Amp (formerly Cody) Review 2026: Agentic Coding by Sourcegraph
A review of Amp (formerly Cody) by Sourcegraph, an AI coding agent with deep cross-repository code understanding and multi-model support.
What Is Amp?
Amp (formerly Cody) is Sourcegraph’s AI coding agent, built on top of Sourcegraph’s code intelligence platform. Available as a VS Code extension and web interface, it provides agentic coding with code completions, chat, and multi-file editing. Its key differentiator is deep understanding of entire codebases — not just open files, but all repositories indexed by Sourcegraph, including cross-repository dependencies. Sourcegraph transitioned the product from Cody to Amp, reflecting its evolution toward agentic workflows.
What Sets It Apart
Amp’s cross-repository code intelligence is unmatched. Because it is backed by Sourcegraph’s code search and navigation platform, it understands code across multiple repositories. Ask “how is the User type used across all our services?” and Amp can trace it through microservices, shared libraries, and API boundaries. For enterprise teams with dozens or hundreds of repositories, this level of cross-repo awareness is something most AI coding tools cannot match.
Multi-model support lets teams choose between Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Mistral based on capability and compliance needs. The free tier is ad-supported but includes full agentic features, making it accessible for individual developers to evaluate. Enterprise plans add cross-repo context, custom model configuration, and admin controls.
The Enterprise plan’s pricing is higher than most competitors, and the product’s transition from Cody to Amp may raise questions about long-term roadmap continuity for teams evaluating a multi-year investment.
Who It’s For
- Enterprise teams with large, multi-repository codebases that need cross-repo intelligence
- Organizations already using Sourcegraph for code search and navigation
- Developers who want a free, ad-supported AI coding agent with multi-model access
- Small teams or individual developers without cross-repo needs may find simpler tools more cost-effective
