I appreciate the suggestion! But it isn't clear to me, from reading their marketing site, what they bring to the table from this perspective. Can you give me a more targeted pitch?

This page buried in their docs is a bit better than the homepage imo: https://ampcode.com/manual#why-amp

I haven't used them in a while so my info may be out of date, but they tended to track whatever models were the best and auto-use them for each task (eg, one for planning, subagent for a code search, other frontier for implementing). Their CLI seemed very well thought out to make you do things "the correct way" -- for instance, `/handoff` instead of `/clear`.

Sorry for the late answer and the missing context. usef- is right, the manual is probably the better page to share. Amp tries to give you a plug and play experience, where you can always see the actual costs and models/effort are autoselected for you. Some of my colleagues are big fans and use it a lot. I also like it, but prefer OpenCode.
