Skip to main contentAbout Remote Agent
Augment Remote Agent is a powerful tool that can help you complete software development tasks end-to-end that runs in a secure, cloud environment. You can run multiple agents in parallel on independent tasks, and you’ll monitor and manage their progress from within Visual Studio Code. Remote Agents can run in normal or auto mode, just like IDE-based agents, and will notify you when they need attention.
How is Remote Agent different from Agent?
Remote Agent is a cloud version of the IDE-bound Agent. Each Remote Agent runs on its own secure environment, with its own workspace-all of which is managed for you. Each Remote Agent works independently and on its own branch, so you can have multiple agents working on the same repository at the same time.
Accessing Remote Agent
To start a new Remote Agent, simply open the Augment panel and select Remote Agent from the drop down in the input box.
