Factory announced Environments, a new feature that lets users define reusable sandbox configurations for their Droids (cloud agents). Environments are pre-built into portable images, enabling instant onboarding and parallel execution of tasks. The feature is generally available for all plans and supports Automations, Agent Readiness scoring, and Missions.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://factory.com/news/droids-now-have-a-fleet-of-sandboxes:

> An Environment is a reusable definition of the sandbox your Droids run on, composed of the repositories, tools, and dependencies they need. Factory builds your Environments into portable images ahead of time, so each sandbox is ready before the Droid arrives.
