From the source
While others were using models to speed up coding, we set out to deploy autonomous Droids across the enterprise software development lifecycle.
Today we are announcing the next phase in the future of software engineering.
Improving the productivity of individual engineers is no longer enough.
Unlocking organization-wide productivity requires an interconnected, agent-native, end-to-end system.
This system must improve over time by observing itself.
The incremental units of this system are AI agents.
This system will be built by engineers, and in turn will build their software.
This system is the software factory .
The software factory starts with signals from the outside world: bug reports, internal conversations, customer feedback, business requirements.
These signals get triaged and turned into planned changes.
These changes are built, tested, reviewed, secured, shipped, and monitored.
Monitoring that deployed software generates more signals.
The entire system is a continuous feedback loop.
Almost no one has meaningfully instrumented this loop to be fully AI-driven.
