# Agents overview

The Warp Agent writes code, debugs issues, and runs commands. Use it in the Warp app, in any terminal with the CLI, or in the cloud.

The **Warp Agent** is Warp’s built-in coding agent. It reads your codebase, follows your rules and skills, and asks for approval before it acts, and you can run it in the Warp app, in any terminal, or in the cloud.

Warp also gives third-party CLI agents like Claude Code and Codex first-class support, and [Oz](/platform/overview/) is the platform that runs and coordinates agents at scale.

## Where to use the Warp Agent

You can reach the same agent three ways. The method you pick depends on where you’re working, not on what the agent can do.

-   [**In the Warp app**](/agents/local-agents/overview/) - The full experience, with code review, agent management, and the terminal alongside your conversation. Start here if you already use Warp as your terminal.
-   [**In any terminal, with the Warp Agent CLI**](/agents/cli/) - Run the `warp` command to start an agent conversation in any terminal emulator, over SSH, or on a machine where the Warp app isn’t installed.
-   [**In the cloud, as a cloud agent**](/platform/) - Run the agent in the background from a trigger, a schedule, or an integration, without keeping a session open. Ideal for PR reviews, issue triage, and routine maintenance.

Your account, plan, model access, rules, and skills carry across all three, and conversations sync to your Warp account so you can move between them.

## Third-party CLI agents

Separately from the Warp Agent, Warp gives third-party CLI coding agents first-class support. Run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and others inside Warp and get rich input, agent notifications, inline code review, and remote session control.

## The platform behind the agent

[**Oz**](/platform/overview/) is Warp’s programmable platform for running and coordinating agents at scale. It provides the environments, triggers, integrations, orchestration, and observability that cloud agents run on, along with a CLI, API, and SDK for driving agents programmatically.

The Oz tab covers the platform in full.

## Open source

Warp’s client is open source under [AGPL v3](https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp/blob/master/LICENSE-AGPL), so the editor and terminal that host your agents are fully auditable. See [Contributing to Warp](/support-and-community/community/contributing/) for the source and contribution flow.
