Introducing Delegations, now generally available.

Your team can hand work to Droid from the tools they already use.

Such an incredible experience to be able to work in close proximity to such talented designers. Let alone have them make outstanding visuals for your deeply infrastructural releases.

Appreciate you @samwilhoit_!

how I scaled my design workflow for a global billboard campaign that is live in NYC, Tokyo, London, and cities around the globe using coding agents in @FactoryAI 🧵🧵🧵

this thread is focused on using coding agents to reformat design assets for dozens of billboard panels that are often grouped, cropped, and placed in unexpected ways and less about designing the original motion graphics concept (which was created using a combination of generative AI video footage, and overlay graphics created with code / figma). Before coding agents, formatting all of these panels to spec would take hours / days of non-creative work...

As the lead eng on OpenCompute, I'm incredibly excited for today's launch!

OpenCompute allows any organization to run agents on their existing compute infrastructure. We're bringing a fleet of agents to the customer's environment, not bringing every customer into ours.

It's going to power some of the largest industries in the world, where privacy and data sovereignty is of utmost importance.

Check out the blog :)

Introducing OpenCompute: a self-hosted orchestrator for agent sandboxes on your choice of runtime.

Adopting autonomous software development should not require handing over your valuable code and context to someone else’s cloud.

Scale your fleet of remote agents while keeping them in your VPC.

OpenCompute is now available in private preview.

We've greatly improved and polished our remote connection experience in the past couple of months.

It's the technology that allows you to connect any machine to Factory.

It's also the foundation for something I've been cooking up with the team recently that's coming real soon... 👀

[Factory @FactoryAI]

Today we are introducing Remote Control.

Your Droids run on a persistent self-managed remote machine, scoped to an individual user or service.

[Walker Hildebrand @walk_hild]

Agents need cloud sandbox environments. Birds just need cloud access. This one got a little confused, so we had to intervene

@FactoryAI use environments if you wanna async brrrmaxx ur droids

Droid's Happy Place 🤝 Your Happy Place

yes ofc we need agents to be able to run where they're most effective

but we also need a way for our users to easily replicate and setup the workspaces that let them do their best work, either interactively or by dispatching droids to do their bidding

thats Environments, baby!

[Factory @FactoryAI]

This week we're shipping our vision for the best cloud agent experience. We’re starting with an often-overlooked but critical foundation for any agent: the sandbox where it runs.

Today, we’re introducing Environments, now generally available.

Flock to @FactoryAI on X this week 👀

The bottleneck has moved from coding to PR review. We need to solve this ASAP - the paper and ink usage alone is atrocious.
