Factory.ai (Droids)

The commercial, enterprise version. Founded 2023 by Matan Grinberg and Eno Reyes; their agents are called Droids and originally came as separate specialists (Code, Review, Test, Knowledge, Docs). In June 2026 they published "Factory 2.0," recasting the platform as a software factory: tickets, bug reports and customer feedback go in, deployed changes come out.

Things that set it apart: it plugs into Jira, Linear, Slack, GitHub and PagerDuty; it's model-agnostic; and they argue autonomy should be turned up gradually per organization rather than switched on. They've raised a Series C and sell into large companies.

Good fit if: you're a big engineering org that wants a vendor and integrations. Overkill and closed for a solo dev.
