About

Augment is an enterprise AI coding platform founded to bring production-grade AI assistance to professional software engineering teams. Unlike consumer-focused coding tools, Augment was designed from the ground up for the scale and security requirements of large engineering organizations — offering a 400,000-file context engine that understands entire codebases rather than just open files. The company has achieved ISO 42001 certification, making it one of the few AI coding tools to meet emerging AI management system standards.\n\nAugment's core product integrates with VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, providing context-aware code completion, generation, and explanation across massive monorepos. In February 2026, the company launched Intent, a multi-agent desktop workspace that allows developers to delegate complex, multi-step engineering tasks to AI agents working in parallel. Target customers are enterprise engineering teams — particularly those in financial services, healthcare, and technology — where code quality, security, and auditability are paramount.\n\nAugment has raised $252 million in funding, positioning it as one of the best-capitalized players in the AI coding assistant market alongside GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Codeium. The company's enterprise focus differentiates it in a market where most tools optimize for individual developer experience. Its 2025–2026 strategy centers on displacing legacy tools in large engineering departments where the 400K-file context engine and agent capabilities address pain points that lighter-weight tools cannot.

About

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an Armonk, New York-based global technology and consulting company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IBM) as an S&P 500 component — providing hybrid cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence software, and enterprise IT consulting through approximately 270,300 employees in 170 countries with $62.8 billion in annual revenue. Founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company through a merger orchestrated by financier Charles Ranlett Flint, renamed IBM in 1924 under Thomas Watson Sr., IBM has undergone multiple strategic transformations over its 110+ year history: building the System/360 mainframe platform (1964), launching the IBM PC (1981), selling the PC division to Lenovo (2005, $1.75B), and completing the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition (2019) that repositioned IBM as a hybrid cloud platform company. CEO Arvind Krishna (appointed April 2020) has focused IBM's strategy on three areas: hybrid cloud (powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform), AI (the watsonx platform for enterprise AI model development and deployment), and enterprise consulting. Under Krishna, IBM recorded $12.7 billion in free cash flow in 2024 (a company record), surpassed $6 billion in generative AI bookings since June 2023, and saw the stock price double — trading at all-time highs through 2024-2025. IBM announced the DataStax acquisition in 2025 to deepen watsonx's data layer with AstraDB (vector database for AI applications), DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra), and Langflow (low-code AI agent development).
