You’re a professional software engineer—vibes won’t cut it.
Augment Code is the only AI assistant built for real engineering teams. It ingests your entire repo—millions of lines, tens of thousands of files—so every suggestion lands in context and keeps you in flow.
Where other tools stall, Augment Code sprints. Unlike vibe coding tools, Augment Code is built for shipping to production. And you don’t have to switch tooling: keep using VS Code, JetBrains, Android Studio, or even Vim.
Don’t hire an AI for vibes—get the agent that knows you and your codebase best.

Building agentic AI apps isn’t just about choosing the best LLM.
Agents need short‑term memory, long‑term recall, and lightning‑fast retrieval. Without it, you’re left with clunky prototypes that never scale.
You know, Redis? The world’s fastest caching solution?
It turns out fast data is the key to good context. And good context is essential for fast, accurate memory. It’s what makes AI agents actually work with your data.
Redis for AI. The right infrastructure. The right tools. The only way to scale
