Remote Agent is a cloud-based version of the Augment Agent, a revolutionary Agentic AI system designed for professional software engineers. It can autonomously handle repetitive, low-priority engineering tasks in parallel, even while you're offline or asleep.
Remote Agent is a secure, cloud-based clone of the Augment Agent that can mirror your development environment and continue working on tasks without your direct involvement. You can run up to 10 agents simultaneously to handle a variety of tasks, such as applying code changes, integrating with MCPs, managing linear tickets, and responding to code review threads.
The agents work autonomously, allowing you to delegate multiple tasks and walk away, returning to find everything ready for your review and approval. This streamlines the development process and increases productivity, making Remote Agent a game-changer for developers.
To access Remote Agent, you'll need to have the Augment Code extension installed in your IDE, such as VS Code or JetBrains. Once you've signed up or logged in, you can connect your GitHub account and start delegating tasks to the Remote Agent. You can customize the agent's environment, and the agent will even generate a setup script for you, handling the entire process autonomously.
Remote Agent's capabilities go beyond just automating tasks. You can send multiple requests to the agent, such as raising coverage bars by writing unit and integration tests, or updating documentation, READMEs, API examples, and migration guides. The agent will work on these tasks in parallel, and you can review the changes before applying them to your GitHub repository.
The true power of Remote Agent lies in its ability to work autonomously, even when you're offline. You can close your computer, go somewhere else, and the agents will continue to work on your tasks in the cloud. This frees up your time and focus for more critical work, boosting your overall productivity.
In conclusion, Remote Agent is a game-changing extension to Augment Code, allowing you to automate low-priority engineering tasks in parallel, even when you're offline. By running in secure, customizable cloud environments, Remote Agent helps clear blockers, boost productivity, and free up your focus for more important work.
Hands-Free Task Automation in the Cloud
Hands-Free Task Automation in the Cloud
Remote Agent is a cloud-based version of the Augment Agent, a powerful AI system designed to assist software engineers with complex code-related tasks. With Remote Agent, developers can delegate repetitive, low-priority engineering tasks to autonomous cloud-based agents, allowing them to work on more critical projects even when they're offline.
These agents can handle a wide range of tasks, such as applying code changes, integrating with MCPs, managing linear tickets, and responding to code review threads, all while the developer is away. The agents can work in parallel, with up to 10 agents tackling different tasks simultaneously, further streamlining the development process and boosting productivity.
To use Remote Agent, developers need to have the Augment Code extension installed in their preferred IDE, such as VS Code or JetBrains. After connecting their GitHub account, they can select a repository or branch and customize the agent's environment if desired. The agent will then autonomously set up the development environment, clone the repository, and index the codebase, allowing it to work with full contextual awareness.
Developers can then send multiple requests to the Remote Agent, such as raising code coverage to a specific threshold or updating documentation and API examples. The agent will work on these tasks in the cloud, and the developer can review the changes later, either applying them locally or creating a pull request directly from the Augment Code interface.
The ability to delegate tasks to Remote Agent while offline is a game-changer, as it allows developers to focus on more critical work without being bogged down by repetitive, time-consuming tasks. This cloud-based automation can help clear blockers, boost productivity, and free up developers' attention for more impactful work.
