What's going on guys? There has been a

lot of new updates lately in the AI

coding space. We just had Google Gemini

release their CLI tool. Of course, we've

had Claude Code. We have OpenAI codecs.

Many different tools. Then we of course

have our IDE, Cursor, Windsurf, a bunch

of different tools out there. And

there's a lot of different ways people

are going about their coding experience.

Now, in today's video, we're going to be

taking a look at kind of like a little

new hybrid approach for AI coding. Now,

this approach is what they like to call

the agentic development environment. So,

ADE. So, instead of IDE, it is ADE. And

this tool that we're going to be

covering in today's video is called

Warp. They just launched their 2.0

agentic development environment. So,

we're going to take a look at it, see

what it's actually made out of, and see

if this could maybe be a new potential

way to actually code with AI. Let's dive

right in. So, a lot of you guys may be

wondering, what is an ADE? And we're

going to dive into that in just a

second. But before I do, just a shout

out to you guys who actually commented

on my video yesterday on Open Code

mentioning Warp. Okay, you guys

mentioned that Warp, a lot of you guys

were saying it's pretty good. You like

it. Some of you were saying it's kind of

bloated. We're going to test it out and

see what it's really made of. Now, this

is Warp's website. All links I cover in

today's video will be linked down below

as always. And as we can see here, the

Agentic development environment. Warp is

the fastest way to build with multiple

AI agents from writing code to shipping

it. the best overall coding and terminal

agent. So, it's very simple to actually

get started. You can download it for

Windows right here or run Windet install

warp.warp and you can see here trusted

by over half a million engineers at some

of the leading companies and they have a

new 2.0 launch video right here from the

founder and CEO. If you're really

looking into this, I definitely

recommend checking it out. Given some

kind of features and whatnot here, they

have a nice looking website that always

helps. and number one on terminal bench

and swb bench verified 71%. So if we

look at terminal bench here and this is

the terminal bench leaderboard uh we can

see that warp is the number one agent

with multiple different models. So you

can see the date here and model

oranthropic accuracy right here. And you

can see number two is claude code with

opus 4 and claude code with opus uh with

sonnet 4 is number three claude code

with sonet 3.7. So you can see all the

different ones right here. Um we got

codeex and I'm assuming Gemini will

probably be on here anytime soon. Okay,

there's actually some interesting ones

here. Terminus, uh, and then Goose. So,

we may check those out in future videos.

If you want me to check those out, let

me know in the comments down below.

Also, let me know if there are some

other ones that you want to see me check

out because who knows, like you guys

saw, I may just do a video on it. We get

into Warp. The one I guess downside is

that there's paid plans. Okay, it's not

that big of a deal. Of course, many

different tools. Cursor, Windsurf,

there's paid plans, right? Um, so that's

fine. If we're looking at their paid

plans here, they do have a free tier,

which I'm currently on. And this gives

you uh up to 150 AI requests per month,

which if you're going to be using this

on a day-to-day is quite low. And I'm

not going to read through this entire

stuff right here. You can check it out

on their website, but their pro plan is

about 15 bucks per month. Okay, so it's

actually 18 bucks if you're paying on

the monthly version and then 40 uh 50

bucks on the turbo version. So this is

of course if you have a large team. Um

so yeah, there are I think unlimited

next command suggestions. So, that's

good. Three index code bases on the free

plan, up to 5,000 files codebase. You

get access to all the top models and a

few other stuff here. So, it's not a bad

free plan if you're testing this out.

Uh, if we look at that compared to

Cursor, I guess it's two bucks cheaper

than their uh plan right here for But

Cursor, you get unlimited agent

requests, unlimited tab completion, all

that good stuff. Um, and then here

you're getting only 2,500 AI requests.

So, not bad. As a side note, I was also

looking into the Wave terminal here, and

maybe I'll do a video on it in the

future. It's pretty good, too. Now, this

one's open source. I think they have a

lot of potential if they just add some

of the They have like Wave AI right

here, but I think if they add some of

the features that Warp has kind of like

that, which you're going to see in just

a second. I think it would be really,

really cool because I love this uh being

open source. Don't we all just love open

source tools? But anyways, let's dive

into Warp. So, once you download it and

you open Warp Up, it is going to look

something like this. So, you're going to

have to log in first um to Warp. So,

you're going to have to create an

account. It's going to ask you and

prompt you to do all that. Then, once

you do that, you're going to be in a

terminal like this. So, an ADE, what

they call it, is essentially like, you

know, your terminal but with more coding

capabilities. And I really do like the

way Warp kind of set this up. I do like

the UI for example. I also like this

too. Like we can click this and we can

easily switch to folders. So let's go to

like development. This is like on my

computer. Now we're in our development

folder. That's really useful. Like I

think that's really cool. Just have that

UI there instead of having to do CD

which I do all the time. But you can

click the UI and then you see that it

runs CD development. Now there's a few

different modes down here. So we have

terminal. So this is if you just want to

run straight terminal commands like your

typical terminal. We have agent mode. So

this is, you know, we're going to get

dive into this in just a second when we

start AI coding. But you can have fix,

explain, install, code, deploy, bunch of

different options. And then auto

detection. Okay. Um, another cool thing

too that I actually really like is you

have voice input. So this is good for

you vibe coders out there which we all

pretty much are doing some level of I

guess vibe coding um depending on what

your definition of vibe coding is and

then only usable in git repository. So

this would be adding stuff once you have

a git repository and then attaching

images. We have our different models up

here. So, uh, Claude Sonnet 4 Light

Claude, uh, Sonnet 3.7, 3.5, GPT40, 03,

uh, 04 mini, Gemini 2.5 flash. So, all

the different ones that you would really

want to use. So it's kind of set up like

cursor where you have that certain level

of you know tokens or usages but I guess

more like wind surf maybe but it's not

set up like um something where you can

actually add in your own API keys which

I think that is you know I like doing

having that capability as well. That's

one thing I do like with Wave. It

actually allows you to add in your own

API keys which is really nice. Uh of

course that's how it would work with it

being open source. So now that we're in

development, I'm just going to CD into

my sandbox here. And instead of using

shell, right? So this is auto detection.

So auto detection is kind of like a mix

between agent and terminal. It's going

to detect if you're, you know, using

either one. So I could I just used a

shell command here, but now I can in

auto detect say so I'm going to say make

a new folder called warp-ext.

And now we can see it's thinking it's

using the agent model from that auto

detect. And now it's saying I'll create

a new folder called warp test for you.

Uh okay. If I run this command and read

the output. So we can actually say going

to say make dur um warp test. You could

either say cancel refine edit. Uh we're

just going to go ahead and click run.

Okay. The folder has been successfully

created. Now let's change dur into it.

Okay. And now you do have to be careful

a bit cuz sometimes I guess the auto

detection won't always detect like this.

It's thinking that I'm trying to do a

shell command when I was actually trying

to do like a plain text agent command.

Okay. So actually if I changed it to a

little bit more of a conversational tone

like here change the directory please

into it. Now it's picking up that it is

an agent command. So it is working that

way. Now we can go ahead and run this.

Now, we may not want to always approve

things. So, we can actually go ahead

into our warp settings. So, if I go to

settings up here and go to AI, this is

where you can change some of the AI

commands. So, you can see active AI,

some of this stuff. If we scroll down to

permissions, so you can see your apply

code diffs, your read files, your create

plans, and execute command. So, I'm just

going to change this instead of agent

decides to always allow. Um, and then

you have some command deny list. So

different commands that you don't want

it to do such as maybe like remove

certain files or whatever the case may

be. You can see also it has MCP support.

So call MCP servers. You can add an MCP

server like so. Click on add. Here's

your MCP server JSON right here. You can

go ahead and do so. I'm not going to get

into all the MCP stuff in today's video.

So if we click on code here, we can see

codebase index right here. Index new

folders by default. You could toggle

that if you want. Now if you go to

teams, you can actually create a team,

which is good if you're running a team.

And you can invite your team members and

appearance. You can do some of the

theme, change typical appearance stuff,

features. So you have some general

features here, different session

features, editor features right here, um

terminal notifications, workflows, your

keyboard shortcuts. Now if we go ahead

here and click on this warp drive on the

top left, um this is what they call the

warp drive. So you can up here it will

show create a team. I already created a

team. So we have executive stride right

here. I could go ahead and add uh

folders, add workflows, add prompts, add

notebooks, environment variables,

import. Um, and you can add your team

members here, which is really cool. So,

if I create a folder, let's say prompts.

Boom. Now, we have our folder here. I go

ahead create new workflow. And you can

see here, you could add a title. And

then there's a command right here. So,

you could add a description, a command.

So like echo hello name where we're

describing what this command is. Enter a

single line command or entire shell

script. So you can kind of build out

workflows here. Add aliases right here.

Add environment variables. So I won't

get too deep into this right now, but

you do have some example ones down here.

So if I go um this is your person. So

this is your team right here. And then

this is your personal side. So you got

MCP servers right here. So you can add

MCP servers. You got rules. So this is

exactly how like a rules section would

work in something like cursor. You can

add your rules. So like force unwrap,

always unwrap in rust or whatever. Like

if you're using TypeScript, maybe you

want to say use types over interfaces or

whatever like typical rules that you

want for your codebase, you put them in

here. And then we have a starter

workflow folder example. So we can see

some example workflows. So if I click on

this, so if I click on this right here,

we can see our example workflow um is

right here. And if I click here, squash

the last n commits together. So we can

see this is the example workflow. You

could edit the workflow. Squash the last

n commits together. Squashes the last n

commits together. Requires rewriting a

commit message for the new squash

changes right here. Um, and then yeah,

so you could like get pretty I guess

advanced or do some cool stuff with

these workflows and I think they're

pretty cool. Um, and then notebooks.

These are essentially like Jupiter

notebooks that you could have right here

and you could follow along. So, uh, run

in terminal. Um, so you could document

certain processes maybe for your team or

just internally for yourself. um maybe

like let's say uh installing something

or running something, hosting something,

self-hosting, whatever the case is. And

boom, getting started with notebook. So

really cool stuff. I do like this sort

of interface. Personally me, I love

still like I love a lot of things about

cursor and the AI IDE space like and be

able to see the actual files, but I do

like a lot of stuff with this. I

personally like sort of like a hybrid of

um different tools. Um there's pros and

cons to each. So that's my uh opinion.

You know, I use maybe certain tools

together if I find that there's enough

value with different sides of things,

right? Maybe using clog code with

cursor, using warp with cursor, right?

So there's a lot of different options.

Let me know what your typical coding

tech stack is in the comments down

below. What are some of the tools, maybe

low-key ones that maybe aren't out there

yet that you may know that you really

like or ones that um that you just kind

of like using together and you think

other people could benefit from that

stack? Let let me know in the comments

down below and maybe we can get some uh

talks going down there. Okay guys, so

now we covered some of the warp basics.

Okay, we went over pretty much a lot of

the different stuff in terms of how to

use warp and kind of just how it all

works together. But now, let's actually

try to build out a basic project. All

right, so here I'm saying I want to

build an X.js app that is a fitness

tracker. It should track calories and

have some pretty cool features. No

backend at the moment, just the MVP to

start. And we're going to go ahead and

click on send. Now, you could attach

context if you're, you know, doing

certain things. Like if I click attach

context, we could um add this like this

command attach as agent mode context or

any other command at the top which is

pretty cool that you can do that. And

you can also save commands right here as

a workflow or filter block output. And

here you can do things like copy

command, share session, um a bunch of

different stuff here. So a lot of

different features that really put your

terminal on steroids. Okay. So, we can

see here that we are viewing a command

details and I'm going to go ahead and

allow this. So, if you click control

shift I, it will auto approve all agent

actions for this task. I'm going to do

so. Okay. So, we're initializing the

project with the template here. Okay.

So, index codebase. I'm just going to

click on index codebase here. Now we're

installing some dependencies and it's

creating the main application structure.

Starting off with the main page. Okay.

So it created the component directory

here and now it's creating the calorie

tracker component. Okay. And we can see

all the diffs right here which is

actually really nice. I do like the

interface. I do like how it's

collapsible. So it's not just like

spamming you with diffs like some uh

other tools may. I'm actually really

enjoying the experience though within

this. like the user experience. It's to

be honest, it's a lot nicer than a lot

of times when you're coding within the

IDE like you know with some other tools.

I really like a lot of these other tools

like Ader, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, but

uh sometimes it can get a little messy I

find. So this user interface is quite

nicer. Wow. Okay. Boom. So we got a

bunch of stuff done here. um worker

logger component with exercise tracking

progress dashboard with charts and

analytics. Uh fixing syntax errors in

main page fixing TypeScript errors um

and then boom, we got it to start the

development server. So let's take a look

at the first launch of this and see how

it actually is. Boom, we got our fitness

tracker. So actually really good job out

of box here. Getting a hydration error

right here, but that's fine. uh

calories, workouts.

I actually did a really good job for a

first prompt. Like that was literally

one shot prompt here. You can see total

workouts, hours exercise, calories

burned, all that good stuff. Calories

here. Um and then workouts. So we got

like baseball, boxing, rowing, etc.

Okay. So another feature I want to show

you is the parallel agents feature. So

you can have multiple threads with

agents working simultaneously. And this

is really cool because you know some

tools won't really allow you to do this.

And so let's go ahead on this tab. And

all we're simply doing is just having

two different tabs here. So I'm going to

say I want to make this way nicer, way

more modern, and have dark mode and

light mode toggle. And then in this one

I'm saying create a calendar tab too and

make there be a sidebar instead of the

menu items on the top and make it look

nicer. So, I'm just going to go ahead

and click send on both of these. And

then we're going to have both of these

agents working at the same time. So, you

can see here there is the uh purple or

the pink icon right here, meaning these

agents are working. We go ahead and

click on agents up here. You we can see

what's actually going on with these

agents. So, we have one creating the

calendar tab and then the other working

on the light mode and dark mode. And if

there is input that is needed from us,

it will actually let us know what agent

needs our input. Of course, this is

pretty powerful because imagine having a

bunch of different agents, a bunch of

different team members working all at

once. Now, you probably want to do this

at a small scale, especially first

starting out, so you're not just

completely making all these changes to

your codebase, but uh as models get more

and more uh powerful, I mean, think

about it. You could have a full

development team working uh on your

codebase. All right, so we can see both

of these agents are working pretty hard

right now. Uh going through many

different files and making some changes.

All right, so now looks like we got a

bit of an issue here. The whole screen's

white. So I basically just said, uh now

the whole screen's white and don't start

the development server. I already have

it started. So it's seeing the issue. Um

it is trying to fix it. That's one thing

you may have to be a little careful if

you're running multiple agents in

parallel because they could be changing

different things and some agent could

change something that another agent has

changed, maybe broke your app. So, I

would say be a little careful with this.

Maybe do two separate tasks that are

very different and have those agents

work on that. Maybe front end, back end,

or whatever the case may be or different

features specifically. Okay. And boom.

It's saying that it successfully fixed

this. So, let's go ahead and see. Okay.

And boom. I'm actually very impressed.

I'm not even kidding. I'm actually very

impressed by how good it did. And like

the animations right here. Okay. The

light mode and dark mode isn't working.

It just has a toggle here. So, that's

one issue. We can see the sidebar looks

pretty good. Got some issues here.

Calendar looks pretty good though. We

can click on these. See the calories. Of

course, this is all within a couple

prompts. Um, we just had our multi-

aents work on this and whatnot. So, all

in all, I'm pretty impressed with Warp.

Um, am I going to be using this? I mean,

I will probably be using a bit more,

testing it out. I like these terminals,

and I will try out some different other

terminals on this channel as well. So,

make sure to stay tuned for that. I do

think, you know, a lot of these

different tools like ADE, IDE, Terminal

CLI, whatever, they have their pros and

cons. And me personally, I like using a

combination of some of the top different

ones. I think a hybrid approach is

pretty cool and you can use it in

different scenarios. But let me know,

like I said, what your thoughts are in

the comments down below about this. Have

you tried Warp? Do you like it? Do you

not like it? Do you like something else

better? Or do you like just a plain old

simple ide? All in all guys, that's

pretty much it for this video. I just

wanted to kind of dive into this tool. I

know a lot of you guys were recommending

it from my last video. And if you have

any other ideas, let me know in the

comments down below. Guys, check out

some of the links down below in the

description if you want help with

growing your business with AI or check

out some of the stuff that we do at

Executive Stride. But other than that, I

will see you in the next video, guys.

Keep hustling, keep grinding, and of

course, guys, accelerate your stride.
