Overview

What Oz is

Oz is the agent platform behind Warp's local and cloud coding workflows. It is built for developers and platform teams that want to run agents in parallel, trigger them from engineering systems, and inspect what every run did.

The product supports interactive local work as well as background cloud agents. Cloud runs can react to GitHub, Slack, Linear, schedules, and custom webhooks, while the web app, CLI, API, and SDK provide different ways to launch and manage the same underlying agent workflows.

A configured cloud environment defines the Docker image, repositories, setup commands, secrets, and runtime used for a task. Teams can use Warp-hosted workers, and Enterprise customers can run self-hosted workers inside their own infrastructure.

Oz is most valuable when a team already knows which software tasks are safe and repeatable enough to automate. It supplies orchestration and auditability, but it does not remove the need for repository permissions, spend controls, tests, review gates, and ownership of agent-created changes.

Use cases

Who Oz is best for

The strongest fit depends on the job you need the product to complete, not the size of its feature list.

Platform engineering teams

Standardize agent environments, permissions, models, secrets, and execution across multiple repositories.

High-volume maintenance

Run repeatable work such as dependency updates, code cleanup, issue triage, and PR review in the background.

Teams coordinating parallel agents

Dispatch many coding tasks at once while retaining a dashboard, audit trail, and the ability to steer individual runs.

Agent-powered internal products

Use the API, SDK, CLI, and webhooks to build custom engineering automations on top of cloud agents.

Capabilities

Core Oz features

1

Local and cloud agents

Use the same Warp agent capabilities interactively on a developer machine or asynchronously in a remote environment.

2

Parallel orchestration

Launch multiple agents across repositories and tasks rather than waiting for one local session to finish.

3

Event triggers and schedules

Start runs from GitHub, Slack, Linear, custom webhooks, or recurring schedules for unattended workflows.

4

Web dashboard and audit trail

Browse runs, inspect transcripts and actions, share sessions, and monitor agent activity from a desktop or mobile browser.

5

CLI, API, and SDK

Launch and manage agents from a terminal, CI pipeline, backend service, script, or custom application.

6

Reusable environments

Define a Docker image, repositories, setup commands, runtime settings, and secrets once and reuse them across triggers.

7

Multi-model and skill support

Choose from Warp's available models, run reusable Skills, and connect MCP servers for access to systems such as GitHub, Linear, and Sentry.

8

Self-hosted execution

Enterprise customers can keep agent workloads inside their own VPC or on-premises environment while Oz provides the control plane.

Process

How the Oz workflow works

  1. Step 1

    Define the automation

    Choose a narrow software task with clear inputs, expected outputs, tests, and an owner for exceptions.

  2. Step 2

    Configure an environment

    Select the container image, repositories, setup commands, secrets, permissions, model, and execution host.

  3. Step 3

    Choose how it starts

    Run the task manually or connect a GitHub, Slack, Linear, schedule, API, CLI, or webhook trigger.

  4. Step 4

    Monitor and steer

    Follow the transcript and actions in Warp or the Oz web app, and pause or redirect the run when necessary.

  5. Step 5

    Review the output

    Require automated checks and human review before merging code, changing infrastructure, or acting on production systems.

Cost

Oz pricing and free plan

Oz is included across Warp plans, but agent runs consume credits based on AI usage and, for Warp-hosted cloud runs, compute. Additional usage is pay as you go. Annual prices below reflect Warp's listed 10% discount.

Free

$0/month

Core terminal and limited cloud-agent access for individual evaluation.

  • Warp Agent CLI access
  • Limited cloud agents and cloud conversation storage
  • Bring-your-own inference option
  • Additional agent usage available at pay-as-you-go rates

Build

$20/month or $18/month annually

Usage-based individual plan with broader model and cloud-agent access.

  • 1,500 credits, described by Warp as $20 of included agent usage at API rates
  • Extended cloud-agent access
  • Unlimited cloud conversation storage
  • Reload credits with usage controls and volume-based discounts

Max

$200/month or $180/month annually

Higher-capacity individual plan for frequent agent workloads.

  • 18,000 included credits
  • Includes the Build feature set
  • Additional usage remains pay as you go

Business

$50/user/month or $45/user/month annually

Team plan for up to 25 seats with administration and security controls.

  • 1,500 credits per seat
  • Team usage metrics and spend controls
  • Admin-configurable data controls and SAML SSO
  • Bring your own API keys and custom inference endpoints

Enterprise

Custom

Organization plan for advanced governance, deployment, and support.

  • Unlimited seats and custom shared credit pools
  • Self-hosted cloud agents and bring-your-own-LLM routing
  • Advanced controls, analytics, and codebase indexing
  • Dedicated implementation and account support

Assessment

Oz strengths and limitations

Where it stands out

  • Combines interactive local agents and background cloud automation in one platform.
  • Supports many launch surfaces, including a web app, CLI, API, SDK, integrations, schedules, and webhooks.
  • Provides environment standardization, run history, shareable sessions, and in-flight steering.
  • Multi-model architecture reduces dependence on a single model vendor.
  • Enterprise self-hosting can keep execution and source code inside a customer's network.

What to consider

  • Usage-based credits combine model and hosted-compute costs, so high-volume automation needs active spend monitoring.
  • Cloud agents can make broad code and system changes; safe deployment requires tight repository scope, permissions, tests, and review gates.
  • Some workflows require team membership, and self-hosted cloud execution is reserved for Enterprise.
  • Cloud conversations and Oz runs require conversation data to be stored for the product to function, even though Warp's contracted model providers operate under zero-data-retention terms.
  • A standardized Docker environment takes setup and maintenance before automated runs are dependable across a complex codebase.

Questions

Oz FAQs

What is Warp Oz?

Oz is Warp's orchestration platform for running, automating, tracking, and steering coding agents locally or in cloud environments.

Can Oz run agents in parallel?

Yes. Parallel cloud-agent execution is one of Oz's core uses, allowing teams to dispatch many tasks across repositories or workflows at the same time.

What can trigger an Oz agent?

Oz supports manual runs plus triggers from GitHub, Slack, Linear, schedules, custom webhooks, the CLI, API, and SDK.

Can Oz run on my own infrastructure?

Yes, but managed self-hosted workers are an Enterprise capability. Warp says the execution plane can stay inside the customer's infrastructure while its hosted control plane coordinates the runs.

How much does Oz cost?

Oz access begins on Warp's Free plan. Paid plans start with Build at $20 monthly, or $18 monthly on annual billing, and runs consume credits based on model usage and hosted compute.

Does Warp train models on Oz data?

Warp says its contracted LLM providers operate under zero-data-retention agreements and do not train on customer data. Oz cloud runs still store conversation data needed for run history and the product experience, so teams should configure their privacy and retention controls deliberately.

Bottom line

Our Oz verdict

Warp Oz is a capable orchestration layer for engineering teams ready to move beyond one-off coding-agent sessions into scheduled, event-driven, parallel automation. Its mix of interfaces, auditability, and hosting options is strong, but the operational value depends on disciplined environment setup, permission boundaries, review gates, and usage controls.
