Warp raises $85 million and launches Warp 2.0 AI agent
Warp raised $85 million and launched an AI agent that automates HR tasks like onboarding and payroll, then escalates to a person when needed.

Warp has raised $85 million in funding and released Warp 2.0, an AI agent built for HR and operations workflows. The agent handles onboarding, payroll, tax notices and benefits administration. When it encounters a case outside its scope, it escalates to a human and logs the action taken.
HR and operations teams evaluating the tool should test permission boundaries, rollback procedures and exception handling before delegating compliance-sensitive work. The product is relevant for professionals in education, human resources, management, operations and product development who need to assess automated systems against regulatory and organizational controls.
