Warp, an AI coding tool, has a plan for making coding agents more comprehensible, and it looks a lot like pair programming. The company is releasing Warp Code, a new set of features designed to give users more oversight over command-line-based coding agents. These features include more extensive difference tracking and a clearer view of what the coding agent is doing.
Founder Zach Lloyd explains that with other command-line tools, you are often just hoping the agent’s output is something you can actually use. The new features are intended to create a much tighter feedback loop for this agentic style of coding. In practical terms, this means you can see exactly what the agent is doing and ask questions along the way. As the agent writes code, you can see every little change it makes. You also have an easy way to comment on those changes and adjust the agent as it goes along.
The general interface will be familiar to Warp users. It includes a space at the bottom for giving direct instructions to the agent, a window for seeing the agent’s responses, and a side window where you can see the changes the agent makes step by step. You can change the code by hand if you want to, and you can also highlight specific lines to add as context for a request or a question. Perhaps most impressively, Warp’s compiler will automatically troubleshoot any errors that come up when the code compiles. The goal is to ensure you understand the code the agent is producing and that you can edit and review it effectively.
This is a new approach to the increasingly crowded field of AI-driven programming. Warp is competing with fully non-code tools like Loveable, as well as AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf. Foundation model companies offer their own competition with command-line tools like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex, even as Warp uses their models to power its own product.
With 600,000 active users and counting, Warp is still a relatively small player in the AI coding race, but it is growing fast. Lloyd says the company is adding one million dollars in annual recurring revenue every ten days, suggesting there are still many users ready to pay for a better way to code.
