The AI coding tool Warp has plans to make coding agents easier to understand. It looks terrible like pair programming.
Today, the company is releasing warp codes. It releases Warp Code, a new feature set designed to allow users to monitor more than command line-based coding agents with a more clearer look at what the coding agents are doing.
“We hope that using these other command line tools, we can just cross your fingers and what comes out of the other end of the agent can actually be fused together,” says founder Zach Lloyd. With the new feature, he hopes to “create a much more stringent feedback loop for this agent-style coding.”
In reality, it means you can see exactly what your agent is doing and ask questions along the way. “Because the agent is writing the code, you’ll see all the little differences that the agent is making,” Lloyd says.
The general interface is familiar to warp users. A bottom space for directing agents directly, a window for viewing the agent’s response, and a side window where you can see the changes the agent changes step by step. Like code-based tools like Cursor, you can manually modify the code if you want, but you can also highlight certain lines and add them as the context for your request or question. Perhaps most impressive is how Warp’s compiler automatically troubleshoots any errors that occur when the code is compiled.
“It’s about making sure that the agent understands the code it’s generating and that you can edit and review it,” Lloyd says.
This is a new approach to the increasingly crowded field of AI-driven programming. Warp competes with completely non-coded tools such as Lovable and AI-powered code editors such as Cursor and Windsurf. Foundation Model Companies offers its own competition with command line tools such as Anthropic’s Claude Code and Openai’s codex, even when Warp uses models to power its own products.

With 600,000 active users and counts, Warp is a relatively small player in the AI coding race, but is growing rapidly. Lloyd says the company adds $1 million in ARRs every 10 days.
