable template with isolated environments and memory; users can fork existing experts, build custom agents, or select from a growing library. The platform integrates with Slack, GitHub, Jira, and CI systems, with shared organizational knowledge accessible across agents and teams. It supports deployment on laptops, local development environments, dev containers, cloud VMs, AWS, GCP, and dedicated on-premise instances.

The platform's core differentiator is its Context Engine, which maps codebases by structure rather than keyword search, allowing agents to access only the relevant code slice for each task. Augment reports this reduces token consumption by 50% compared to alternative approaches while maintaining or improving pass rates on code generation benchmarks. According to customer data, organizations using Cosmos report 4x faster ship cycles, 70% of incidents resolved before on-call engineers engage, and 30% reduction in repetitive engineering hours. The platform achieves 60% automatic CVE remediation rates.

Augment offers Cosmos as a paid SaaS product with enterprise-grade security: SOC 2 Type II certification, ISO/IEC 42001 compliance, zero data retention policies, CMEK encryption, BYOK for models, SAML/OIDC authentication, granular RBAC,
