Just dropped an incredible episode with Matan Grinberg, founder of Factory
Based on what a lot of my friends in Silicon Valley have told me, it's like Devin... but it actually works. In the episode, we built a DocuSign clone in 15 minutes. No joke. It's incredible.
Why Factory stayed stealth for 2 years
While Devin got mega hyped, Factory quietly served enterprises, perfecting their "droids" (specialized AI agents) for real-world software development workflows.

The hybrid approach that changes everything
Factory runs both locally AND in the cloud. Think: superpowers for you locally, superpowers for your team remotely. OpenAI's Codex promises this eventually - Factory delivers it today.
Live billion-dollar startup demo
Watched Matan build a fully functional DocuSign competitor from scratch using natural language. Upload docs, add signatures, email workflows - all working in 15 minutes.

Beyond just coding
Factory's "droids" handle the full software lifecycle: planning, PRDs, design docs, coding, testing, maintenance. Most engineers spend less than 30% of time actually coding - Factory automates the rest.

The future of software development
We're moving from "coding in IDEs" to "understanding constraints and delegating to AI." The center of gravity shifts from writing code to planning and testing AI output.
Enterprise-first strategy paying off
Started with big companies, now going GA at $40/month. PMs are using it to ship production PRs without bothering engineers. Game-changing for team dynamics.
