Agent by Augment Code — Product Research | aVenture

Augment Agent is an AI-powered coding assistant that operates directly within developers' IDEs, supporting VS Code and JetBrains. It leverages Augment's Context Engine to reason across entire codebases, delivering production-ready changes for features, bug fixes, and refactors. The agent follows a plan-implement-review workflow with restorable checkpoints, auto mode for independent work, and ask mode for read-only exploration.

Key capabilities include parallel tool calls for 2x faster turns, multi-model support (Claude Opus, Sonnet, GPT), automatic memories that surface for user approval, prompt enhancement that expands brief requests into comprehensive specs, and native integrations with GitHub, Linear, Jira, Confluence, Notion, Sentry, and Stripe. The agent also supports image understanding for screenshots and mockups, multi-repo coordinated changes, and 100+ MCP tool connections.
