# Coder Studio vs Warp

The simplest frame is:

```text
Warp is the agentic terminal. Coder Studio is the agentic workspace.
```

That distinction is more useful than treating the two products as direct substitutes for every job.

## Where Warp Starts

Warp starts from the terminal and grows outward into agentic development. That makes it strong when your main workflow is terminal-first and you want the terminal itself to become smarter, faster, and more agent-aware.

## Where Coder Studio Starts

Coder Studio starts from the browser workspace around the agent run.

Its focus is to keep these surfaces visible together:

- terminals
- files
- Git changes
- sessions
- review
- cross-device supervision

The product is less about rebuilding the terminal from scratch and more about keeping agent work inspectable across a broader workspace.

## Practical Difference

Warp is strongest when you want the terminal to be the center of the experience.

Coder Studio is strongest when you want:

- long-running agent sessions visible in a browser workspace
- files and Git changes beside the agent run
- review before trusting generated code
- the same workspace available from desktop, tablet, or phone

## Built-In Provider Reality

Today, Coder Studio's built-in providers are Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. The agentic workspace direction is broader than that, but the current product should still be described accurately.

## They Can Be Complementary

This is not an argument that one tool must replace the other.

You might prefer Warp for terminal-first work and Coder Studio for inspectable, cross-device agent sessions around a local project. The key difference is the center of gravity:

- Warp centers the terminal
- Coder Studio centers the workspace around the agent
