Agentic coding tool

About

  • An agentic coding tool developed by Sourcegraph; a developer tool designed to maximize autonomous reasoning, comprehensive code editing, and execution of complex tasks
  • Available in IDEs such as VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, and in the CLI
  • No model selector; it always picks and uses the best frontier model on its own
  • Also has no token usage limits, designed to give users direct access to the raw power of the models
  • Whole sessions can be shared globally, so attaching an Amp thread to a PR lets maintainers grasp the context easily
  • Produces code that is more agentic and consistently reliable compared to other tools
  • Uses a prepaid credit-based billing model; never charges beyond the prepaid amount unless the user turns on auto top-up
    • Everyone gets about $10 free on sign-up and tops up more to keep using it
  • Enterprise is about 50% more expensive and offers additional features: SSO (Okta, SAML) and directory sync, fine-grained control over threads, workspace analytics, IP allowlisting, etc.
