Augment Code
Augment Code is an AI-assisted programming tool for software developers, built on large language model technology. It provides code completion, code generation, and conversational programming Q&A. Notable features include a persistent memory capability that retains context across sessions, as well as support for multi-step task planning and automated execution. The tool is designed to improve developer coding efficiency and code quality.
