About Factory Droid

Factory Terminal UI (Factory Droid) is an interactive AI agent platform that runs directly in your terminal, enabling you to delegate software development tasks like code reviews, refactors, and investigations. It supports multiple leading frontier and open-weight models (GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, etc.) with bring-your-own-key (BYOK) local execution for data privacy. Key features include slash commands for common actions, persistent sessions and missions that survive terminal restarts, a plugin ecosystem using Skills, MCP, and hooks, and seamless syncing of sessions, computers, and skills across terminal, desktop, web, IDE, and Slack. The tool is built for asynchronous delegation—hand off entire tickets and let the agent work while you focus on other tasks. It ships with a native terminal UI that integrates with vim, tmux, and custom keybindings.

Key Features

Slash commands for everything (/skills, /missions, /mcp, /model, /share, /init, /review, etc.)
Persistent sessions and missions (fork, resume, rejoin with full context)
Native terminal integration (vim, tmux, custom keybindings, themes, status line)
Skills, MCP, hooks, and plugins ecosystem (portable across surfaces)
Delegation model (hand off tickets, refactors, investigations; agent runs asynchronously)
Cross-surface consistency (sync sessions, computers, and skills between TUI, desktop, web, IDE, Slack)
Multi-model support (GPT-5, Claude Opus/Sonnet, Gemini, open-weight models)
Bring your own keys (BYOK) for local execution and data privacy
Agent-readiness dashboard (on paid plans)

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Multi-model support allows choosing the best model for each task
  • BYOK ensures data privacy and security, especially for sensitive codebases
  • Persistent sessions let you resume complex missions without losing context
  • Slash commands and native terminal integration fit seamlessly into existing workflows
  • Portable skills (checked into repos) enable team-wide consistency
  • Delegation model lets developers work on higher-level tasks while the agent handles the rest
  • Cross-surface syncing enables starting a task in terminal and finishing elsewhere
Cons
  • Requires comfort with terminal and command-line interfaces
  • Advanced features (cloud agents, expanded limits, admin controls) require paid subscriptions starting at $20/month
  • May be overkill for simple autocomplete-style tasks
  • Does not support graphical interfaces for non-terminal workflows
