Auggie is currently in beta and does not support all features available in the Augment plugins for Visual Studio Code or JetBrains IDEs.
About interactive mode
Auggie is an agentic terminal-based code assistant that has deep codebase knowledge powered by Augment’s context engine. Auggie can help you understand a new codebase, fix bugs quickly, and build new features faster. Auggie has access to your connected integrations and MCP servers and can pull in additional context or run tools to get your tasks done.
Using interactive mode
Run auggie without any mode flags to get the full-screen terminal user interface with rich interactive features, real-time streaming of responses, and visual progress indicators. This mode shows all tool calls, results, and allows ongoing conversation through an intuitive interface.
