Augment's main focus is to improve software development by supporting developers rather than substituting them. It offers in-depth knowledge of a company's codebase and dependencies, with the goal of removing the boring parts of coding, thus enabling developers to fully enjoy the coding process. It offers suggestions that reflect the APIs and coding patterns specific to a company's code, meaning it can be used for day-to-day work. Augment boasts fast inference, claiming to be 3x faster than competitors, which helps to keep developers in their workflow. Rather than just boosting productivity, Augment's custom AI models are tuned for code to reduce errors and improve code quality. The platform helps disseminate and improve the use of internal best practices among developers, enhancing codebase awareness.
