Warp owns agent-to-human handoff

Zach Lloyd, CEO of Warp, on the 3 phases of AI coding
It belongs in Warp because the agent builds the change in Warp.

Reviewing context
Warp is trying to own the handoff between agent output and human approval, which is where agentic coding becomes real production work. If the agent writes code in Warp, then review inside Warp keeps the full chain in one place, prompt, plan, diff, comments, and follow up edits, instead of forcing the developer to bounce into GitHub or an IDE and rebuild context from scratch.

Warp has already built the concrete pieces for this loop. Its code review panel shows diffs for local changes, lets developers edit or revert them, attach diffs as context, and leave inline comments that can be sent back to the agent for another pass.
-
This is a different job from GitHub style review. GitHub pull request review is built around collaboration after code is packaged into a PR, with approvals, comments, and merge gating. Warp is moving review earlier, while the code is still being generated and iterated locally.
-
The broader competitive pattern is convergence around diff based supervision. Warp describes the diff view as the key interface for working with agents, and Cursor similarly surfaces agent edits in a diff view. The fight is shifting from code generation alone to who owns review, refinement, and acceptance of agent written changes.
The next step is that code review becomes less of a separate destination and more of a control surface for steering agents. As Warp pulls more of the software loop into one environment, review, debugging, testing, and external context from tools like Sentry or Linear can all feed the same agent, making Warp more like an operating layer for software work than a terminal.
