AmpCode

What is AmpCode?

AmpCode is a coding agent and development environment that runs AI agents in isolated cloud sandboxes called Orbs. Developers can direct multiple agents to write code, run tests, and ship changes while continuing work from a web browser, terminal, or phone. Agents keep running after the user closes their laptop, and each Orb receives a fresh environment with the project's code, plugins, and tools.

What are the features of AmpCode?

• Cloud sandboxes (Orbs)

  Each agent thread runs in an isolated cloud sandbox containing the project code, plugins, and tools, eliminating local worktrees and port conflicts.
• Live preview (Portals)

  Runs the application inside the Orb so users can view and test agent changes with live reloading through a browser pane without a local dev server.
• Event-driven automation

  Orbs wake automatically on outside events such as new Linear issues, CI failures on main, or schedules set by the agent itself.
• Shared terminal access

  Opens a shell inside the Orb shared with the agent via tmux, allowing users to inspect files, run tests, and debug alongside the agent.
• Multiplayer collaboration

  Invites teammates into the same Orb to share control of the agent, code, and running application.
• ChatGPT subscription linking

  Connects a ChatGPT subscription so low, medium, and high Dial settings consume it instead of Amp credits; Ultra continues using Amp credits.

What are the use cases of AmpCode?

• Debugging visual UI glitches from video

  A developer sends a screen recording of a flickering interface to the agent, which identifies the cause, applies a delay fix, and starts a Storybook in a Portal for verification.
• Investigating production performance regressions

  An agent uses automations to wake itself, queries production logs via OIDC-granted access, compares canary metrics, and reports fleet-wide improvements.
• Fixing CLI bugs across package managers

  When a user reports that amp clone fails under Nix Home Manager, the agent reproduces the error, patches the credential helper logic, provides terminal screenshot proof, and ships the release.

AmpCode Pricing Information:

• Amp tiers

  Includes agent usage and Orb time. Linking a ChatGPT subscription routes low, medium, and high Dial settings to it instead of Amp credits. The Ultra tier continues to use Amp credits. Specific prices are not stated in the source.
