Factory AI

Factory AI is an agent-native software development platform that uses autonomous AI agents, called Droids, to automate work across the software development lifecycle. Droids can take natural-language tasks and plan, write, test, review, document, and ship code with adjustable levels of autonomy. The platform is designed for software engineers and enterprise development teams that want to delegate complex engineering work rather than simply use AI for code autocomplete. Factory supports development through the terminal, IDE, browser, Slack, and other workflows, allowing teams to use AI without completely changing how they work.

Factory Droids provide deep codebase understanding and can coordinate changes across large repositories, making them suitable for feature development, debugging, migrations, testing, code reviews, and documentation. Developers can choose models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google and adjust how independently each Droid operates. Factory also provides enterprise capabilities including security controls, SSO, dedicated compute, custom integrations, and deployment options designed for organizations with strict requirements. Its software factory approach extends beyond individual coding tasks into incident response, automated security reviews, documentation, release workflows, and other engineering operations.

Factory is built for organizations seeking to create an AI-native software development lifecycle where agents can continuously handle engineering tasks from planning through production. Its platform connects engineering context from code repositories, tickets, documentation, conversations, and other systems so Droids can work with organizational context. The company reports that its Droids are used by hundreds of thousands of developers and enterprises including Nvidia, Adobe, EY, Palo Alto Networks, and Adyen. Factory raised a $150 million Series C at a $1.5 billion valuation in April 2026, reflecting its growing focus on autonomous enterprise software development.
