Warp is a modern terminal with a built-in coding agent: natural-language commands, multi-step agent tasks and cloud agents, using models from OpenAI, Anthropic and others. Free tier available; Build is $20/month with $20 of agent usage included.
What is Warp?
Warp rethinks the terminal with blocks, an editor-like input and an agent that can run commands, edit code and debug from the same window. Paid plans include agent usage billed at API rates, so you see exactly what you consume.
Business and Enterprise plans add SSO, admin controls, and on Enterprise, self-hosted cloud agents on your own infrastructure.
