Warp

Warp is an AI-native terminal built for agentic coding, letting developers run and orchestrate AI coding agents alongside normal shell commands.

What is Warp?

Warp is an AI-native terminal built in Rust for developers who work with coding agents every day. It replaces the endless scrollback of a traditional terminal with organized command blocks and adds a built-in AI agent that can plan, run, and fix multi-step tasks on its own. Warp matters for anyone building production software with AI because it turns the terminal itself into a place where a human and several coding agents can work side by side.

How Warp works

Warp keeps the shell you already know but restructures how commands, output, and AI live together in one window.

Block-based output: Every command and its result get grouped into a single block instead of blending into one long scroll, so you can find, copy, or share a specific run without digging through history.

Agent Mode: Warp’s built-in agent reads a plain-English goal, breaks it into shell commands, runs them, reads the output, and corrects itself if something fails, all inside the terminal.

Multi-agent orchestration: Warp can run Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, or Opencode inside its own interface, giving each agent vertical tabs, notifications, and shared context instead of separate windows.

MCP integration: Through the Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI tools to outside systems, Warp’s agents can reach databases, ticketing systems, and cloud consoles from a single config file.

Cloud and local agents: Agents can run locally in your terminal or in the cloud through Warp’s Oz platform, so a long task keeps running while you close your laptop or switch to something else.

What you can build with Warp

Automated PR review: Set up Warp Agent to give a first-pass code review on every pull request, checking style, obvious bugs, and test coverage before a human ever opens the diff.

Bug reproduction pipeline: Point an agent at a bug report and let it reproduce the issue, trace it through logs and stack traces, and propose a fix, all without you manually re-running commands.

Legacy code migration: Use Warp Agent to scope a refactor or framework migration, apply changes across many files, run the test suite, and flag anything it could not resolve on its own.

Incident response assistant: Wire Warp into your monitoring and ticketing tools through MCP so an agent can investigate an alert, pull relevant logs, and draft a summary of next steps during an incident.

Personal dev workflow builder: Save a common task, like spinning up a local environment or generating a changelog, as a named Warp workflow that any teammate can trigger with one prompt.

Key Features

  • Block-based terminal groups each command and its output into a scrollable, shareable unit
  • Warp Agent runs multi-step coding tasks directly in the shell and self-corrects on errors
  • Supports running Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Opencode inside the same terminal
  • Natural language input turns plain English into shell commands
  • Cloud agents keep running in the background while you work in another tab
  • MCP support connects agents to databases, ticketing systems, and internal APIs

FAQ

What is Warp used for? +

Warp is used as a terminal that runs and orchestrates AI coding agents alongside normal shell work. Developers use it for code review, bug investigation, refactors, and incident response, letting an agent handle multi-step tasks like reading logs, running tests, and fixing errors without leaving the terminal window.

Is Warp free to use? +

Warp has a free plan that includes the full terminal, a set number of AI credits per month, and support for bringing your own API key. Paid plans add more credits and concurrent cloud agents, starting around 18 dollars a month, and the core terminal itself is open source under the Apache 2.0 license.

Is Warp different from a regular terminal like iTerm or Bash? +

Yes. A regular terminal just runs the commands you type and shows a continuous scroll of text. Warp groups each command into a distinct block, understands plain English requests, and can run an AI agent that plans and executes multi-step tasks on its own, correcting itself when a command fails.
