What is Augment Cosmos?
Cosmos runs your agents in the cloud. They read your repos, work in sandboxed VMs, and wake up on events from GitHub, Slack, Linear, PagerDuty, webhooks, and cron. You drive them from the webapp, your phone, or Slack — whichever surface you’re already in.Core Concepts
Five concepts cover the whole product:| Concept | What it is |
|---|---|
| Environment | A reusable virtual machine where your Experts run. Bundles a name, base image, repositories, environment variables, and visibility. |
| Expert | A reusable template that defines an agent’s behavior. It includes a name, instructions, environment, system prompt, model, and which capabilities it has access to, triggers and events it can react to, and visibility — either shared or private. |
| ↳ Capability | A bundle of tools or MCP servers that give an Expert a specific ability (CLI Tools, GitHub, Linear, Slack, Web Access, etc.). |
| ↳ Trigger | A structured notification that turns a real-world event into an Expert action. Sources include GitHub (a new PR), Linear (a status change), Slack (a new message), PagerDuty (a P0 incident), a cron schedule, or a custom webhook. |
| ↳ Visibility | Controls whether an Environment or Expert is private to you or shared across your organization. |
| Session | The conversation with an Expert — every message, turn, and tool call. Sessions can be private or shared, and are accessible from the web, mobile, and Slack. |
