## About

Warp Factories is infrastructure for building cloud software factories: fleets of coding agents wired into a team's software development lifecycle. A factory is defined as code in a factory.yaml file and supporting agent files. The definition names the repositories agents can work in, the secrets and MCP servers they can use, the cloud providers they can reach, the work sources they listen to, and the default model or harness and runner they run on.

A factory starts with a routing agent called the Foreman, which can delegate work to specialised agents for triage, implementation, code review and prototyping. Triggers such as an issue, a Slack message, a webhook or a schedule start a workflow. Every run is scored by scorers, and benchmarks compare models by replaying a team's own agent conversations. Observer agents can open pull requests against the factory configuration to improve it over time.

The platform is open at every layer, according to the site. Teams can use any MCP-capable coding agent, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, and any frontier or open-weight model, chosen per pipeline stage. Runs can happen on Warp's cloud or on self-hosted infrastructure in the customer's own VPC. Agents capture a screenshot or video of their work so reviewers can check it before a pull request is opened.

The product is aimed at engineering teams that want to automate parts of their development work. The site suggests starting with one low-risk workflow, such as dependency bumps or flaky test triage, and widening coverage later. Work comes in through tools a team already uses, including Slack, Linear, Jira, GitHub and GitLab, and Factories does not require anyone to use Warp Terminal.

Pricing is usage-based, priced per agent run, according to the FAQ. The site also offers a separate Warp Terminal with a free tier and paid plans, and an enterprise option with custom pricing. Warp says it is SOC 2 certified and that its contracted LLM providers operate under zero data retention.

The site lists customer stories from Rectangle Health and Docker, though those stories concern Warp's other products and are not evidence about Factories specifically. Factories is currently offered through a request-for-access form.
