What is Warp?
Warp is a company offering three related products: Warp Factories, a platform for defining and running fleets of coding agents across the SDLC (code review, bug investigation, refactors and migrations, incident response); Warp Terminal, a modern terminal built for agentic coding; and Warp Agent CLI, a coding agent that works in any terminal. Factories are configured as code in a factory.yaml file, which connects repositories, secrets, MCP servers, cloud providers, and integrations such as Slack, Linear or Jira, and sets the model, runner and defaults that agents inherit.
In practice, teams can use Factories to automate first-pass PR reviews, reproduce bugs and route fixes, scope and validate migrations, or investigate alerts and summarize next steps. The page also mentions evals, benchmarks, scorers and skills as ways to measure and tune agent performance and cost, and offers pre-built agent kits and an API.
