Harness Acquires Augment Code, Advancing the Autonomous SDLC from Idea to Production

Published

Introducing the Harness Cosmos Software Factory Agent, connecting code and delivery data so engineering work moves from idea to production without losing context.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Harness, the Autonomous SDLC PlatformTM company, today announced that it has acquired select Augment Code assets, including Cosmos and the Auggie CLI products, the Code Context Engine, and related technology. The team behind these products will join Harness, accelerating its work to make the entire software development lifecycle increasingly autonomous.

Cosmos will become Harness Cosmos Software Factory Agent, with a clear role: automate engineering work from idea to code. From there, Harness’s existing agents for software delivery, security testing, runtime protection, and cost management take over, carrying the work into production and operations, creating a seamless agent to agent experience.

Connecting Augment’s Code Context Engine with Harness’s Software Delivery Knowledge Graph provides insights across the full SDLC — what’s being built, and what happens to it once it ships. Harness is bringing codebase understanding together with delivery context, so Harness Cosmos can make better-informed changes upfront, and Harness agents can use downstream findings to correct and verify them.

“AI’s impact on software will not be measured by how much code it generates, but by how much valuable software reaches customers,” said Jyoti Bansal, founder and CEO of Harness. “Augment Code built Cosmos to create a software factory for repeatable engineering work. With this acquisition, we are bringing code context together with delivery and production context to help agents make better changes from the start. When Harness downstream agents identify an issue while testing, securing, or deploying code, they send it back to Cosmos with the context to fix it.”

“We set out to bring AI to the entire software development lifecycle, starting with context-aware coding,” said Igor Ostrovsky, co-founder and CTO of Augment Code. “Joining Harness is the next step toward that vision. Together, we can make engineering work increasingly autonomous, with engineers stepping in only where judgment really matters. We’ve seen software factories transform how companies build software. Now, with Harness, that same transformation is within reach for every team already on the Harness platform — and every team getting started.”

Introducing the Harness Cosmos Software Factory Agent

Harness Cosmos takes engineering work from idea to merge-ready code. When a requirement is written, a ticket is assigned, or a bug is reported, a fleet of Cosmos agents plans the change, writes the code and tests, and opens a pull request. Each agent works in its own isolated VM and pulls in an engineer only where judgment is needed, like approving a design or making the final merge.

Cosmos agents run as a continuous loop through ticket, code, and review. When a reviewer comments or a check fails, an agent fixes the issue on the same pull request. Teams can fork prebuilt Experts like Project Builder, PR Author, Deep Reviewer, and PR Fixer, tune each one to their own codebase, and deploy it organization-wide.

Augment’s Code Context Engine keeps a live map of the codebase, so changes fit the code already there. Model routing matches each task to the right model, and built-in integrations connect to GitHub, Jira, and Slack. Shared memory carries lessons from each review into the next change, and versioning and budget controls let teams run autonomous coding across the entire engineering organization.

What leaves the factory is a reviewed pull request, ready for Harness agents to test, secure, and deploy.

Shared context from code to production
Harness’s Software Delivery Knowledge Graph connects delivery and operational information, including builds, deployments, infrastructure, security, and costs. Augment’s Code Context Engine brings that same specificity to the code itself.

Before a change is written, Harness Cosmos will pull together the delivery context that should shape it: test cases, security requirements, past incidents and their remediations. Once that change exists, Harness’s downstream agents will use codebase context to reason about dependencies, risk, and what validation it needs. If something fails, the agents can loop until resolution.

Extending the Harness Autonomous SDLC Platform
Harness Cosmos joins the Harness platform, automating engineering work from idea to code. No matter how that code is written, the Harness platform already takes it the rest of the way:

Software Delivery Agent moves changes safely to productionSecurity Testing Agent finds and fixes risk before productionRuntime Protection Agent protects applications, APIs, and AI in productionCost Management Agent controls and optimizes cloud and AI costs

The integration vision focuses on connecting Harness Cosmos workflows with the policies, permissions, and approvals that already govern the Harness platform, bringing the same discipline to creating a change that enterprises already expect when releasing one.

Joel Kim Booster to present Rodriguez with the Voice of Visibility Award, followed by an Opening Ceremony Performance from Singer/Songwriter David Archuleta
 

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — APLA Health announced today it will present its inaugural Voice of Visibility Award to honor actress and activist Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (Pose, Loot) on Sunday, October 18, 10:30 a.m. at the 42nd annual AIDS Walk Los Angeles, a fundraising event celebrating life, honoring those who have been lost, and taking action against HIV. On-screen co-star and advocate Joel Kim Booster will present Rodriguez with the honor during the AIDS Walk kick-off ceremony in West Hollywood Park, which will also feature a live performance from David Archuleta. Registration is now open at aidswalkla.org.

“There is still a cruel distance between what medicine can do and who actually gets to benefit from it. We know access to testing, treatment, and consistent care saves lives, yet our most marginalized communities, especially Black and Brown trans women, continue to bear a disproportionate burden,” said Rodriguez. “Our lives cannot become negotiable when the political climate changes or when supporting us becomes inconvenient. If you stand with this community, that commitment has to remain when it is hardest. We are not disposable, and we deserve the same chance to live fully, love freely, dream boldly, and grow old.”

As the first and oldest AIDS walk in the country, APLA Health presents its Voice of Visibility Award to Rodriguez for her commitment to HIV/AIDS awareness and destigmatization, and her advocacy for the transgender community. Rodriguez lives this year’s APLA Health AIDS Walk theme, “Defend Care, Demand Action,” a message aimed squarely at closing the gap between what medicine can now do and who can actually get it.

“Michaela Jaé is a powerful voice for the community,” said Craig E. Thompson, CEO of APLA Health. “Voices like hers keep HIV and equity in the public conversation at a time when it would be easy to look away. HIV is no longer the death sentence it once was, but that progress depends on people being able to afford testing, treatment, and ongoing care.”

Rodriguez won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Series for Pose, becoming the first openly transgender actress to win the award, and was the first trans woman nominated for a Primetime Emmy in a leading acting category, also for Pose. She was also honored with GLAAD’s Stephen F. Kolzak Award and named The Advocate’s Person of the Year for her work promoting LGBTQ+ acceptance and HIV/AIDS awareness.

This year’s sponsors of APLA Health’s AIDS Walk Los Angeles 2026 include Premier Sponsor Paul Hastings; Grand Sponsors ABC 7, Gilead, and Paramount; Principal Sponsors Anthem, City of West Hollywood, ViiV Healthcare, Latham & Watkins, and NuvemRx; Major Sponsors Albertsons and Starbucks; Supporting Sponsors City National Bank, Baldwin Hills Investors, Ltd., and The Abbey; and Event Sponsors Amgen, Decron, Lionsgate, Eddie’s Pharmacy, KPMG, Queer Industry Night, Enterprise Mobility, Jeni’s Ice Creams, Keck Medicine of USC, and Room & Board Home Furnishings.
