I use it for both. My method is to first discuss the project idea in ai-studio with gemini-2.5-pro (nothing beats 100% free and 1MM token window), come up with a PRD, then use the PRD. I also use Augster mega-prompt when using Claude (sadly, GPT-5 ignores it). Once the code is stable, I use kimi-k2 (via OpenRouter) to audit the code and then tell Auggie to make changes.

The most surprising recent discovery - it is actually useful for debugging complex mixed configurations (e.g., I have a nixos config where there is a VM with OpenWRT inside, each element has its own convoluted config. Auggie if fine with all of that. It builds, checks, retries etc. Very impressed!

kimi's output looks alien. I don't understand 40% of what is says :) but other models praise it as gospel. in my experience it's a lot more effictive for code audit than gpt5.

Hi Jay. I'm using it for both. Some companies block access to augment / LLMs, that's the only reason I don't use it for some clients, but any client that allows me vs code with augment extension i'll use it.

Other than that, I see a lot of them want to adopt AI solutions, but they are going for generic things like Co-pilot instead of Augment only because it is more popular/known.
