Warp

What it is for

Warp is an agentic terminal: the official quickstart still (see the cover: Blocks output, Agent Mode composer, and the input editor) is the product. Use it when the job is run shell commands and an agent in the same window.

License is hosted commercial (Warp Preview / agent CLI also ship installers). Free prints $0/month. Build is the first public paid card.

What makes it unique: the cover is Warp’s own terminal chrome — command Blocks plus Agent Mode — from the official quickstart, a product window rather than a landing hero.

Key features

• Blocks terminal — each command and its output is a copyable Block (quickstart).
• Agent Mode — ⌘↩ / Ctrl+Shift+Enter opens a conversation that can run commands (Agents).
• Warp Agent CLI — warp drives the same agent from any terminal (CLI quickstart).
• Ask Warp AI — natural-language help next to the prompt (cover).
• BYOK / custom endpoints — point Agent Mode at your own inference URL.
• Cloud agents — hand a longer task to a hosted run and come back for the result.

Who it's for

Best fit: developers who live in a terminal and want an included monthly agent-usage allowance.
