What Factory does
Factory is an agent native software development platform where AI agents called Droids help teams plan, build, review, test and ship production software. It is built for engineering teams that want to hand off complete tasks, such as implementing backlog work, reviewing pull requests, generating tests, investigating incidents and maintaining documentation, without replacing their existing tools. Droids work across the command line, desktop, web, mobile, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Linear and CI. Named features include the Droid CLI for interactive or headless work, Missions for long running multi phase work, Automations for event driven or scheduled workflows, Droid Computers and a Public API. The home page does not list prices.
