We've raised $200M at a $5B valuation to scale self-improving software development in the enterprise. The round brings our total funding to over $400M and more than triples our $1.5B valuation from April.↗

New episode with Matan Grinberg (@matanSF), CEO & co-founder of @FactoryAI !! We get into so many good topics: Studying physics for a decade, how to measure ROI of AI spend, who to hire in a world where we don't code, policy, the risk of Chinese open models vs. closed-model mono…↗

The Factory Guild is open for applications. The Factory Guild is our highly selective builder program for a small, curated group of students, independent builders, and developer-community members who want to build with Droids, share what they learn, and help shape what comes nex…↗

Most startups celebrate their first couple million of revenue. @FactoryAI gave it back. They didn’t have to. They chose to. They decided that the product just wasn’t good enough yet, and they wanted to know that they’d really earned it. They wanted their customers to be obse…↗

Introducing AutoWiki in Factory.↗

Watch @HarryStebbings ask @matanSF all the difficult questions about commoditization across the AI stack, Factory's controversial culture, or whether US startups should use Chinese models. The 20VC episode is out now!↗

Why Factory is my dream company to join Deciding about a job is never easy, especially in SF where you have constant FOMO, different companies are so over / so back every week, and growth roles seem to be one of the hot topics. It makes me super happy that I got the chance to j…↗

Another agent joins the alliance. Now you can send your @FactoryAI Droids on multi-day horizons and share your sessions, chat logs, prompts, and more with the Entire CLI. Available today. github.com/entireio/cli↗

Just a thought… @FactoryAI Droid folks. It would be useful to somehow show both the starting and ending prompts of a session to know which one to pick. I remember the last thing I’d typed more than the first thing, like 8hr ago. When I have a bunch of sessions, it can be ha…↗

@bentossell @FactoryAI Here is the skill and the frontend-agent droid gist.github.com/bskimball/91ce… I told it to draw inspiration from the factory ai website↗

LFG 🔥 @FactoryAI Thanks @bentossell for sending it over all the way to Germany 😅 Got some SF vibes rn↗

@bentossell @matanSF @FactoryAI Oh, with pleasure. The @FactoryAI helps me with three main things: 1. Checking and configuring server security. 2. Setting up all the necessary server settings and project dependencies. All I do manually is add the GitHub key. 3. Debugging the…↗

I worked on a side project last week and weekend with AI coding agents (both @AnthropicAI’s Claude Code and @FactoryAI’s Droid alternating). It took me 3-4 hours of active QA plus 3 hours of active energy reviewing plans, decision-making, checking AI's logic. After I pushed th…↗

So I tested GPT-5.1-Codex with @FactoryAI droid. Setup a Nextjs app with web scrape functionality. The reason for choosing web scraping is it is a complex task for LLMs and they tend to fail, generates buggy/sloppy code. Created a concise and brief AGENTS[.]md . Contains high…↗

Check out employee of the month over here… @FactoryAI @Splashtop helping me keep tabs on ‘em↗

@FactoryAI When using the Slack integration, it would be awesome if Factory could auto-detect the workspace based on the channel name. Or follow up with a prompt to always choose that workspace in the future for that channel. cc @bentossell↗

As promised - my 29 @FactoryAI droids are now public. From my post yesterday there were a number of people that asked for the Droids I was using and coded. I got them all cleaned up and posted to this repo. These are hyper-specific (and artfully named) sub agents with forced c…↗

@bentossell @KirkMarple @FactoryAI Thanks, needed this. Is anyone using Factory with PyCharm? I can't find the plugin in the JetBrains marketplace.↗

Tried out @FactoryAI's recently released CLI tool... quite impressive! It came with a free trial, but I also was able to configure BYOK with Claude subscription to work with my Max plan! Here's the gist: gist.github.com/ben-vargas/9f1… The BYOK still syncs/works with web/mobile…↗
