Developed by Augment Code, a commercial AI coding assistant company.

Augment Code is an AI coding assistant built around a Context Engine that indexes an entire large codebase, offered as IDE plugins and the Auggie terminal CLI agent.

Available as extensions for VS Code and JetBrains, plus the open-source Auggie CLI installable via npm.

Launched in 2024 and actively developed through 2026, holding SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 42001 certifications.

It exists to give professional engineers on very large, production codebases more accurate context-aware completions and edits than smaller-context tools.

Requires an Augment Code account and API key; the Auggie CLI is open source but the context engine backend is proprietary and cloud-hosted.

Auggie CLI is open source on GitHub, the core Context Engine and completions are a commercial, cloud-hosted service that indexes your repository.
