# Factory Droids (Factory)

Factory Droids is a standalone vertical AI agent from Factory. Software agents that take on engineering tasks from the terminal, Slack, Jira, Linear or CI, from backlog items to incident investigation. Nearfi's Agent Index rates its autonomy 4/5 (multi-step on its own): Factory says Droids implement backlog work, review pull requests, investigate incidents and run long multi-phase 'Missions'; its page mentions human approval checkpoints but does not say how they work, and it advises using them on tasks that can be verified. Status: live; 0 incident(s) logged.

- What it does: Factory's Droids implement backlog work, review pull requests, generate tests, investigate incidents and maintain documentation. They run in a CLI, desktop, web, mobile, chat tools and CI, with long-running 'Missions' and event-driven or scheduled 'Automations'. Factory announced the full release on 25 September 2025 alongside a $50 million Series B.
- Limits: Factory's own page says Droids work best on tasks with a clear outcome that can be checked in a repository, tracker, terminal or CI. Its benchmark and customer-speed claims are the company's own and were not independently verified. Pricing was not on the pages opened.
