- Warp has raised $85M and launched Warp 2.0, billed as the first 'AI Head of HR' — an agent that handles administrative chores like state tax registration and DE 9C filings.
- Founder Ayush frames it as AI doing 'jobs no human should have to,' freeing HR to focus on culture and managers, and founders to focus on clients and family.
- A notable case of AI agents expanding from coding tools into full corporate functions; YC partner Harj Taggar congratulated the team.
