Juggle less
When you give every agent its own everything changes. Run agents anywhere and they keep working after you close your laptop.
Start →Remote Agents, Controllable From Everywhere
Orbs are remote machines where agents run without supervision. Every thread gets a fresh orb with your code, plugins, and tools, so there are no worktrees to juggle, no port conflicts, and nothing to clean up when it’s done.
Agents in orbs keep working after you close your laptop. Spawn as many as you need, for anything from a tiny fix to a complete feature, and pick them up from the web, your terminal, or your phone.
Change, Preview and Ship
Run your app inside the orb and try the agent’s changes live through portals, with live reloading. No local checkout, no local dev server.
Review from Anywhere
Review the agent’s changes and browse the orb’s files from any device, and edit like you’re developing locally.
Fix Bugs the Moment They’re Filed
Orbs wake on outside events: a new Linear issue, CI failing on main, or a schedule the agent sets itself.
Multiplayer
Invite your team into the orb to share control of the same agent, code, and running app.
A Terminal into the Orb
Open a shell inside the orb, shared with the agent. Inspect files, run tests, and debug in the same tmux session.

A Completely
New Experience
Something is happening out there. People send one prompt, close their laptop, and come back changed.
“it is indeed Orb'in time. the @AmpCode folks have cooked. Making new orbs is so easy and really unlocks a lot of the multi-agent behaviors that had just a tad too much friction before.”
“Amp with Orbs feels significantly above the current state of agents in the cloud, much like the jump from Opus 4.1 to 4.5 from late last year.”
“never imagined I'm gonna love using cloud agents that much until I used @AmpCode's Orbs. … Orbs was the only concept that felt intuitive from minute one. shipped more side work in one session than I usually do in weeks.”
“Having the agent finding the bug, then record a video of a bug, this is a new addition to my toolbox. Thanks @AmpCode for removing the friction of such scenarios with orbs.”
“I was at a meeting yesterday approving pr's, looking [at] screenshots and videos showing me implementation worked, fixing ci, improving test coverage and so much more. And my pc was off. All in orbs.”
“Orbs gave me same goosebumps and feeling when I first used ChatGPT. … One of my orbs is working for over 4 days now, coordinating with other orbs, sleeps when it offloads the work and picks it up when needed.”
“@AmpCode orbs feel like the equivalent of early claude code, where a paradigm shift is clearly on the way. imo it's not long before you don't have to worry whether you're developing on a local machine or not”
“we spent longer than we should’ve setting up Cursor cloud agents earlier this year … and then Amp comes out with orbs and they Just Work™”
“Going to sleep. Laptop asleep. Agents still running. @AmpCode Orbs are the future.”
“Tried @AmpCode's Orbs. Super good shit. Not unlike what [Ona] does but with the usual Amp team polish and a few additional concepts on top.”
“First time to do a straight push to main via @AmpCode orbs. Review the code change, test the app via the portal, review the code with the Oracle, ask screenshots for proof of work. All these from my phone. Still in the loop.”
“been using [Amp] as my main for a week now, it's really nice. first harness that made agents+vms click for me”
“Orb unifies local and remote environment controls, allowing you to control anything from any device. It made my iPad useful again.”
“Ephemeral sandboxes are a big deal because they change the failure mode. The agent can do real work without turning your main environment into the test surface.”
“Orbs are a fantastic addition. The execution and integration of local and cloud development are truly great.”
“I was really hesitant to try out @AmpCode's Orb feature ever since I had an unsatisfactory experience with Cursor cloud agents. But damn, it was so easy to setup, cuz there's literally nothing to setup lol. … I've basically made up my mind lol, not going to be running agents locally anymore.”
“Our team is loving amp right now, specifically how their orbs work. We're seeing a ton of movement bringing things off your local and into the cloud.”
“love @AmpCode, i have shipped more code in the last 24 hours than I did all last week. never go back to local dev.”
“currently sitting in a chair rocking my youngest to sleep for a nap watching 3 orbs work from my phone”
“I am using amp and orbs just a few weeks and I feel like: Amp & Orbs are built by humans… I can feel human touch and craft from using it, less features but better quality.”
“I’m at the “do I even need a computer?” stage of using @AmpCode”
“It's orbin' time. I think I'm ready to move most of my project work to @AmpCode. I'm even writing some custom plugins and custom infra around it to better manage my orbs.”
“Cloud coding agents often make their infrastructure impossible to ignore. Amp Orbs did the opposite. They made the infrastructure disappear so I could focus on shipping the change.”
“orbs have completely changed the way I work. I can't imagine going back to working locally at this point.”
“Orbs have been a game-changer for how I work. I can fire off multiple agents walking down the street and check on them when I get to the pub!”
