Acquisition

Harness acquires Augment Code's AI coding agents and team

The deal signals AI coding tools are becoming features of broader delivery platforms rather than standalone products.

• Harness acquired select Augment Code assets—including Cosmos, the Auggie CLI, and the Code Context Engine—with the team moving over; financial terms were not disclosed.
• Augment Code built AI coding agents for enterprise development, with its Cosmos platform coordinating fleets of agents to handle code review, ticket work and incident investigation.
• Cosmos becomes the "Harness Cosmos Software Factory Agent," pairing Augment's Code Context Engine with Harness's own Software Delivery Knowledge Graph to link code generation with production context.
• Harness itself is valued at $5.5 billion after a $240 million Series E in 2025, underscoring the scale of the acquiring platform.
• Harness CEO Jyoti Bansal, who previously sold AppDynamics to Cisco for about $3.7 billion in 2017, is pursuing an "idea to production" autonomous SDLC that fuses code generation with existing testing, security and cost agents.
• As AI increasingly writes the code itself, the real bottleneck shifts to testing, governance and deployment—this deal reflects a broader push to vertically integrate code generation into the full delivery pipeline.
