Warp brings new diff-tracking tools to the AI coding arms race Russell Brandom AM PDT · September 3, 2025 The AI coding tool Warp has a plan for making coding agents more comprehensible — and it looks an awful lot like pair programming.
Today, the company is releasing Warp Code, a new set of features designed to give users more oversight over command-line-based coding agents, with more extensive difference tracking and a clearer view of what the coding agent is doing.
“I feel like with these other command-line tools, you’re kind of just crossing your fingers and hoping that what comes out the other end of the agent is something you can actually merge,” says founder Zach Lloyd. With the new features, he wants to “make a much tighter feedback loop for this agentic style of coding.”
In practical terms, that means you can see exactly what the agent is doing and ask questions along the way. “As the agent is writing code, you’ll be able to see every little diff that the agent is making,” Lloyd says, “and you’ll have an easy way of commenting on those diffs and adjusting the agent as it goes along.”
The general interface will be familiar to Warp users: a space at the bottom for giving direct instructions to the agent, along with a window for seeing the agent’s responses and a side window where you can see the changes the agent makes step
“It’s about making sure that you understand the code the agent is producing, and making sure that you can edit it and review it,” says Warp founder Zach Lloyd.
It’s 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.

San Francisco | October 27-29, 2025 REGISTER NOW With 600,000 active users and counting, Warp is still a relatively small player in the AI coding race — but it’s growing fast. Lloyd says the company is adding $1 million in ARR every 10 days, suggesting there are still a lot of users ready to pay for a better way to vibe-code.
