Warp
the six Ws · specification
Developed by Warp, a commercial developer-tools company.
Warp is an AI-native terminal whose Agent Mode executes multi-step natural-language tasks directly in the shell, and can run its own Oz agent or external ones like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.
Distributed as a downloadable terminal application for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Launched as a terminal in 2021, added Agent Mode and multi-agent support through 2024 to 2026.
It exists to turn the terminal itself into an agent-centric development environment rather than a passive command shell.
Requires a Warp account for AI features and API access or credentials for whichever LLM-backed agent is invoked.
Closed-source commercial application with a free tier, terminal session content and commands are sent to Warp's cloud or the chosen agent's provider when AI features are used.
