Droid

Okay this is pretty wild and I am late to discover it. I installed @FactoryAI app few months back but used mostly Cli. (Using BYOB) Today I thought to give it a try and damn, this thing is so cool. I can literally see the subagents working, everything pretty smooth and buttery. This is better, not at all buggy and cool than what people are launching recently. Everyone seems to just launch their Coding Gui/Tui Ps: I don’t have an overdue, I am just on a free plan. @matanSF @bentossell @alvinsng this is solid!

Factory might win tbh

At @FactoryAI, every PR triggers 40+ CI checks, all finishing in under 6 minutes. Our automated guardrails are so fast and comprehensive that you can "merge recklessly". This is agent-native development

Okay, Droid Missions are tied for #1 Orchestrator with Roocode's boomerang mode. This has been incredibly stable. 1. The "orchestrator" model simply delegates tasks and asks the users questions. 2. A plan is created that is much deeper than what I would expect with spec mode. 3. The mission is broken down into tasks, the orchestrator delegates a task to the worker 4. Once a task is done, it is passed to the verifier to review the output This loop I've seen with Roocode, the main difference here being the UX it feels really good. Although in Zed there's an annoying re-rendering bug in terminals that causes tons of flickering. I am using this with my custom models (BYOK) it works good in the desktop app too. (: Now look, I don't know if these systems will be productive, in that the longer models run without human feedback the more likely it is to make a huge mess. Time will tell.

GPT-5.4 is available now in Droid.

Factory is partnering with EY to scale agent-native development across its global engineering organization, enabling more than 10,000 engineers to ship production-grade software with Droids. This represents one of the largest enterprise deployments of autonomous software development agents to date. The industry is moving beyond copilots toward fully autonomous agents.

Droids can now pursue goals autonomously over multi-day horizons. You describe what you want, approve the plan, and come back to finished work. We call these Missions.

Droid remains #1 on Terminal Bench, continuing to deliver state-of-the-art performance across frontier models. Many of the top scores today come from harnesses that aren’t publicly available or usable as products. Droid is different: it’s the same agent you can download and run today.

silently picking away at my diamonds @droid 🌋

I’ve been thinking lately about what does make a company a startup. Best I was able to come up with was a "star wars" test: Does the company feel more like rebels or more like the empire?

We're excited to announce our partnership with JetBrains. Run Droid as a native agent inside any JetBrains IDE. Existing JetBrains users can unlock 1 free month of Factory Pro, at the link below.

@droid with Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.2... I think it's the best tool for coding. I've had several sessions of 10-20+ minutes, I don't understand what magic they're doing with the context management

@aidenybai oh hey

alright, fuck it time to try out and rank every single terminal coding agent - claude code - codex - cursor cli - opencode - droid - amp - gemini anybody im missing?

@nathanpareo now it is!

Here we go again! Not available in @droid :( I guess I have to wait.

I love my @FactoryAI mug! I wish other companies were this cool and also had the best CLI.

@NickSloggett @DataDeLaurier @FactoryAI me

@DataDeLaurier @FactoryAI @droid who do I need to bribe to get one of these bad boys

@MirAI_Newz done

GIMME MY OPUSSS @droid

Droid now supports plugins. Plugins bundle skills, commands, and agents into packages you can install and share. Every team works differently. Plugins let you shape Droid to fit your workflow, then share that setup with others on your team.

@huvinesh99 @FactoryAI @matanSF have you tried /terminal-setup? what terminal are you using

Lot's of improvement to @droid @FactoryAI since the last time I tried it. But \ + ENTER for a newline is kinda annoying though. @matanSF
