How Software Factories Improve Themselves — Suraj Gupta, Warp
Warp uses outer loop agents to automatically improve inner loop agent skills over time
“you have another outer loop agent that watches the inner loop agent's work and improves its skills over time by detecting errors or taking into account user feedback”
Warp's harness development lead describes a concrete inner/outer loop agent architecture for self-improving software factories, where an outer loop agent observes the inner loop agent's trajectories and rewrites its skills based on errors and user feedback. Warp (~1M users) is pivoting from a terminal product to a cloud agent platform enabling teams to build automated software pipelines from triage to production. The pattern is actionable for engineers building agentic pipelines but the talk is cut off before the live demo.
