Software factories

One goal in.
Reviewed work out.

A factory is a small team of AI agents that builds what you ask, checks its own work, and hands you pull requests to merge.

Get started

How it works

  1. 1

    You write one goal

    “Add dead-link checking to our bookmarks.”

  2. 2

    The coordinator plans

    It splits the goal into pieces and agrees how they fit together.

  3. 3

    Chats build in parallel

    Each piece gets its own coding chat, on its own branch.

  4. 4

    Reviewers check everything

    Bots read every change and send problems back to be fixed.

  5. 5

    You merge

    Pull requests wait for you. Nothing merges on its own.

Who's on the team

You pick the roles once. Every run uses the same team.

What you get

Many hands at once

Several coding chats work at the same time, each in its own copy of the code, so they never trip over each other.

Reviewed before you see it

Reviewer bots read every change and send problems back. You get work that has already had a second look.

Two models, two opinions

Run a reviewer on a different model from the builder. They catch different mistakes.

Tests first

Bug fixes start with a failing test that proves the bug, then the fix that makes it pass.

Steer from your phone

Watch the run, answer questions and give go-aheads from any browser.

Your machine, your plans

Everything runs on your computer, on your own Claude or Codex subscription. No API bills.

From our own test runs

We gave factories real open issues from three popular open-source apps.

Things the reviewer bots caught before any pull request:

“Other users’ link status leaks onto shared pages.”Reviewer, on a privacy leak. Fixed, test first.
“I found one bug that can leave a transfer pair half-linked.”Reviewer, on a bug fix that wasn’t done yet.
“The new pop-up test would most likely still pass with the Escape fix removed.”Reviewer, on a test that proved nothing. Rewritten, and shown to fail without the fix.

Ground rules, built in

  • Agents don’t open links they find in your code or call outside services.
  • They never read, copy or send your keys and passwords.
  • Nothing is merged without you.
