Augment Code is an AI coding platform whose Context Engine indexes large, multi-repo codebases so its completions, chat, and agents reason across cross-file dependencies. It runs as a VS Code and JetBrains extension, a CLI, and asynchronous remote agents, and targets engineering teams working in enterprise-scale repositories.
