Amp is a freemium AI coding agent and development environment designed for software developers and engineering teams. Its core primitive is the orb — a persistent background agent that continues executing tasks after you close your laptop, and can be run anywhere, including from a mobile device. Amp supports Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) with no token fees, and offers OIDC per-orb credentials for scoped, auditable production access management. Team-oriented features include thread sharing, multiplayer collaboration, and granular permissions. At the enterprise tier, Amp adds pooled credits, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, and IP allowlisting. Self-hosting is supported across all tiers. Integrations include Slack, Google Cloud, Storybook, ChatGPT, Claude, SAML/OIDC SSO, and SCIM.
