The record

Product: Amp is a coding agent and development environment that works with code in cloud orbs, local machines, and connected runners.
Models: Amp uses multiple models, including GPT-5.6 and Claude Fable 5.1, for different tasks.
Orbs: An orb is a cloud machine created for a thread where the agent can work with the project, tools, and plugins.
Threads: Amp threads can be saved and shared, and workspace threads are shared with the team by default.
GitHub: The GitHub integration can clone private repositories, push branches, open pull requests, and read CI status subject to the connected account’s repository access.
MCP: Amp supports local and remote MCP servers, with remote definitions configurable for personal, workspace, or project use.
Editor support: The CLI can connect to VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and Neovim.
Slack: Users can mention @Amp in Slack to send requests to their personal Puck, which can start agent work and find or manage threads.
Security: Amp states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified and conducts annual penetration testing across its clients, backend, and infrastructure.
Data handling: Amp says neither it nor its subprocessors train on user data unless the user explicitly opts in; training cannot be enabled on Enterprise workspaces.
Encryption: Amp states that in-transit traffic uses TLS 1.2+ and Amp Server data and backups are encrypted at rest with AES-256.
Self-hosting: Amp says it does not offer self-hosted deployments, though users can bring their own model-provider API keys.
Support: For general help, Amp directs users to @AmpCode on X or [email protected], and says billing and account help is available by email.
Company: Amp describes itself as an independent agent research lab and says it builds Amp and operates Amp Labs.
