Warp

Warp is an agentic development platform with a modern terminal and Oz cloud agents, where teams define software factories as code across the SDLC.

Warp began as a modern, AI-powered terminal and now also offers infrastructure for running coding agents across the software development lifecycle. Teams define software factories as code, specifying repositories, agents, models, permissions and checkpoints, and can bring any model, agent framework or MCP-capable coding agent. Factories are triggered from chat, tickets, source control, webhooks or schedules, and status flows back to where the work started, while people can watch and steer runs from the web, mobile, terminal or IDE. Every run is scored, benchmarks compare models on the team's own tasks, and observer agents open pull requests to improve the factory configuration. Enterprises get centrally managed access and permissions, and individuals can use the terminal and Warp Agent CLI for free.
