Amp
Agentic AI coding tool by Sourcegraph built to autonomously handle complex, multi-file programming tasks
Free tier available; paid plans for heavier usage
Overview
Amp is an AI coding agent from Sourcegraph — the company behind the Cody code search platform. It is designed for the hard end of autonomous coding: large refactors, multi-file changes, and tasks that require deep understanding of your entire codebase. Amp leverages Sourcegraph's code intelligence to give the AI richer context than most coding tools can achieve.
