Augment is the AI coding platform built for enterprises - powered by a highly secure, production-grade Context Engine developed over 2.5 years in stealth until our public launch in November 2024. Augment semantically indexes your entire codebase, documentation, dependencies, and internal knowledge in real time to enable devs to ship code faster, onboard in days instead of months, and modernize legacy systems with confidence. We are alumni of global-leading AI and cloud companies including Google, Meta, NVIDIA, Snowflake, and Databricks - all on a mission to provide enterprises with context that actually understands your codebase. If, like us, you believe in augmenting and not replacing software developers, join us on our mission to improve software development at scale using AI.
