Droid plans, implements, tests and reviews changes, waiting for your approval before it edits. It runs as a CLI, in Factory's desktop app and headless in scripts and CI with droid exec, and connects to Jira, Notion, Slack, Linear and MCP tools.

Install the CLI with Factory's script, Homebrew or npm; the desktop app is on Homebrew too.

Plans start at $20 a month (Pro), with Plus at $100 and Max at $200. The AI runs in the cloud.
