What is Augment?
Augment is an AI software development platform tool developed by Augment that enables professional software engineers to automate workflow tasks within existing enterprise tools and manage complex codebases. It functions as an AI copilot and coding assistant with a superior context engine. Augment is designed to assist professional software engineers in analyzing, managing, and working with large, complex codebases, aiming to augment human developers rather than replace them. The platform indexes entire codebases in real-time, including multiple repositories, to gain a comprehensive understanding of project architecture, dependencies, and coding style. Its core component, the context engine, supports up to 200,000 context tokens, allowing it to pull detailed context from integrated tools like GitHub, Jira, and Notion, maintaining consistency across code generations.
