Warp Terminal Tutorial - Use AI Agents In Your Terminal With Your Own API Key

Data Science Basics | AI

Warp is a modern, open-source terminal with an AI agent built into it, and in this video I show you both sides of it: how it works as a normal, fast terminal without signing in at all, and what unlocks when you sign in and plug in your own API key. You will see a real Python script throw an error, and Warp read that error, suggest a fix, and apply it after I accept the change. No browser tabs, no copy-paste. We also cover pricing, model selection, usage and cost stats, voice mode, slash commands, remote control, and how to log back out to a plain terminal whenever you want. ───────────────────────────────────── 🔥 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ───────────────────────────────────── ✅ What Warp is and how it differs from a normal terminal ✅ Warp is open source with 64.6K GitHub stars - and why that matters ✅ The OpenAI connection explained: founding sponsor, NOT an acquisition ✅ Warp also runs other CLI agents: Claude Code, Codex and Gemini ✅ Pricing walkthrough - what the Free plan does and does not include ✅ Downloading and first-time setup on Mac ✅ Using Warp with NO account and NO AI at all ✅ Signing in to unlock agent conversations ✅ Adding your own OpenAI API key (BYOK) and selecting a model ✅ Watching the agent read a Python error and fix it ✅ Letting the agent analyze code and run commands for you ✅ Usage and cost stats - see exactly what you are spending ✅ Voice mode, slash commands and remote control ✅ How to log out and go back to a standard terminal ───────────────────────────────────── ⏱ CHAPTERS ───────────────────────────────────── 00:00 Warp Terminal in Action 01:23 Warp Website and Pricing Overview 03:58 Downloading and First-Time Setup 05:26 Using Warp Without AI 07:26 Signing In and Bringing Your Own API Key 09:14 AI Agent in Action 14:51 Tips, Shortcuts and Wrap-Up ───────────────────────────────────── 🔗 RESOURCES ───────────────────────────────────── ↗ Warp website → https://www.warp.dev ↗ Download Warp → https://www.warp.dev/download ↗ Pricing → https://www.warp.dev/pricing ↗ Warp on GitHub (open source) → https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp ↗ Bring Your Own API Key docs → https://docs.warp.dev/agent-platform/inference/bring-your-own-api-key/ ↗ Custom inference endpoints → https://docs.warp.dev/agent-platform/inference/custom-inference-endpoint/ ↗ Privacy and data control → https://docs.warp.dev/support-and-community/privacy-and-security/privacy/ ↗ Changelog → https://docs.warp.dev/changelog/2026/ ↗ Get an OpenAI API key → https://platform.openai.com/api-keys --------------------------------------------------------------------- ☕ Buy me a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/datasciencebasics ✌️Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/datasciencebasics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🤝 Connect with me: 📺 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@datasciencebasics?sub_confirmation=1 👔 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sudarshan-koirala/ 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/mesudarshan 🔉Medium: https://medium.com/@sudarshan-koirala 💼 Consulting: https://topmate.io/sudarshan_koirala #warp #warpterminal #aiterminal #byok #openai #claudecode #aicodingtools #datasciencebasics
