Quinn and Thorsten discuss how isolated Orbs remove the friction from running agents in parallel. They explain how they use agents for exhaustive verification and production feedback loops. Then they introduce jellyware, where teams use age…
With so much work happening in orbs there needed to be a new place to store Amp plugins and skills. So we added global plugins and skills. They're Amp-hosted, built for agents, and work everywhere Amp runs. You can now tell Amp to: "Create
We changed the Dial. Link a ChatGPT subscription and low, medium, and high only use OpenAI models: as the main agent, as the oracle, as the thread reader, as code review. Every model behind those modes is an OpenAI model, billed to your sub…
People are using a lot of orbs. We love to see that. We've shipped a lot of things so that Amp subscriptions keep covering the whole month of orb usage for almost everyone, even as orb usage grows quickly. Way back on July 27, we cut orb pr…
For remote development in orbs to be better than local dev, you need to be able to easily try out the agent's changes in your app, with live reloading. No VPN, no port juggling, and no waiting for preview deployments. Today, we're shipping

Amp's orbs can now receive requests and react to events outside Amp. That means an orb can wake up when CI fails on GitHub, when someone opens a Linear issue, when a monitor raises an alert, or when an event arrives from Discord. If it can
Three weeks ago, we shipped agents in orbs. Today, more and more of our work happens inside orbs. In fact, the orbs are quickly becoming the de facto "unit of work." They contain not just the code of the solution, but also the description o…
Agents in Amp can now set their own schedules and wake themselves up. When a schedule fires, the agent wakes up with its saved prompt and continues right where it left off, with all of its context and history. Works great with Slack, Puck,
You can now summon Amp in Slack. Connect your workspace from Amp's settings, then mention @Amp in any channel or thread. Amp sends your message to your personal Puck, which can initiate bug fixes, spike new features, answer questions about
