Factory has introduced innovative AI agents, referred to as 'Droids', which go beyond traditional code completion to manage the comprehensive software development lifecycle. These agents are designed to build production-ready features from specifications, perform developer-disliked tasks such as triaging alerts, and conduct thorough codebase research to clarify legacy systems. They also handle administrative aspects, like managing project tickets and transforming informal communications into structured product specifications, raising questions about their potential impact on traditional roles in software development.
Factory claims to have built AI agents that can handle the often messy reality of the entire development lifecycle, including building features from tickets.
What I found particularly interesting was the codebase research capability, which searches your code, docs, and even the internet to answer legacy system questions.
