The Agent Behind the Curtain: Building the Oz Cloud Agent Platform

Official Schedule Context

At Warp, we’re building Oz to be the platform that enables people to be creative and build with

cloud agents. That sounds simple, but only because the job of good developer tooling is to take on

complexity before it reaches the user. The best tools fit into the way developers already think,

then make accessible work that used to feel out of reach. This talk is about the engineering

philosophy behind that work: how Warp’s evolution from terminal to local agent to Oz shaped the way

we think about building for developers. The focus is not on inventing brand-new abstractions for

their own sake, but on making a messy stack of real engineering concerns feel coherent: where agents

run, how they delegate, how teams control their environments, how humans can see what happened, and

how the platform leaves room for people to build things they couldn’t even imagine before. 4:04 PM
