Factory Droids
Factory Droids are AI software-development agents that write, review, test, document, and automate work across codebases.

Factory Droids help developers delegate coding tasks from a desktop app, browser, mobile device, terminal, or API. They can work with local files, cloud computers, repositories, issue trackers, Slack, Linear, Jira, and other connected tools.
Teams can use Droids for code generation, code review, QA, security review, documentation, release checks, incident response, and recurring SDLC automations. Software Factory is in Private Preview, and extra usage is billed through prepaid credits.
Features
- Run reviewable Droid sessions in the Factory App
- Delegate coding tasks from the terminal with Droid CLI
- Work on local files or Factory-managed cloud computers
- Preview code diffs, documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, and live websites
- Add inline design and code-review comments for Droid to act on
- Automate triage, code review, QA, security, release, and documentation workflows
- Drive sessions, computers, AutoWiki, and analytics through the Factory Public API
- Use integrations including GitHub, Slack, Linear, Jira, PagerDuty, and MCP tools
Use cases
- Delegate feature implementation and review the resulting diff
- Run automated code review, QA, and security checks before merging
- Triage incoming issues and route them to implementation workflows
- Keep repository documentation current with AutoWiki
- Monitor incidents and connect alerts back to engineering work
- Manage software-delivery automations across multiple repositories
