"@AlmondVoice I am liking Almond a lot It is super fast much faster than superwhisper and essentially as accurate. A few suggested improvements (maybe these are solved and I missed them): - If I hit the hotkey to start dictation then press Esc I'd like dictation to stop. I can press the dictation button again to stop it but then the text gets inserted (which I don't want). Or I can press the Stop square button but that requires using the mouse. - I would much prefer the option (and make it the default) for Almond to live in the macOS menubar. I don't want it in my dock and if I turn that off"

"Oh I see you just shipped a menu bar app: IMO: I don't like the 'a' icon. It feels like a logo rather than something functional. For superwhisper theirs looks less logo-marketing-y up there at least. Another thought I had: it's gonna be brutally competitive in the "$10-ish per month voice dictation category". For professionals using your app they will get way way way more than that in value out of it. There are single Amp prompts dictated by Almond that cost me many times Almond's monthly fee. For me the biggest thing is somehow finding my most common dictation mistakes and letting me correct"

"If it's just one mode yes it's fine. But it's a slippery slope. You probably want some MCP tools to help you plan but can they run in plan mode (do they have side effects) Then you have multiple plan modes. In practice probably someone at your company defined them and you don't know what they do. Etc. You refer to subagents and modes interchangeably but they are different concepts and any tools that implemented the "obvious" idea of modes are now having to bolt on subagents. 100% we get things wrong in Amp and we admit when we do and try to fix it asap.

"If Amp's (or some other agent's) existing local search tools work well for you then you're all good. Deep Search is for people with big codebases and/or many repositories. It can be a lot faster and simpler to offload search to a server the results can be higher quality and you avoid polluting your local agent's context window with all the intermediate tool calls. That's why your coding agent might benefit from Deep Search. But it's also a great end-user UI for humans that makes it really smooth to diagnose a bug or understand a part of your codebase"

"@AlmondVoice I am liking Almond a lot It is super fast much faster than superwhisper and essentially as accurate. A few suggested improvements (maybe these are solved and I missed them): - If I hit the hotkey to start dictation then press Esc I'd like dictation to stop. I can press the dictation button again to stop it but then the text gets inserted (which I don't want). Or I can press the Stop square button but that requires using the mouse. - I would much prefer the option (and make it the default) for Almond to live in the macOS menubar.

"OH: "Deep Search gets more unsolicited fan mail than any other dev tool we have ever used" It's in Sourcegraph code search now and will be in Amp soon helping it in megarepo/polyrepos. This is the code search we wanted to build from day [--] and now it's possible"

"That OH is from a customer at dinner in NYC last night. On your code search instance just click Deep Search at the top. It's self explanatory. If it's not there ask your admin. More info at and all the nice screenshots and videos are coming soon. https://sourcegraph.com/docs/deep-search https://sourcegraph.com/docs/deep-search"

"If Amp's (or some other agent's) existing local search tools work well for you then you're all good. Deep Search is for people with big codebases and/or many repositories. It can be a lot faster and simpler to offload search to a server the results can be higher quality and you avoid polluting your local agent's context window with all the intermediate tool calls. That's why your coding agent might benefit from Deep Search. But it's also a great end-user UI for humans that makes it really smooth to diagnose a bug or understand a part of your codebase"

"Amp is #1 in this guy's comparison of PR merge rates across all major agentic coding tools which can be a good proxy for result quality. And he uses Amp as his daily driver. A few days into this week even after @FactoryAI and @AnthropicAI big launches @AmpCode still has the highest merged PR success rates (it's my personal daily driver) My prediction for the next two weeks is that Factory climbs up with CLI support and same with CC as [---] gets https://t.co/5m8hwGD3UV A few days into this week even after @FactoryAI and @AnthropicAI big launches @AmpCode still has the highest merged PR success"

"The #1 Amp user at many companies is a bot or agent theyve built on top of Amp for code review migrations etc. The Amp SDK makes this a lot easier now. Its official: the Amp TypeScript SDK is here.

"Its a cool idea and I wish them the best. But it would slow us down and constrain us too much to implement. Things change so fast and a new model capability could come out tomorrow that might not fit into ACP. And then we would have one more UI to maintain with different capabilities"

"@toolbar23 @mitchellh Amp uses Sonnet [---] for the main agent and GPT-5 for the oracle (which you can invoke by just asking for it). The combo is good. Amp is not about cost optimization we want top quality at all costs right now"
