Work with an AI coding agent in a terminal or project workspace, with explicit model and compute costs.

Meet Amp

Amp is an agent-oriented development product with terminal, project and remote-workflow capabilities. It suits a developer who wants an agent to work through a bounded task while preserving a reviewable thread. State the acceptance check before asking for an implementation and keep the work in a branch. Its pricing separates model usage from remote orb compute, so a free platform tier is not a promise of free inference. It is useful for a controlled coding session; a simpler autocomplete tool may be preferable for small line-level suggestions.

Getting started (documentation-based; not a hands-on product test):

  1. Open a branch containing a small reproducible task.
  2. Define the files in scope and the acceptance check.
  3. Review the planned commands and resulting diff.
  4. Check tests and usage before expanding the session.

Example task (illustrative): Fix one empty-state rendering bug and show the before/after behavior plus the test run.

Check the result against your original input and the stated plan limits. Sources reviewed on 11 October 2026 are linked below.

What you can do

Terminal coding agent

Project threads

Git-oriented workflows

Remote orbs

Model routing

Workspace collaboration

Where it helps

  • Threads retain task context for review
  • Separate compute and usage accounting helps assess a session
  • Bring-your-own provider workflows are documented

What to consider

  • Model and tool usage can consume credits
  • Remote orb compute is charged separately
  • Autonomous changes still require repository tests and review
