Factory just gave Droids a native home on your desktop, and it changes what’s possible.
AI coding agents live in terminals, disconnected from the rest of your tools, your screen and your team. The Factory Desktop app is a native interface for running multiple Droids in every part of your software business on macOS and Windows.
What stands out?:
Multi-Agent Sessions: Run parallel Droids together, each with its own context and history
Computer usage: Droids controls VS Code, browser tabs, terminals and documents on your desktop.
Droid computers: persistent machines that remember installed packages, repos, and credentials.
Cloud computers: Managed machines with SSH access, checkpoints, and instant restart.
BYO Machine: Register any hardware, workstation, or GPU rig as a Droid computer.
Local model support: Run completely on-device via Olama or vLLM, no data leaves your network.
AI-Spatial Visualization: Droids Mermaid Diagrams, Charts, and Dashboards Present Interactive Conversations
VS Code Integration: Browse files, edit code, and run extensions connected to your Droid session
Mobile included: Start a Droid on your laptop, check progress from your phone.
Year-gapped placements are available for finance, healthcare, and government teams.
Sessions, settings, and skills are automatically transferred from the CLI. Perfect for engineering teams, and now designers, PMs, and AEs who want Droids to do real work on every tool they use.
