In this week’sThe New Stack Agents, Zach Lloyd, founder and CEO of Warp, discussed the launch of Warp Code, the latest evolution of the Warp terminal into a full agentic development environment. Originally launched in 2022 to modernize the terminal, Warp now integrates powerful AI agents to help developers write, debug, and ship code. Key new features include a built-in file editor, project-structuring tools, agent-driven code review, and WARP.md files that guide agent behavior.
Recognizing developers’ hesitation to trust AI-generated code, Warp emphasizes transparency and control, enabling users to inspect and steer the agent’s work in real time through "persistent input" and task list updates. While Warp supports terminal workflows, Lloyd says it’s now better viewed as an AI coding platform. Interestingly, the launch announcement was delivered from horseback in a Western-themed ad, reflecting Warp’s desire to stand out in a crowded field of conventional tech product rollouts. The quirky “Code on Warp” (C.O.W.) branding captured attention and embodied their unique approach.
