FAQ
What is General Augment?
General Augment is the agent backend for your app. Product teams use it to add governed agents to existing apps without replacing their product backend, UX, auth, billing, or source of truth.
When should a team use General Augment?
Use General Augment when an app needs an agent backend with server-side keys, stable users, memory, governed tools, approvals, channels, usage, and observability.
Does every General Augment app need private capacity?
