Further Down the Road

We're pushing past chatbot limitations with MCP (Multimodal Control Protocol) connections.

MCP Connections

No more copy-paste replies. Hit a button → send a contextual email or trigger actions across tools.

From interviews and meetings to everyday work and even leisure, we'll become your #1 productivity companion.

Start working augmented.

Coming Kinda Soon

Textbox Mode & Scenario Capture

We're launching Augment 1x "Textbox" Mode — the new default experience. It's not just another chatbot input field. This is how you'll get help without switching tabs, losing focus, or juggling windows.

How it works

A persistent textbox sits at the toolbar.

When you click submit, it captures your screen context and generates a reply.

You can also speak your question instead of typing.

For complex problems, switch to Scenario Capture which gives you up to 2 minutes to talk, show the issue, and supply rich context.

Cool Use Cases

Need to respond to a confusing email thread? Activate a "context window" — it will watch and listen for up to 2 minutes then help you craft an intelligent reply.

What's a Scenario Capture?

A max 2-minute session where you talk, click, type, or show whatever's going on — Augment captures everything moment-by-moment to deeply understand the problem.

Resume Matching, AI-Permitted Prep & Video Conferencing

This isn't a cheating tool — it's the future of not just interviews, but interview prep and how you work alongside AI.

Resume-to-Job Description Matching

Found your dream job but your resume doesn't quite fit? We'll help you auto-edit it to align with the job posting as much as possible — think of it like a ChatGPT-powered canvas for your resume.

AI-Permitted Interview Prep Platform

More companies are now allowing AI use during interviews — but that doesn't mean you can wing it. This tool helps you practice with AI assistance, not rely on it. You're still responsible for knowing your stuff — we're just the augment.

Video Conferencing Platform

Imagine prepping, attending, and getting help during interviews — all in one seamless environment. It ties directly into our long-term vision.
