Augment Code
AI Coding AssistanceAn AI coding assistant with deep understanding of your entire codebase. Excels at context comprehension for large-scale projects, with code completion, chat, and agent capabilities.
What is Augment Code?
Augment Code is an AI coding assistant specialized in deep understanding of large codebases. Available as an extension for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, it indexes your entire repository's code structure, dependencies, and patterns to deliver highly accurate code completions and suggestions. Augment Code's greatest strength is its Codebase Indexing feature. By indexing the entire project, it automatically references related files, functions, and classes when generating responses, enabling accurate code suggestions even in large-scale projects. The AI chat feature provides context-aware answers to questions about your codebase. The agent feature autonomously performs multi-file refactoring and bug fixes. It can also learn your team's coding conventions and architectural patterns, making it well-suited for enterprise use.
