AI has completely changed how we build software, at a pace we have never seen before.

Surviving this era means moving at its pace. Our tools were built for a slower one.

Agentic Development Environment

factorai

Forged for the agentic era.

the app

Three agents, one afternoon.

Hand each task to an agent and keep every one in view. A dot turns amber the moment one needs you; switch to it, answer, and move on. The Changes panel shows what it touched, the graph shows what it landed, and every line of it is yours to audit, whenever you choose.

what it is

You supervise, decide, review, and set the rules. Agents do the rest.

sessions

Run several agents at once

One tab per agent, each a real CLI in a real terminal: Claude Code or Codex, your pick per project. Give every one a task, switch between them as they work in parallel, and get more done in a day than one pair of hands could.

routines

Agents on a schedule

A prompt with a cron behind it. It fires without taking a tab, and catches up what it missed while you were away.

Every message, every session

Full text across your whole transcript history, read straight from each CLI's own store. Nothing imported, nothing copied.

audit

Audit whenever you choose

Agents commit as they go; nothing waits on you. Changes shows what was touched, the graph shows what landed, and every line is traced, ready for you on your own schedule.

shell

Your shell, beside the agent

Your own terminal in the project directory: a test loop, a dev server, a git log. It belongs to the project and outlives the session above it.

local

Local, private, open source

Runs on your machine and reads the CLIs' own files. No account, no server, no telemetry. MIT licensed, and it stays that way.

about

factorai

factorai is built by engineers who spend the day supervising agents and wanted the tool arranged around that, not around a cursor.

It is open source, and it will stay open source: a powerful development tool should be available to everyone, not gated behind a seat.
