Factory is a San Francisco-based company founded in 2023 that builds AI-powered autonomous agents for software development. Its core product, Droids, are designed to operate within a developer's existing environment - including IDEs, terminals, Slack, and project management tools - to handle repetitive tasks such as code refactors, incident response, and migrations.
The company maintains a lean team composed of engineers and researchers with backgrounds from firms like Nuro, Glean, and MongoDB. Team members work together from the San Francisco office five days a week. Factory is focused on shaping how software is built through its work in AI agents and developer tooling.
