Augment Code
Context-engine coding assistant built for large, real-world codebases.
Add Augment Code to your hut →Augment Code is a heavily-funded challenger in agentic coding, built around a context engine that indexes large, real-world codebases so its completions, chat, and agents stay grounded in how your code actually fits together. It plugs into VS Code and JetBrains rather than replacing your editor, and its pitch is strongest on mature production repos where generic assistants lose the thread.
Most often compared to Cursor — Augment competes head-on for the same developers, betting that deep codebase context beats an AI-native editor. Worth evaluating when your repo is big enough that other assistants hallucinate its structure.
