This is my sales pitch: "get your hands on the keyboard and try stuff". tbf, I prefer to use some slightly more colorful language though. .
@gcababie @GeoffreyHuntley @AmpCode The thing I keep telling everyone: just get your hands on the keyboard and try stuff.

There is no moat.
Did you know you can build your own AI dev agent in 343 lines of code? . (You can even use an AI dev agent to help you build your AI dev agent lol). In 4 minutes, I used @AmpCode to build a simple version of itself that has these tools:. 1⃣ read_file: Reads the contents of any

OH from an enterprise customer:."We never thought we'd say this in the Engineering org but we want to reward people who are top spenders". This is a forrest through the trees thing. STOP thinking about how a couple hundred dollars in spend in 3 days is too expensive. START

OH from an enterprise customer:."Our CEO, wants to potentially roll it out to Sales and Marketing in addition to every single engineer at [customer]. and use Amp to build features and an MR when talking to customers.". This is my favorite. Why wait for for product design cycles.

OH from an enterprise customer: ."With the the right prompting we're seeing about 80% code written -- it's taking a senior engineer and putting rockets on their back. Stuff they'd do in 4 hours they're letting Amp do it while they're in a meeting.".

It's crazy how often I see tweets like "<ai tool x> is crazy, puts <ai tool b> to shame" and I've never heard of either of them and still know that @AmpCode is better.

I am not a religious man, but the existence of @AmpCode and stone fruit in the Summer makes me question everything.

RT @jaredhulbert: Anybody else using @AmpCode for DevOps / SRE work?. It works really well out of the box, checkout my demo.

Glad you can feel the Haaspower!.
Tried @AmpCode. Feels like showing up to a go-kart race in an F1 car. Pricey, yeah—but that's the point. There's a full buffet of power under the hood. Very neat!.

We are not far from individual devs coralling and deploying hundreds of agents and subagents on a regular basis. It's about context management. It's about efficiency. It's about speed.
Generally hundreds of small, individual issues are tough for AI agents to solve in one session. I had @AmpCode spawn (in total) 36 or so subagents to fix more than a hundred linter issues in a proj, ranging from fixes to unused variables, changes that would modify the program.

This reads as: Excel agent, used to walking all over the Nuggets, is finally checked. Is that the case @NBABlackburn ?. If that's the case, I love it. Nice work Ben Wallace.

Can confirm. They are eager for stuff that actually works.
some intern at mckinsey is probably slopcoating a report on this but let me give you an insider news: most large corps are not happy with the agentic systems & POCs they’ve done this year. 2025 was supposed to be the year of agents. so far it’s been the year of letdowns.
