Warp presents three separate workflows: Factories, Terminal and Agent CLI. Factories do not require every user to install the terminal.
Suitable tasks
Prepare a bounded coding task and review proposals and approvals.
Limits and checks
Do not conflate the local terminal, CLI agent and factories service. Check their permissions, providers and execution locations.
A repeatable trial
On a fictional repository, trigger a small fix that must stop before merging. Check the diff, executed tests, logs and required approval.
How to decide
Keep the configuration when each agent’s scope and approval stages remain visible.
Frequently asked questions
Must factories use Warp Terminal?
The consulted product page distinguishes the products and states it is not required.
