I'm Lili, one of the engineers who built Oz. AMA!
Hi Product Hunt!
I’m Lili, one of the Engineers at Warp who built Oz — an orchestration platform for cloud agents.
Oz helps devs run coding agents at scale safely with orchestration, observability, a unified local <> cloud experience.
I worked on setting up our cloud environments with all the tools agents need to run code (there is a lot to unpack here, getting cloud agents to work on arbitrary base docker images was more challenging than you might think!), surfacing agent runs and artifacts like PRs and plans in our desktop and web apps, and integrating the Oz agent directly into GitHub actions.
Building with and on top of Oz has been so much fun. The platform is incredibly flexible, and the primitives we’ve built unlock a whole new level of experimentation and automation.
AMA about how we built Oz, our favorite use cases, and where we see the platform going!

Well Lili... let me be the first to say, Warp (Oz) really hit it out of the park on this one! I'm proud to say I've been using Warp since day one, at least it feels that long for me.
I'm just getting the hang of Oz, at first I was confused... "what the hell happened to my prompt" LOL, its not like you didn't put documentation right there to read "New Oz agent conversation"... who has time to read docs. Now that I've got my ESC (literal escape hatch), I'm working on building up my / command dexterity with Oz.
Warp has really helped me grow into the DevOps engineer I've always wanted to be, I've been working towards... keep up the great work!
@mike_laurel Glad to hear that you've been with us for a while :)
When we started using the new agent views internally, I definitely had a similar experience of needing to adjust my workflow and get used to the new keybindings. But once you build up the new muscle memory, I've found it to be a huge power unlock by making managing many agent conversations - both local and cloud - a lot more intuitive.
Anything new you've been trying with Oz??
Congratulations! Great work Lili. What coding agents use or can use the platform? What are the the steps to integrating and using for the Google Code ClI for example or Agentforce? And why would a developer do that?
Thanks Lindsay! You can use any CLI agent in the Warp desktop app (we have built-in support for many of the most popular ones like Google Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Copilot CLI), but the orchestration platform for cloud agents is currently specific to our agent, Oz.
Oz agents are best set up to take full advantage of our UI features, report output from work (like PRs, planning documents) and have it show up across our webapp (oz.warp.dev) and desktop apps, and are really good at coding :)
If you are feeling adventurous and want to experiment, you can also try getting Oz to run other coding CLI agents in the cloud -- our agent can use any other terminal app (see full terminal use docs if you're curious about this), and we support a set of prebuilt cloud environments that come with agent CLIs installed here.
