Overview
Factory is an agent-native software development platform from Factory AI. Developers give a Droid a natural-language task and it can plan, write, test, and open a pull request across terminal, VS Code, JetBrains, browser, Slack, or headless CI via Droid Exec. Factory is model-agnostic, routing work across Claude, GPT, and Gemini, and sells primarily to enterprise engineering organizations with SaaS, hybrid, on-prem, and air-gapped options.
