"Factory provisions and manages cloud computers for you, or register any machine you already manage." "Managed computers automatically pause when idle and resume when a new session targets them."

Official documentation · 10 Oct 2026
No capability term describes persistent compute provisioned for coding agents: gpu-cloud is renting accelerated compute and terminal-access is reaching a machine's command line from another device, so none is recorded.

The Plus plan card lists "Droid Computers — access to Factory-managed cloud computers for remote Droids"; the individual plan docs (https://docs.factory.com/pricing/individuals) list "Managed Droid Computers for remote runs" under Pro. Both name it as part of a paid Factory plan; they disagree on which tier starts it.

Factory Droids AI agent
AI coding agents that take a task written in plain language, plan the change, edit code across the repository, run tests and open a pull request, working from a terminal, IDE, browser or Slack.
-
Factory Router Infrastructure service
Automatic model router inside Factory's Droid coding sessions: picked once in the model selector, it sends each task to a cheaper model when one can handle it and moves a stuck session to a more capable model, which Factory says cut billed usage 63% in production.
-
Factory Missions AI agent
Multi-agent mode in Factory that takes the end goal of a large software project, breaks it into subtasks with dependencies and assigns each to its own Droid running in parallel, coordinating them to avoid conflicts; started with the /missions command in the Droid CLI or the Factory App.
-
Agent Readiness Developer tool
Scores each of an organisation's code repositories on how ready it is for AI coding agents, across 8 technical pillars and 5 maturity levels, and lists what to fix; run as a /readiness-report command in a Droid session, with an organisation-wide dashboard and CI integration.
-
AutoWiki Developer tool
Has a Droid write a structured wiki for a code repository, covering its architecture, modules, APIs and conventions, from the /wiki command, optionally regenerated by CI on every push and read, searched and exported in the Factory App.
