Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

So I was going to say, it totally does not need to write code.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

But what's cool about having it actually be a coding agent is that it gives it a superpower.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

So that if in the course of doing whatever you want it to do, it decides the best way to do it is by writing code.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

It's really, really good at doing that.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

And so...

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

Even for just normal knowledge work tasks, I find that these agents sometimes will be like, okay, actually the best way to do this isn't necessarily to just use the raw LLM response.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

It might be to write myself a small Python script that scrapes websites and analyzes the data.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

It's a pretty magical power when a coding agent does that.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

Yeah, I think what we're seeing is that these agents are going into every function of the business, including our customer service, where we have a pretty significant problem with fraud and abuse where people...

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

script the creation of accounts to try to get higher free AI limits.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

And then sometimes these people have the audacity when we block them to reach out to our support and be like, I can't believe you blocked it.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

Exactly.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

And so it's crazy.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

And so it creates a pretty big support burden for dealing with people who in the first place are violating our terms of service.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

And so we have put agents throughout this entire process of agents can sort of analyze the database.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

They can look at the patterns of usage.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

They can look at signals around IP and all other things that might indicate fraud.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

Then by the time someone on our support team actually looks at one of these

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

inbound support requests, the agent has put together a whole risk profile on the person and an engineer didn't build this.

Coder Radio
645: Warp's Holmes & Llyod

The person who built this is the person who is handling the support requests.
