FREE Augment Code Beats Cursor & Windsurf For Large Codebase Indexing!🤖 NEW AI Coding RAG

All right guys so on this channel we've covered many different AI coding tools we've covered wind surf we've covered cursor we've covered Aid we've covered bolt. new we've covered Temple Labs we covered pythagora Project idx R code Klein bolt. DIY the list goes on and on and frankly right now we are in the AI coding IDE extension and just tool race right now everyone's trying to be the best tool and I've tried many different tools on this channel and you guys

Have seen me test the tools out but there's one thing that I found that you know some of these tools are just not great at and yes it's frankly simple to build a quick to-do list app or really any app and just get it from zero to somewhat decent fairly quickly get some prototyping maybe with one of the browser AI coding tools like VZ or bolt or lovable and then maybe bring it over into cursor or wind Surf and start building

Upon it but as you start building for days weeks months and as things continue on your code base just gets bigger and bigger and quite frankly the performance of the AI coding tool lots of the times gets dumber and dumber and even with the current models we just have today if you had a specific way to index large code bases and have the llm be able to retrieve that information in a needle and a hay stack and give you the correct

Answer with the correct context that would be extremely powerful alone and if you can solve this problem really really well then you're going to have have a huge advantage in the AI coding space and in today's video we're going to cover a tool that claims to be just that now that tool is augment code now when you first see this tool you may think oh this is just another VSS code extension it's not even an IDE if I'm going to use

A VX code extension I'm going to use through code or Klein and I completely get that but stay tuned because in today's video I'm going to show you how you can actually use augment code and why it's supposedly the best when it comes to managing context in large databases big complex repos and the cool thing about this is you don't have to choose cursor wind surf or augment code you know since this is a vs code extension you could still use

An IDE AI coding editor and then have augment code when you actually need to understand very complex things or needle in a Hast stack or cursor just fails this is when this tool can come in really hand the best thing is guys this is 100% for free so without Ado guys let's dive right into it all right guys so all links I cover in today's video will be linked down below I definitely recommend you check out their website here as well

As their doc so the first AI coding assistant built for professional software engineers and large code bases so integrates with VSS code jet brains and neovim so that's good has all the different Integrations you've tried the AI coding that simply helps you build programs from scratch now try the AI that teams the complexity of evolving your most sophisticated code bases and this is usually where a lot of people get stuck you know it's like I said it's pretty easy to spin

Something up let actually follow through and get your project done or or actually optimize it in an efficient ways once it actually does start getting done that's where people struggle with you can see here they're trusted by the world's leading software company so just some big names right here data Stacks GoFundMe advisor 360 con web flow you guys get the point so quickly master your largest and most complex repos to augment orients you in minutes even if you're new to a

Project or working in an unfamiliar code base so you can make updates with confidence there are no simple changes in production software but augment manages the challenges for you so here we can see some benchmarks we can see the CC Val exact match percentage right here so we can see the comparison between GitHub co-pilot right here as well as augment and it is scoring higher now you may be wondering how do they actually do this how do they back up this

Claim and how does it work well I'll leave this link to this blog post down below if you want to check it out but they have a different approach to retrieval in short the dominant approach in retrieval remains calling generic model apis like open AI to create embeddings for Snippets of code files and documents and then uses embedding search apis like pine cone to retrieve Snippets related to the query however this approach leads to poor quality poor latency and potentially even

Poor security therefore augment has taken a different approach we have developed an indexing and embedding search system tailored to give you the most relevant up up toate context across all products goes a little bit more into depth down here about you know some of it how it actually works but it is apparently a proprietary system and we're going to see how well it works all right guys so here on the pricing we can see Experience Unlimited choose your PL so there

Are three different plans you have the Community Edition right here which is 3,000 chat messages unlimited completions unlimited instructions UNL liit to next edits and then Community Support now the one caveat is that AI training is per so they could train it on your c-base and then if you want to be on the professional or Enterprise professional is 30 bucks per month per user and you get unlimited chats and then unlimited everything else it's not being trained on your data and

Then $60 a month per active user for Enterprise you get a few different things here slack integration analytics all this good stuff and there is a 30-day free trial if you did want to use one of the paid plans so first things first you're going to want to click on install right here to start installing augment code you're going to want to log in and then download it in vs code or cursor or the IDE of your choice all right guys

So you can see I have cursor opened up right here I have augment already downloaded once you download it and you open it and sign in in a project it's going to say augments codebase understanding requires syncing your workspace to the secure augment Cloud please Grant the permission to sync your workspace so you can go ahead and just click on sync right here and it's going to start syncing the code base we're at 11% and then syncing complete so very quick

We can see augment has just finished syncing our code base all right so now you can see that it actually gave us an overview of what our project includes so this is a nexj S14 app for executive stride a business focused on AI powered sales Automation and agent Solutions key aspects include core features technical stack architecture so uses nextjs app router server and client components environment based configuration you get the point and it also provides different potential questions right here that

You could ask about the code base so what's the site's configuration managed and what's the key settings in Liv [Music] config.txt right here and then the API integration and this is kind of the interface you see so it's actually a very nice interface you have a copy to clipboard you can click here to actually open this up and now we're in this file like so and we can see our API integration it's explaining it all right here JavaScript SDK create client

Walking us through every single little thing all right so you can see here we can do forward slash for actions right here or the at symbol to tag files and more so if we do forward slash we can do things like like find things in your codebase explain explain how selected code Works fix issues in selected code base write test for selected code and document so write documentation for selected code if I highlighted this right here then clicked this for write

Documentation and then click Send we can see it's generating and now it should be writing the documentation yep so we can see that it's documenting the codebase like here's initialize content full client with EnV M variables uh type definitions for Content models and then we can see you know it's basically just outlining the whole entire thing now the cool thing is I don't know exactly what model they're using on the back end side of things I don't know if it's a

Custom model I don't know if it's you know just something like Claud sonit 3.5 even though that would be quite expensive uh to give this away for free but it is a good model and as you can see it's very fast and you know you get to use it for free no API key so it's great so now to imp ment this we can go ahead here and just click on apply now it's applying those changes okay so the cool thing

Is we can either accept these one by one like so by either just clicking this or clicking enter or either clicking this or hitting control enter to accept all if we scroll down you'll see that the only thing it should be adding is just a documentation which it looks like it did it correctly so I'm just going to accept all okay now I'm actually going to try to add a new page in here um which is going to be a case

Study page and I'm going to tell it to integrate it with the content full uh content model that I have right here so I'm going to paste this in this is just exactly how I want the testimonials to be structured I'm just getting this Json from content.com all right so I'm pasting this in I'm just saying here I want to create a new page for testimonials that will be fetching from a new content model from content full the page should be

Named case studies and they have Dynamic Pages for each individual testimonial um the for case study should show all the case studies that can be clicked on basically the same setup I have for my blog and the Vault page analyze the Vault page to get an understanding I'm going to go ahead here and click on send all right so you can see that it just like when you type something like this in cursor it's going to take a long not a

Long time it's just going to you'll see that it's kind of like loading see how quick augment code is all right so here it's saying it will create a similar setup to the blog Pages or case studies first let's create the necessary interfaces and functions okay so we'll just see that it's doing that here now let's create the case studies list page create a new file so it can create new files so we got the case studies right here now it's

Saying I'll create the dynamic page for the individual case studies so create a new file and it got that right so this setup provides and we can see it should provide everything that we wanted I'm going to go ahead and apply these individually now so applying to codebase our new case studies page I'm just going to trust it and click accept all same thing here I'm going to click accept all and then here I'm going to click on create all right

So I'm getting a lot of type errors so I'm just going to paste these type errors in here okay so I'm going to click on apply here accept all okay some of those are gone there's still a couple more okay there's just one more left okay so looks like we're getting an error here I'm just going to copy this and paste it in right here okay and now you can see we actually have our case studies page right here I'm in

Contentful here I'm just going to make a test case study and we're going to go ahead and click on publish right here okay but I don't see the case study right here so I'm going to go back to augment and tell it that so I'm just saying on the case studies page no case studies are loading or fetching I also pasted in the type errors as well all right so it added the missing function right here I'm going to accept this

Now it's updating the case studies page let's go ahead and accept this as well all right and boom now we're on the case study page and as you can see our case study has been loaded this is our test case study of course we click into here here we can see that our actual Dynamic case study page for/ test is working now of course this is very basic I would actually customize this make it look a lot nicer and we can

See that it did change up the actual styling here but that's okay we could go ahead and change this later that's pretty much it guys for this video on augment code let me know what your thoughts are in the comments Down Below guys if you tried out this tool and if you have tried it out let me know how you think it is to something like cursor wind surf rode Klein the two main things I would say for this tool to

That make it really great are one it it's 100% for free at least at the moment and two the deeper context awareness around your whole code base so if you're actually building out a code base I wouldn't recommend personally starting from this using this as at the start like creating a whole project I would recommend using something like cursor wind surf whatever the case is but once you actually have a project if you're having trouble getting different problems solved this could

Definitely come in handy and potentially be game-changing other than guys if you're new to this channel we upload videos on the time on ai ai agents AI coding Marketing sales business grow so if you like that type of content and you got some value here make sure to like the video comment down below and subscribe to stay up to date with the uploads also too guys if you're new here and you haven't already checked out our stride AI Academy I'll leave
