Agentic software development at organizational scale
Amp
The coding agent that never stops working
About Amp
Amp is a frontier coding agent and development environment whose agents work in 'orbs' - cloud workspaces where your app runs with live reloading, so you can send one prompt, close your laptop, and review changes later from any device through portals. Orbs wake on outside events like a new Linear issue or failing CI build, support multiplayer sessions where a team shares control of the same agent and code, and include a shared terminal into the running environment.
