Amplifier is a modular, extensible AI-powered development assistant delivered as a command-line tool from Microsoft. It provides chat and agent capabilities backed by pluggable modules and capability bundles, with support for multiple LLM providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Ollama.

Use cases

  • run an AI coding assistant from the terminal
  • chat with an LLM in the command line
  • build custom AI agents with a modular framework
  • switch between LLM providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Ollama
  • add capability bundles of specialized agents
  • experiment with an open modular AI assistant platform

When to choose

  • you want a hackable, modular AI CLI assistant you can extend with custom modules and bundles
  • you want to experiment with an open research project for AI-assisted development
  • you need multi-provider LLM support (Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure, Ollama) in a terminal tool
  • you work on macOS, Linux, or WSL and want a quick-install AI assistant

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready tool with mature safety systems and stability guarantees
  • you rely on native Windows shells rather than WSL
  • you want a polished, officially supported product rather than an early-preview research demonstrator
  • your workflow cannot tolerate significant breaking changes between versions
