Factory's 'Droid' AI Aims to Automate Coding Tasks, Improve Developer Productivity

Developer velocity is often slowed by lengthy processes like code review and documentation. Factory's "Droids" aim to automate these repetitive tasks.

Factory's Droids handle tasks like code review, documentation, testing, and even generating new code. The goal is to improve engineering productivity.

The "Droid core" ingests data to build knowledge and insights to solve engineering problems. It also filters third-party AI models.

Factory acknowledges limitations in training its own models initially but aims to differentiate through customer data over time.

Factory has worked with 15 companies so far to author code reviews and hundreds of thousands of lines of code. It recently raised $5M in seed funding.
