Augment is an AI coding assistant built to understand large codebases, giving developers completions, answers, and refactors grounded in their real repository.
Most coding assistants work well on a single file and fall apart on a monorepo. Augment’s differentiator is deep codebase context: it indexes the repository, learns its patterns and dependencies, and uses that understanding when generating code or answering questions about how the system works. It plugs into popular IDEs, offers next-edit suggestions that handle multi-file changes, and includes a chat interface for architecture questions. Teams use it to onboard faster and reduce the context switching that slows large projects.
The difference from general-purpose assistants shows up in large repositories: suggestions respect local conventions because they are grounded in the codebase itself. Teams report the biggest gains in onboarding and in refactors that touch many files, where context is exactly what generic tools lack.

Team plans centralize context configuration so the assistant understands shared conventions, and privacy controls keep code inside approved boundaries. Usage analytics help engineering leads see where the assistant earns its seat across repositories and roles.
A free trial lets developers test it on real work; paid individual and business plans follow, priced per seat.
