Augment

Augment Code builds AI agents for engineering teams, with Cosmos running code review, ticket-to-PR, vulnerability fixes and incident response.

Augment Code makes AI tools for engineering organizations, built around its Context Engine for understanding large codebases. Cosmos, its agent platform, lets teams build an always-on software delivery system in natural language, assembled from loops such as code review, ticket to pull request, vulnerability remediation and incident response. Specialist agents include a Work Dispatcher that triages tickets, a PR Author that carries changes through to merge, a Code Review fleet and a Tester that verifies changes end to end, while engineers approve work at quality gates. Agents are triggered from GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Linear, Jira, schedules or webhooks, share memory across teams, and run in managed cloud sandboxes or on a company's own infrastructure. Augment also offers a CLI and MCP tools, and its plans charge a flat monthly price for up to 50 seats.
