Factory
Agent-Native Software Development
Factory is an AI coding agent platform designed to plan, build, review, and ship software using autonomous agents. It addresses the challenge of turning engineering intent and codebase context into validated production software while allowing teams to set goals and policies.
The platform offers Droid agents that operate across desktop, terminal, web, and CLI with consistent memory. Key capabilities include Mission Control for monitoring active missions, Automations for repetitive engineering work, Code Review with inline comments on pull requests, AutoWiki for living repository documentation, and Model Routing to balance quality, speed, and cost. Analytics track adoption, consumption, and productivity per developer and team. Droid Computers provide purpose-built hardware for local agent execution. The platform integrates with Slack and Jira for delegation and supports model routing across leading frontier and open-weight models.
Factory is aimed at individual developers and engineering teams. Pricing includes a Pro plan at $20 per month, Plus at $100 per month, and Max at $200 per month for individuals. Teams plan costs $60 per team plus $40 per seat monthly for up to 10 seats. Business and Enterprise plans offer custom usage limits, SSO, SAML/SCIM provisioning, audit logging, on-premise deployment, and dedicated support.
