Getting Augment in Zed has been a top request since we launched. Today we’re checking that TODO off our list with the release of Auggie CLI support for Agent Client Protocol (ACP)–making Auggie available in Zed, Neovim, Emacs, and any other editor that speaks ACP. Now you can have the best software agent, backed by the industry-leading context engine, in your favorite editors, terminals, and workflows.
Agents in more places
ACP is an open protocol that lets any client–like Zed, neovim, or JetBrains (coming soon)–communicate to software agents using a shared standard. But that’s just the beginning. With ACP, agents are now available in more surfaces-unlocking new potential for innovation in developer tooling. By supporting ACP, you can now get all of the power of Augment’s deep codebase knowledge and powerful software agent where you want to work.
Better Context. Better Agent. Better Code.
The future is agentic
At Augment, our mission has always been to build the best software agent: one that feels fast, powerful, and deeply aware of your code. The next decade of software development belongs to software agents, not just in your editor writing code but transforming every part of your software workflow. ACP is more than a protocol, it’s a laying the groundwork for the agentic era of software development.
Getting started with ACP
The early momentum around ACP has been incredible. You can now use Auggie in any ACP-compatible client:
- Zed: you'll need the latest version of Zed (0.211.6) and then install the Auggie extension from Extensions and launch a new agent from the agent panel.
- Neovim or Emacs: connect via your favorite ACP-compatible plugin like CodeCompanion (neovim) or agent-shell.el (emacs)
As ACP matures and more clients adopt the protocol, Auggie will be there. Check out the docs for all the details for using Auggie CLI with your ACP-enabled editor.
We’re looking forward to the future where powerful AI assistance is available in every tool developers use—not just editors, but terminals, browsers, and tools we haven't imagined yet.
