Warp Terminal Now Available for Windows Users

The AI-powered terminal application, Warp, has officially launched its version for Windows, expanding its accessibility to a broader audience. This new update introduces several advanced functionalities for the integrated AI agent, enhancing the overall user experience.

Designed to work seamlessly with both x64 and ARM versions of Windows, Warp can be utilized in conjunction with Windows PowerShell, Subsystem for Linux, and Git Bash. The enhanced terminal features a robust AI agent alongside collaborative tools that facilitate efficient software development.

With the latest update, the AI component of Warp is now capable of analyzing existing repositories. This functionality allows it to provide contextual assistance based on the code stored within users' Git repositories, which enhances the accuracy and relevance of its suggestions.

Warp's AI tool is designed to support developers by offering suggestions for improvements based on previous inputs and error messages through its Active AI feature. Additionally, the AI agent can respond to natural language inquiries, execute commands, and clarify output. Users can now link their Git repositories to the AI agent, allowing it to utilize the code as context for future queries.

Furthermore, the new version enables users to create custom reminders that the AI agent can reference, effectively allowing them to store personal preferences permanently. For instance, if a user prefers Graphite over Git, this preference can be saved for future interactions. The default AI model utilized by Warp's agent is Claude 3.5 Sonnet from Anthropic; however, users have the option to choose Claude 3.5 Haiku or OpenAI's GPT-4o as alternatives. Enterprise clients can also integrate their proprietary language models into Warp.

One of the standout features of Warp is its session-sharing capability, which allows users to collaborate by sharing their terminal sessions with others. Currently, this functionality is limited to executing shell commands only and does not extend to sharing AI suggestions or interactions. Additionally, users can store objects in their personal Warp Drive, which includes workflows (predefined commands with parameters) and notebooks containing Markdown documentation and executable code blocks. Users can also form teams and share content directly with team members.

In addition to its release for Windows 10 and 11, Warp is also compatible with macOS (version 10.14 and above) and various Linux distributions. Download options are available for x64 and ARM systems, including Arch, Debian, and Red Hat packages, as well as an AppImage. The free version of Warp allows users to access all offline functionalities, with a monthly limit of 100 AI queries and 250 command suggestions. For those seeking more extensive capabilities, a Pro subscription is available for $18 per month, offering 1,000 AI queries, while the Team package is priced at $25 per month with unlimited AI queries. Notably, Microsoft also offers a similar AI-enabled terminal known as AI Shell.
