Amp
Coding agent that runs in cloud orbs and keeps working after you close your laptop
Freemiumampcode.comUpdated
About Amp
Amp is a coding agent and development environment from Amp Frontier Corporation, the company that took over the product after it was spun out of Sourcegraph. Each agent thread runs in an "orb", a remote machine preloaded with the project's code, tools and plugins, so the agent can keep working after the developer closes a laptop. Threads can be followed and steered from the web, a Mac app, an iPhone or iPad app in beta, or a terminal CLI.
Best for
- Long-running agent tasks that continue unattended, parallel agent threads without managing worktrees, teams sharing an agent session
- Unattended Feature Work: Start an agent in an orb, close the laptop and review the result from the web or phone later.
- Issue-to-PR Automation: Assign a Linear issue to Amp and let the orb wake and work on it.
- CI Failure Fixes: Wake an orb when CI fails so the agent can investigate and propose a fix.
- Pair Sessions with Teammates: Invite a colleague into an orb to share the agent and live app preview.
- Server-Side Agents: Run `amp --no-tui` on servers or CI runners and steer them remotely.
Not ideal for
- Non-programmers, teams that need a fully local, offline agent
Popular with
- Software Engineers
- Engineering Teams
- Enterprises
- Developers running agents in CI
