Bye Cursor! Augment Agent is INSANE! 🤯

Forget everything you know about AI coding tools. There's a new agent that just crushed the leaderboard. It's completely free and it might make Cursor look like a toy. So, I just found this AI coding agent that's actually insane. It ranked number one on the official coding benchmark, beating everything else out there. And the crazy part, you get 3,000 chat messages and 50 agent calls every month for free while Cursor is charging you and giving you less. I'm going to show you exactly how it works. We're going to build a full game from scratch, fix bugs in a real app, and see if this thing is actually worth the hype. Hey, if we haven't met already, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of SEO agency Goldie Agency. Whilst he's helping clients get more leads and customers, I'm here to help you get the latest AI updates. Julian Goldie reads every comment, so make sure you comment below. Okay, so let me tell you what this tool actually is. It's called Augment Code, and it's not just another AI assistant. This is built specifically for real software engineers working with massive code bases. The kind of projects that make other AI tools completely useless. Here's what makes it different. Most AI coding tools fail when your project gets big. They lose context. They forget what they're doing. They give you garbage code that doesn't work with the rest of your app. Augment solves this by actually understanding your entire codebase, not just the file you're looking at, everything. And the free plan is actually insane. You get 3,000 chat messages per month. That's more than most people will ever use. You get 50 agent calls where it can actually build entire features for you. And you get unlimited code completions, unlimited instructions, unlimited edits. Compare that to GitHub Copilot. They give you limited completions, only 50 chat requests per month, and you're paying for it. Cursor is basically the same deal. Limited features, monthly cost. Augment is giving you more for free than these tools give you when you pay. But here's where it gets really interesting. Augment just launched their AI agent mode. This isn't just autocomplete. This isn't just answering questions. This agent can handle entire tasks. You tell it what you want. It plans it out. It writes the code. It tests it. It fixes bugs all by itself. And get this augments agent ranked number one on the SWE bench verified test. That's the official benchmark for AI coding agents. They got a 65. 4% success rate. That's higher than anything else. Higher than cursor, higher than C-Pilot, higher than all of them. You want to know how they did it? They combined Claude Sonet 3. 7 as the main engine, then paired it with OpenAI's 01 model as the assembler. That combination is what makes it so powerful. And they opensource the entire agent pipeline. So you can see exactly how it works. Now, let me show you how to actually use this thing. First, you need to install it. Go to augment. com and click the big install button. Create a free account with Google or email. Then pick your code editor. They support VS Code. Jetbrains and Vim. If you're new to coding, just use VS Code. It's free. It's easy. It works on everything. Go to code visualstudio. com and download it. Install it. Then go back to Augment and click the VS Code logo. It'll open VS Code and install the extension automatically. Once it's installed, you'll see a welcome message from Augment. Sign in with the same account you created. It'll ask to index your codebase. Just allow it. If you have GitHub Copilot installed, it'll ask you to disable it. Do that, too. Now, here's the important part. Augment has three modes. Chat mode won't make any changes to your code. It just answers questions. Agent mode will make changes, but asks for your permission first. Agent auto mode will do everything without asking. For most people, agent mode is the sweet spot. One thing you'll notice, there's no option to pick which AI model to use. That's on purpose. Augment believes you shouldn't have to think about models. It should just work. So, they picked the best combination and locked it in. Claude Son 3. 7 plus Open AI01. Done. All right, let's actually test this thing. I'm going to ask Augment to build me a brick breaker game. You know those old school games where you bounce a ball and break bricks, but I want it modern. Neon colors, cool animations, the whole thing. My VS Code folder is completely empty. Nothing in there. Let's see if Augment can build this from scratch. I send the prompt and it immediately starts working. First, it gathers information from my project directory. Then, it searches the web for how to build a brick breaker game. It finds the Mozilla developer docs and ask permission to fetch them. I allow it. Now, it's planning everything out. Project structure, game mechanics, visual effects, audio. It creates the HTML file, then the CSS for styling, then the JavaScript for the game logic all by itself. I'm not writing a single line of code. It finishes and asks to start a local web server using Python. I allow it. The game opens in my browser and it actually works. The ball bounces, the bricks break. The neon effects look amazing. The animations are smooth. The only thing missing is audio, but that's expected. AI agents can't generate audio files yet. The game over screen works. I can play again. Everything functions perfectly. And Augment generated helpful documentation, too. How to play, technical implementation, a list of all files it created. This is insane for a free tool.

Now, let me test something harder. I want to update the game. I tell Augment to add a home screen where users can start a new game or reset scores. Keep track of the last five higher scores. Save them in the browser and add a quit button to the game over screen. Now, if you're serious about scaling your business with AI, you need to join my AI profit boardroom. This is where I show you exactly how to get more customers and save hundreds of hours with AI automation. Real strategies, real results, no fluff. This is the exact stuff I use in my seven figureure agency. Link is in the description. I send the prompt. Augment starts working. It gathers information, makes a plan, edits the files. A minute later, it's done. I test the game. The home screen is there. I play and lose on purpose. The game over screen has a quit button. I quit and see my high score on the home screen. Perfect. Here's what I want you to understand. This isn't just autocomplete. This isn't just a chatbot. This is an actual AI agent that can build entire applications, fix complex bugs, understand massive code bases, and do it all for free. If you've been thinking about building your first project, this is probably the easiest way to start. You don't need to know how to code. You just need to describe what you want. Augment handles the planning, creates the files, writes the code, tests it, fixes bugs, everything. And because it reads your entire codebase, it gives you responses based on full context. You don't need to explain everything. It already knows. It understands your project better than most junior developers would. So, here's my final take on Augment. This is a massive addition to the AI coding world. The fact that it ranked number one on the official benchmark means something. The fact that it's free means even more. And the fact that it actually works with large realorld code bases makes it a serious cursor competitor. The generous free plan gives you 3,000 chat messages and 50 agent calls per month. That's more than enough for most projects. And unlike other tools, you're not constantly hitting limits or getting nickel and dimed. The agent mode is where this really shines. You can delegate entire features to it, not just lines of code, entire features. It plans, it executes, it tests, it fixes, all while you focus on the bigger picture. Is it perfect? No, nothing is. But for a free tool that just launched, this is incredibly impressive. And if you're building web apps or working with large code bases, you need to try this. If you're serious about scaling your stuff I use in my seven figureure agency. Now, before you go, I have something huge for you.
