Why is every company seemingly trying to re-implement agents themselves rather than making their product work with the existing ones?
But I understand that's not a viable business model. I'm back on iTerm2 now cause Warp isn't approved for use at my job (and never would be with all their AI pushing), and I've managed to pound iTerm 2 into something usable enough but I wish every terminal would copy Warp's text input style.
That was also the thing that destroyed it for me, since navigating between history entries started getting more and more unreliable and sometimes clicking on the input box would randomly resize the entire window or move it between screens. I don't entirely know how they managed that one.
It was also a bit of an experiment with a larger Rust codebase, which is outside my usual areas. I did pull out powershell since this was just for personal use on macOS. Been using it today and enjoying it in place of Ghostty, but merely an experiment and learning project:
Another great option (not mine) is Orca [3] and it's a lot more mature. Really nice to use.
You can't raise a $50 million series b on making a nice terminal. we already have lots of nice terminals for free
So the open source code on GitHub is the library that agents need to train on, to do all the economically useful work for 1/100th of the cost or close to free.
That is where it is going and the raised money will be going to the agents.
Why does any company do anything? Money, of course.
They hype up not needing a third party binary to remote and run agents against SSH'ed systems, but how does this "cloud agent" work then? Are they shelling you through their own back-end? Because that sounds bad and probably wrong? Maybe its a different use case.

I've read the product description and I don't see anything that's truly unique
Looks like they let you use your LLM of choice on anything your terminal can SSH into using their TUI without having to install Claude Code or their agent on a remote system. Also, you are able to have multiple shell instances as you would on tmux in one session, all with the LLM fully aware of each one (not sure if its a model per session, or multiple, or what).
I've disabled it all because it gets in the way.
