    Amp Code

    AI Agent

    Amp is an agentic coding platform from Sourcegraph that can understand codebases, edit files, run commands, investigate bugs, search external repositories, and work autonomously on software tasks. It is available on the web, in the terminal, in IDEs, and on mobile, with remote “orbs” that can continue working after the user closes their computer.

    Developers & engineers
    Best for
    Amp is best for experienced developers who want a high-autonomy coding agent rather than basic autocomplete. It is especially suitable for large codebases, complex debugging, multi-file changes, code research, and workflows where an agent can work independently while the developer reviews the resulting thread and changes.
    Pricing notes
    Amp offers two main ways to pay: subscription plans that bundle usage and compute, or pay-as-you-go credits based on the underlying model-provider costs. For eligible individual and non-enterprise usage, Amp says it passes through provider rates without adding its own markup; the amount spent therefore depends on the model selected and the length of the task

    Pros & cons

    Editorial notes to help compare fit before opening the vendor site.

    Pros

    • Strong agentic workflow for complex coding tasks.
    • Can work in the terminal, IDE, web, and remotely.
    • Remote orbs allow long-running tasks to continue after the laptop is closed.
    • Oracle and Librarian subagents provide specialized reasoning and code research.

    Cons

    • Agentic autonomy can lead to unwanted file changes or command execution.
    • Usage costs can rise quickly during long tasks or when using expensive frontier models.
    • Pricing is more complex than a simple fixed monthly coding subscription.
    • Remote orbs and model usage may involve separate resource calculations.
    • Developers must review generated code, commands, dependencies, and security changes.

    Review notes

    Context from the listing review and editorial research.

    Amp’s main differentiator is its focus on high-autonomy, frontier-model coding agents rather than ordinary autocomplete. Its Oracle, Librarian, parallel-agent, and remote-orb features make it particularly attractive for developers who want the AI to investigate, plan, edit, run commands, and continue working across complex tasks.

    Extended features

    In-depth description and capability notes.

    Agentic coding from natural-language instructions. Code generation, editing, refactoring, debugging, and testing. Smart, Rush, Deep, and other task-specific operating modes. Oracle read-only subagent for investigation, explanation, planning, and debugging. Librarian subagent for searching public and private GitHub codebases.

    Use cases

    Building a feature across multiple files. Explaining an unfamiliar codebase. Finding and fixing bugs. Generating unit, integration, and regression tests. Refactoring legacy software. Reviewing code before a pull request. Searching public GitHub projects for implementation examples. Investigating how a framework or dependency works internally. Running long coding tasks remotely with orbs.
