Amp July 21, 2026 Changelog

This update is a big deal for anyone who uses Amp to automate their work. Instead of you having to constantly check on long-running tasks or remember to do follow-up chores, your AI agents can now manage their own alarms. They will wake up on a schedule you set, do the work, and message you with the results.

What's new

• Self-scheduling agents: Agents can now set their own alarms to wake up later. When the alarm goes off, the agent remembers its past history and instructions, so it can continue working exactly where it left off without you having to repeat yourself.
• Automated team chat updates: You can now tell an agent to check on things and automatically message you on Slack. For example, you can ask it to find the slowest parts of your database every morning and send you a private message with the list.
• Automatic task monitoring: You can have an agent watch a long-running job in the background. It can check on the job every few minutes, alert you if something breaks or freezes, and message you when the whole thing is finally done.
• Independent problem-solving: Agents can now be scheduled to look for errors every hour. If they find a group of related errors, they can automatically start a new conversation thread to fix them and report back in your team's Slack bug channel.
• Automated code cleanup reminders: You can ask an agent to finish a task, like merging code, and then remind you in a couple of days to clean up temporary settings (like a "feature flag," which is just a switch that turns new features on or off) and release the update to everyone.

Improvements

• Agents are much better at handling long-running tasks. Instead of you waiting around, the agent can pause, go to sleep, and wake up later to check on the progress, making the whole process feel a lot smoother.
