Overview

Factory raised $200 million in September 2026 at a $5 billion valuation, up from $1.5 billion five months earlier, in a round backed by Blackstone, Khosla Ventures, Sequoia Capital, NEA, and angel investors including Marc Benioff. Factory's platform lets developers describe tasks in natural language, which its 'Droid' agents break into sub-steps and execute inside isolated 'Droid Computers' (cloud or on-premises), with an intelligent router assigning each sub-step to the most cost-efficient available LLM. Additional components include a Readiness Report command that checks whether a repository is agent-compatible, AutoWiki for automatically generated and updated documentation, and built-in quality/security checks; Factory says it self-improves its agents using anonymized usage data from thousands of daily sessions, and counts teams at Nvidia, Adobe, and Palo Alto Networks among its users.

This is a sourced directory entry. Features and capabilities are reported in the linked sources; this entry does not document independent Aymorphic testing.
