Steer, Don't Queue (Amp (Sourcegraph))
blog post · Story page
Amp now delivers a message you send mid-run at the next possible opportunity instead of holding it until the turn ends, so a correction lands before the agent runs verification you no longer want. Ship, Review and other built-in actions still queue.
In plain words
- Amp now lets you redirect its artificial intelligence assistant while it is still working.
- Your message reaches the assistant at its next opportunity, instead of waiting until its current work ends.
- Built-in actions such as Ship and Review still wait until the assistant finishes its current work.
- Users can change instructions before the assistant spends time checking work they no longer want.
