The fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal emulator. It's capable, scriptable, composable, cross-platform, and innovative.
We test out the latest product from Augment Code, a terminal app called Auggie CLI. How does it compare to other AI command-line interfaces?
- Workspace Indexing: Auggie automatically indexes the project directory, which is beneficial for context but raises security considerations (addressed via .augmentignore files).
Interactive vs. Non-Interactive Mode: The author tests both modes, highlighting the benefits of a one-shot, non-interactive command for quick tasks.
- Code Modification: A key test involves using Auggie to add Bootstrap classes to a Rails view file. Auggie successfully analyzed the existing code, generated a correct diff, and applied the changes.

The glamourous AI coding agent for your favourite terminal
AI coding tools are increasingly interacting directly with the system shell (terminal) rather than traditional code editors, driven by the rise of agentic AI and tools like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and CLI Codex. This shift, highlighted by benchmarks like Terminal-Bench, is occurring as some code-based tools face challenges and offers a versatile interface for developers.
