Engineering @ Factory AI
Today, we're announcing Factory 2.0: from coding agents to software factories.
crazy how much of startups economics is buying tokens for $10m and selling them for $5m and bragging about $5m in revenue
Factory has acquired Lumetric (YC W24). Together, we are deepening our investment in autonomous systems that execute longer-horizon work and self-improve over time. The Lumetric team will be joining Factory and will focus on accelerating the Factory Desktop experience.
INTRODUCING FACTORY Factory is the Command Center where developers and agentic AI collaborate to understand, plan, and build enterprise software. Our enterprise platform combines advanced engineering system indexing, state-of-the-art retrieval and search, and reliable agentic systems powered by frontier LLMs. In your Factory, • 🤖 Droid Mode unlocks cutting-edge agentic capabilities. Accelerate your development with AI that autonomously pulls in tickets, reads error logs, retrieves relevant context, executes code, and solves complex, long-running tasks. • 🪡 Threads let you jump into deep work with all relevant context dynamically surfaced in front of you. No more crawling through Github, Slack, Google Drive, Notion, Jira, Slack, or context-switching between them. • ⚡ Workflows transform and centralize your organization’s best practices into executable, AI-powered processes. Automate repetitive tasks like building integrations, bug-fixing, PRD creation, release notes, version updates, and more. We're working with some of the most innovative organizations in software — from AI-forward enterprises like @MongoDB to high-growth organizations across the world. Our enterprise platform combines advanced engineering system indexing, state-of-the-art retrieval and search, and reliable agentic systems using frontier LLMs like o3 and Claude 3.7 Sonnet 1/7

THE MACHINE THAT BUILDS THE MACHINE Today we are excited to announce the latest updates from Factory and the next steps in our mission to Bring Autonomy to Software Engineering. Droids are autonomous systems that solve problems for engineers. Not just in demos. Not just in simple repositories. In complex, production settings. Testing, debugging, refactoring, migrating, reviewing, documenting — world class organizations are accelerating their software development with Factory’s Droids. In addition to building out the Droid Fleet, we have some other exciting updates to share: - New SOTA benchmarks. 31.67% on SWE-bench Lite. 19.27% on SWE-bench Full. - New Fundraising. $15M Series A led by Sequoia Capital. 1/6
