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