Overview
Amp is a coding agent and development environment. It runs as a command-line tool on your own machine and in Orbs, remote cloud machines where each thread gets a fresh environment with your code, plugins and tools. Agents in an Orb can keep working after you close your laptop, and you can follow and review their progress from the web, the terminal or a phone.
Key features
- Amp CLI for Windows, macOS, Linux and WSL, plus a headless mode for servers and CI
- Orbs: remote machines where agents keep running in the background
- Portals for previewing the app an agent is changing
- Event-driven work triggered by new issues, failing CI or schedules
- Multiplayer threads and a shared terminal for teammates
Who it’s for
Developers who want an agent that can work on longer tasks in the background, and teams that want to share and review agent sessions.
Pricing model
Free Hobby plan; paid Individual plans include agent usage and Orb time, with options for teams and enterprises. Prices and limits change often, so always confirm on the official website.
Things to consider
- Background agents still need human review before changes are merged.
- Usage is credit-based, so costs depend on how much agent time you use.
- Check which repositories and secrets you expose to remote machines.
