Warp products overview
# Warp products overview Warp is an [open-source](https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp) **Agentic Development Environment**. With Warp, you can run commands in a desktop terminal, use the Warp Agent in a local checkout, and automate background work in the cloud. Teams can use Warp Factories to move work through triage, implementation, and review. ## Warp With the Warp desktop terminal, you can run commands, edit code, and work 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 terminal 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 A factory is a team of cloud agents connected to your repositories. It routes work from Slack, GitHub, Linear, or Jira through triage, planning, implementation, and review. The output, usually a pull request, is returned to the thread or issue where the work started. * [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 Start and steer interactive work in the Warp terminal with the Warp Agent. For work that starts from a schedule, integration, or API, the Automation Platform runs agents in the cloud. Warp Factories builds on the Automation Platform so teams can route incoming work through repeatable workflows with specialized agents and review stages. ## Related pages * [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. * [Privacy and security](/support-and-community/privacy-and-security/privacy/) - Review Warp's data handling, privacy, and security practices.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.
