Warp

The modern terminal with AI

GPU-accelerated terminal built in Rust, now evolved into an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) used by 700K+ developers. Features block-based output navigation, AI command suggestions via the Oz orchestration engine, multi-line editing with syntax highlighting, and a built-in code editor with LSP support. Available on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Includes Warp Drive for sharing workflows, real-time session collaboration, and BYOK support for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google API keys.

About Warp

Warp is an AI-native terminal emulator and agentic development environment that reimagines the command-line experience for modern software development. Built with Rust for performance and available on macOS, Linux, and Windows, Warp solves the problem of outdated terminal interfaces by providing a modern editing experience with features like text selection, cursor positioning, and AI-powered command assistance. It transforms the terminal from a passive text interface into an intelligent coding environment.

Warp integrates AI capabilities directly into the terminal workflow, offering natural language command generation by typing a hash symbol followed by a description, instant error explanation, and agentic coding assistants that can execute multi-step tasks. With Warp 2.0, it combines code editing, AI agents, terminal, and collaborative Drive features into a single workflow-native application. The terminal supports models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, and offers BYOK support for developers who want to use their own API keys.

Warp is targeted at professional developers and engineering teams who want to accelerate their command-line workflows with AI assistance. It supports PowerShell, WSL, and Git Bash on Windows, and provides team collaboration features through Warp Drive for sharing commands, workflows, and runbooks. Compared to traditional terminals, Warp offers a significantly lower barrier to entry for complex CLI operations, making it an excellent choice for both experienced developers and those newer to terminal-based workflows.
