Overview
Factory is an agentic software-development platform for delegating engineering tasks to AI coding agents. Developers can use agents to work on repositories, run tools, and prepare changes while the team reviews the resulting work. The platform is especially relevant when organizations want more automation than autocomplete but still want development work organized around normal repositories and review processes. Engineering teams delegating bounded implementation and maintenance tasks to coding agents. A common task is implement issue fixes.
What is Factory?
Factory provides AI coding agents designed to carry out engineering work rather than only generate snippets. Its Droid agents can operate through developer tools and are intended for tasks such as implementation, debugging, code review, and repository maintenance. The product is aimed at teams that want structured agent workflows and the ability to run work in the background.
Agentic development is useful when tasks are well-scoped and acceptance criteria are clear. It also means teams need good repository permissions, CI checks, and review practices because an agent can make substantial changes. Factory pricing includes different levels for individual and team use, with enterprise arrangements available for larger deployments.
