Overview

Amp is an AI coding agent from Sourcegraph that brings repository-aware task execution to software development. It can help developers move from a written requirement to concrete code changes, using tools and project context along the way. The product is suited to engineers who want an agent to make progress on bounded tasks instead of only returning an answer in a chat window.

What is Amp?

Amp is Sourcegraph's agentic coding product, designed to handle development tasks with access to project context and developer tools. Instead of only suggesting a line of code, it can plan changes, edit files, and work through a task in a more agent-like loop. The tool is aimed at engineers who want delegated coding work while retaining control of the repository.

Agentic coding is most useful when the task can be clearly described and validated through tests or review. Amp should not be treated as a replacement for engineering judgement, particularly around architecture, security, or production operations. Its pricing and supported interfaces can change, so current plan documentation should be checked before adopting it for a team.
