    We have a way of turning off all the AI if you don't like it (Settings > AI > turn it off). I get the desire here.

    Warp founder here. It's cool to see the community excitement here. Note that we are going to add bring-your-own-model directly into Warp. Would love interested folks to weigh in on…

    we have a lot of users who like warp as a place to run other coding agents (e.g. claude code, codex) and have tried to improve the experience for those beyond what a typical termin…

    argh, sorry that we made it worse for you, that definitely was not the intention. we were trying to make the modes clearer. You can still basically get back to the same way of work…

    that's the correct read - we shared what we were building and they helped us integrate alacritty. it's similar to how mitchell h reached out and asked today if we wanted to integra…

    We hear this feedback a bunch and are trying to make Warp more customizable so you can pick and choose which of the extra, non-terminal features you find most useful . You can turn…

    Glad the workflow is working for you! In terms of monetization, we actually don't monetize the terminal at all, we monetize our agent and our orchestration platform (www.oz.dev). T…

    It's still a terminal at its core, and you can use it to run any CLI coding agent or use our built in agent. We've added features to make using CLI coding agents easier (e.g. a fil…

    Warp founder here. Great question. I outline the thought process in detail in our blog ( https://www.warp.dev/blog/warp-is-now-open-source ) But the tl;dr is that I actually think …

    Warp founder here. Totally understood on the feedback - one thing I would call out is that we actually worked with Alacritty on the initial implementation and they were super helpf…

    Correct, we got rid of this requirement a couple of years ago. No login required at all, except for using AI and team features.

    Warp founder here. We actually are chatting with Mitchell about integrating Ghostty so it's the terminal grid renderer within Warp.

    correct - our business is our agent and orchestrator, not our terminal.

    Comment #47939339

    It's good feedback. We've tried to make it so there is a single "turn off all the AI stuff" button (and you can opt into plain old terminal during onboarding as well, with no login…

    fair. there is a large segment of developers who find the command line hard to use or who just want a better, more productive experience using it. to be clear, you may not fall int…
