Factory

Factory is a revolutionary AI platform designed to serve as a command center for software development, effectively placing an engineer in every browser tab. It leverages advanced AI agents, known as 'Droids', to assist and automate tasks across the entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). These Droids are not just code autocompleters; they are autonomous agents capable of understanding complex requirements, planning solutions, and delivering complete, merge-ready work. The platform is built to collaborate with human engineers, augmenting their capabilities and freeing them to focus on high-level architecture and innovation rather than repetitive tasks.

How to use Factory

Using Factory is an intuitive process designed to integrate seamlessly into existing developer workflows. Users delegate tasks to Droids through natural language commands or by providing context like issue tickets or alert details. For example, a developer can assign a backlog item to a Droid. The Droid will then analyze the requirements, plan the implementation steps, write the necessary code, generate tests, and submit a merge-ready pull request for human review. In an incident scenario, an engineer can feed the Droid exception details from an alert. The Droid will trace the root cause, post a Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and open a pull request with a proposed fix, often before the on-call pager has cooled down.

Core Features of Factory

• Autonomous Droids: AI agents that can independently handle end-to-end software development tasks, from planning to pull request delivery.
• Full SDLC Automation: Assists with every stage, including understanding requirements, planning, coding, testing, documentation, and incident response.
• Merge-Ready Pull Requests: Droids generate high-quality, tested code that is ready for review and merging, significantly reducing iteration time.
• Automated Incident Response: Rapidly diagnoses production issues, identifies root causes, and generates fixes, drastically reducing Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR).
• Intelligent Documentation: Unpacks complex systems to produce polished, professional-quality documents like architecture deep-dives and RFC-ready reports.
• Parallel Task Execution: Users can spin up multiple Droids simultaneously in different browser tabs to work on tasks in parallel, maximizing team velocity.
• Terminal Execution & Cloud Environments: Droids can run CLI commands for testing, linting, and interacting with cloud infrastructure within secure, customizable cloud development environments.
• Learning & Memory: Droids learn over time about your organization's codebase, processes, and preferences to become more effective with each task.
• Enterprise-Grade Security: Offers self-hosting options, SSO/SAML integration, and complies with SOC II, GDPR, ISO 42001, and CCPA standards to protect intellectual property.

Use Cases for Factory

Accelerating Feature Development: Teams can clear their backlogs faster by delegating feature tickets and bug fixes to Droids. This turns the queue into shipped code, allowing human engineers to focus on more strategic initiatives.

Streamlining Incident Management: When a production alert fires, Factory can be used to immediately investigate. As demonstrated by Empower, it can reduce incident response times by up to 40% by quickly identifying the problematic change and generating a fix.

Onboarding and System Understanding: New engineers can get up to speed quickly by asking a Droid to generate a detailed architectural overview of a complex service. This is also invaluable for planning large-scale refactoring projects.

Automating Repetitive Chores: Droids can handle tedious tasks like dependency updates, code refactoring, or writing boilerplate code, freeing up valuable engineering time.

Advantages of Factory

Factory provides a significant competitive edge by directly tackling engineering productivity bottlenecks. It leads to a faster development cycle, a substantial reduction in code churn, and an estimated saving of thousands of dollars per engineer annually. By automating the full task, it goes beyond simple code suggestions to deliver tangible outcomes. Its focus on security, with self-hosting and compliance certifications, makes it a trusted partner for enterprises. The ability to run Droids in parallel and integrate with over 100 frameworks and tools ensures it scales with your organization's needs.

Pricing and Plans

Factory offers tailored plans for different team sizes:

• Team Plan: Priced at $40 per month for the first seat, and $10 per additional seat. This plan is designed for agile, collaborative teams of up to 50 members. It includes 20 million standard tokens shared across the team, indexing for up to 25 cloud repositories, AI-generated architecture analysis, and integrations across the engineering system.
• Enterprise Plan: Custom pricing is available upon contacting sales. This plan includes all features of the Team plan, plus unlimited repository indexing, enterprise-scale codebase analysis, custom token limits, advanced security features like SSO and SAML, audit logs, and premium support with a dedicated account manager and SLAs.
