The software factory for AI coding agents

Amika gives your team sandboxed AI agents that understand your codebase, connect to your data, and run autonomously to validate and ship real PRs.

How it works

From task to pull request in minutes

01

Spawn agents from anywhere

Kick off agents from Slack, Linear, GitHub, the API, or CLI. Your team collaborates with them in a multiplayer chat UI.

02

Run secure sandboxed workflows

Write your agentic workflows as code, or run them interactively. Each agent gets a sandboxed VM to write, run, and host its code.

03

Auto-validate and deploy your changes

Define guardrails and tests. Agents iterate until they pass, saving you review time.

01

Spawn agents from anywhere

Let engineers and non-engineers talk to coding agents from the tools your team already lives in. Every conversation streams to a multiplayer chat UI where your whole team can watch, redirect, or take over mid-task.

  • Chat. Mention in Slack or assign Linear issues
  • GitHub. Comment commands on any PR or issue
  • CLI + API. Script agents into your own workflows
Triggers
  • Slack@amika fix the flaky checkout test
  • LinearAssigned: ENG-482
  • GitHub@amika address review comments
  • CLI$ amika start --task …
  • APIPOST /v1/tasks
02

Run secure sandboxed workflows

Drive agents interactively from chat, or wire them into autonomous workflows triggered by Sentry, Linear, or your own webhooks. Every run lives in an isolated micro-VM with root access — install any tool, spin up services, contain the blast radius.

  • Event-driven workflows. Trigger from webhooks or APIs, like opening a fix PR when Sentry pages or drafting code from a new Linear ticket
  • Isolated VMs. Root access, no blast radius to your infra. Accessible on-the-go
  • Shareable environments. Live preview URLs for any service the agent runs, promotable to permanent deploys

03

Auto-validate and deploy your changes

Wire up your existing test suite, type checker, linters, or custom validators. Agents loop on failures, fix what breaks, and only surface work for review once everything passes.

  • Programmable checks. Tests, linters, or arbitrary sandboxed programs that analyze and auto-fix your code
  • Inline invariants. Freeze files or pin rules to symbols in code comments that agents must respect
  • Runs everywhere. The same checks fire in agent hooks, git hooks, and GitHub PR review

Examples

Workflows in the wild

Real automations teams run on Amika. Each workflow is a definition agents follow on a trigger — no engineer in the loop until it's time to review.

Event
workflow: production-error-fix
on:
sentry: new-issue [severity: error]
steps:
- read trace + recent deploys
- reproduce in sandbox VM
- open draft PR with fix
- notify on-call
Event
workflow: customer-request-prototype
on:
slack: dm-to-amika
steps:
- parse request from message
- scaffold a working prototype
- publish preview URL
- reply with link, open Linear ticket
Schedule
workflow: daily-docs-update
on:
schedule: "daily 09:00"
steps:
- scan code changes since yesterday
- update affected docs
- open PR if anything changed

Why it works

Everything that makes in-house agents powerful

Use any agent and model

Run Codex, Claude Code, or OpenCode in the same sandbox. No model lock-in, and no markup on token usage.

Collaborate from anywhere

Talk to agents from the tools your team already uses. Every sandbox has multiplayer chat so teammates can work alongside them.

Automate agent workflows

Compose higher-level workflows that run on their own. Auto-fix Sentry issues, or turn customer requests in Slack into shareable prototypes.

Guardrails that enforce correctness

When agents ship 10x more code, review load explodes. Codify your rules (tests, type checks, custom validators) so only ready-to-ship work surfaces.

Full code and business context

Agents understand your dependencies, conventions, and workflows, so they don't hallucinate imports or break patterns. Connect Linear, Slack, Granola, and your other tools so they have the business context too.

Every session, recorded

Save every agent run with full transcripts, tool calls, and token costs. Replay any session, mine the best ones for rules and guardrails; and set cost ceilings or rate limits to keep usage in check.
