This update is a massive upgrade for anyone who uses Amp to manage big coding projects. Instead of just having one AI assistant doing one thing at a time, you can now act like a team manager, delegating tasks to multiple assistants across different computers and projects so you can stay focused on your main work.
What's new
- Agent-to-agent teamwork: Your AI agents (smart assistants) can now create and talk to other agents. They can send messages and files back and forth to collaborate.
- Side quests: You can have an agent work on an unrelated bug or task in an "orb" (a safe, isolated workspace on your computer) while you continue your main work uninterrupted.
- Parallel testing: You can spin up multiple low-power agents at the exact same time to test your software in different scenarios—like checking how a website looks at four different screen sizes in Chrome—and have them report back with screenshots.
- Recycling old work: You can pull files from a project you abandoned previously into your current workspace so your agent can mix the useful parts into what you are working on now.
- Remote machines: You can tell an agent on a completely different computer (like a cloud server) to take a file, run tests on it multiple times, and report back.
- Cross-project updates: If you change code in one project, you can spawn an agent in a different project (like your documentation site), send it the details, and have it write the documentation for you.
Improvements
- Workflows are much faster now because you don't have to wait for one task to finish before starting the next. You can fan out multiple tasks to different agents and let them handle the busywork.
