Augment Code features
- AI-Powered Code Review. Agents perform a substantive first-pass review of every PR within minutes, surfacing intent, architecture, and security issues.
- Ticket-to-PR Automation. Assign a ticket and the loop writes, tests, and merges the change end-to-end.
- Vulnerability Remediation. Agents map CVE blast radius and generate reviewed fixes without a war-room.
- Incident Response Coordination. Agents investigate alerts, draft timelines, and assemble context before on-call engineers join.
- Context Engine. Provides deep codebase understanding and shared memory across runs and agents.
- Native Integrations. Triggers for GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Linear, Jira and custom webhooks.
thinker features
