Warp products
# Warp products Warp is an [open source](https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp) development environment for working in the terminal and with coding agents. Use Warp for interactive coding, run the Warp Agent from any terminal, automate recurring work in the cloud, or connect a team workflow to Warp Factories. ## Warp Warp is the desktop terminal for running commands, editing code, and working with agents in a local checkout. * [Modern terminal editing](/terminal/editor/) - Edit commands, navigate blocks, manage tabs, and customize your terminal. * [Code](/code/overview/) - Review agent changes and edit files alongside your terminal. * [Agents](/agents/) - Start and steer coding agents in the Warp app. ## Warp Agent The Warp Agent helps you investigate issues, edit code, run commands, and complete multi-step work. Use it in the Warp app or from the [Warp Agent CLI](/agents/cli/), which runs the same agent in any terminal. ## Automation Platform The Automation Platform runs cloud agents from triggers, schedules, integrations, and APIs. Use it for background work such as issue triage, pull request review, and recurring maintenance. * [Cloud agents](/platform/) - Run background agent work in the cloud. * [The Automation Platform](/platform/overview/) - Configure environments, integrations, orchestration, and shared agent settings. ## Warp Factories Warp Factories is available in Early Access. A factory turns incoming engineering work into a repeatable, multi-stage workflow with specialized agents, review points, and measurable outcomes. * [Warp Factories overview](/factories/) - Learn how a factory receives, routes, and tracks work. * [Factory quickstart](/factories/quickstart/) - Create a factory and send it its first work item. ## How the products work together Use Warp and the Warp Agent for interactive development. Use the Automation Platform for background agents and shared cloud configuration. Use Warp Factories when your team needs a standing workflow to route, review, and improve work across repositories. ## Next steps * [Install Warp](/quickstart/) - Set up Warp and start coding. * [Start an agent conversation](/agents/) - Work with the Warp Agent in a local checkout. * [Run cloud agents](/platform/quickstart/) - Set up background automation. * [Set up a factory](/factories/quickstart/) - Route engineering work through Warp Factories.Tell me about this feature: https://docs.warp.dev/Warp combines a modern terminal, coding agents, cloud automation, and software factories for teams that build and ship software.
Warp is an open source development environment for working in the terminal and with coding agents. Use Warp for interactive coding, run the Warp Agent from any terminal, automate recurring work in the cloud, or connect a team workflow to Warp Factories.
Warp is the desktop terminal for running commands, editing code, and working with agents in a local checkout.
- Modern terminal editing - Edit commands, navigate blocks, manage tabs, and customize your terminal.
- Code - Review agent changes and edit files alongside your terminal.
- Agents - Start and steer coding agents in the Warp app.
Warp Agent
Section titled “Warp Agent”The Warp Agent helps you investigate issues, edit code, run commands, and complete multi-step work. Use it in the Warp app or from the Warp Agent CLI, which runs the same agent in any terminal.
Automation Platform
Section titled “”The Automation Platform runs cloud agents from triggers, schedules, integrations, and APIs. Use it for background work such as issue triage, pull request review, and recurring maintenance.
- Cloud agents - Run background agent work in the cloud.
- The Automation Platform - Configure environments, integrations, orchestration, and shared agent settings.
Warp Factories
Section titled “Warp Factories”Warp Factories is available in Early Access. A factory turns incoming engineering work into a repeatable, multi-stage workflow with specialized agents, review points, and measurable outcomes.
- Warp Factories overview - Learn how a factory receives, routes, and tracks work.
- Factory quickstart - Create a factory and send it its first work item.
How the products work together
Section titled “How the products work together”Use Warp and the Warp Agent for interactive development. Use the Automation Platform for background agents and shared cloud configuration. Use Warp Factories when your team needs a standing workflow to route, review, and improve work across repositories.
Next steps
Section titled “Next steps”- Install Warp - Set up Warp and start coding.
- Start an agent conversation - Work with the Warp Agent in a local checkout.
- Run cloud agents - Set up background automation.
- Set up a factory - Route engineering work through Warp Factories.
