Factory AI's autonomous coding agent that embeds into developer workflows to handle complete engineering tasks.
Droid is an agent-native AI coding assistant built by Factory AI that operates across the entire software development lifecycle. Unlike traditional copilots that suggest individual lines of code, Droid handles complete tasks autonomously: it can refactor entire codebases, respond to incidents, perform automated QA testing with visual evidence, manage tickets via Linear/Jira integrations, and execute CI/CD automations through a native CLI. Droids maintain persistent memory across tools and platforms, allowing them to follow developers through their workflow without losing context.
Factory designed Droid to be interface and vendor agnostic, supporting multiple model providers (Claude, GPT, Gemini, and custom models) and integrating natively into VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, Slack, and the Factory Desktop App. Enterprise features include air-gapped deployment, BYOK (bring your own key), local model support via Ollama/vLLM, and granular permission models ranging from fully supervised to autonomous execution.
