Overview
Amp is an agentic coding tool from Sourcegraph that runs autonomously across a repository: it reads code, runs tests and shell commands, and edits files to carry out tasks like fixing failing tests or clearing type errors. It works from a CLI, inside VS Code and compatible editors, Neovim and Zed, from the web to steer CLI threads remotely, and as a Slack bot for teams. Rather than fixing one model, Amp routes between frontier and fast models for what each is best at.
Our take
Amp suits developers who are ready to work through an agent rather than alongside one, and Sourcegraph has committed to that reading of where coding is going hard enough to drop the alternative. Anyone who wants autocomplete first and an agent second is looking at the wrong tool. Billing follows consumed model usage rather than seats, which cuts both ways: an occasional user pays less than a flat seat price, a team that delegates heavily pays more and cannot forecast it from headcount. The spread across terminal, editor, web and Slack earns its keep where several people follow the same agent run; a solo developer who lives in one IDE gets less out of it.

Pros and Cons
Strengths

Limitations

- Built around an autonomous agent rather than inline autocomplete

How we check reviews
Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works and reaches us, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. We require a working email address and use it to come back to the author, so a review has a reachable sender rather than being anonymous. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on what they tell us, plus the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot have a review removed, cannot buy one, and cannot have one changed. Paid placement and a paid listing have no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
