What is Amp?
Amp is a coding agent and development environment built for the frontier.It allows developers to run agents in 'orbs'—cloud sandboxes where work continues unsupervised, even after you close your laptop or go to sleep.Alternatively, you can run agents on your own machine using the CLI and local runners.
Teams can plan work together in Spaces and follow threads seamlessly across Mac, iPhone, Android, Windows, and Linux apps.Amp is designed to reduce context switching, letting a team of agents assist with everything from code fixes to production monitoring.
