The AI-native software development control plane.

8090 Software Factory® brings your team and AI agents into a single system to build software together. Define intent, coordinate execution, and maintain full control, visibility, and auditability over every decision from start to finish.

The Software Factory agent reporting back on a work order: three commits pushed to a pull request, two review comments resolved, 24 tests passed, and one of five work orders now in review

What customers say

“Leveraging 8090’s platform, we are moving beyond just code and prototypes to deliver complete, commercial-grade products at pace. This approach is not just about raising efficiency; it’s about raising the ceiling of what’s possible.”

Colm Sparks-Austin

EY Americas Technology Consulting Leader

“You guys get it. I stopped my internal effort. I got 2 programmers back. You’ve created a canonical representation of the SDLC. The way you did it, there’s no argument.”

Brant Arseneau

CIO @ Mach33 Financial Group

“The documentation Software Factory creates is just amazing. The more you can help an engineer relay their ideas in business speak to business people I think you create even more value. 8090 is democratizing the ability to build professional level software.”

Sam Land

COO @ ShadowTech Solutions

“We are redoing our entire engineering process to accelerate how we do things along with your tool. That level of organizational rigor where it’s co-integrated with the development process wouldn’t be possible if not for Software Factory. Better than any code review, any documentation review could be. This is the future.”

Jonathan Kopnick

CTO @ Tie

From plain language to production.

What’s new in Software Factory

Full release notes

Skills module

Create and edit agent skills in a dedicated module and publish them to an organization-wide Skills Library.

Durable agents

Agents keep running in the cloud when you close your machine.

Knowledge Base MCP

Expose your project's Knowledge Base over MCP so external agents and tools can read and search it.

Skill rules

Set rules that require agents to use selected project skills before they can perform actions.

Automations

Agents manage automations and search past conversations through MCP and the external API.

View seats

A view-only organization role, so reviewers and stakeholders can follow the work without a full seat.

Models and connectors

Model-agnostic, harness-agnostic.

Something has to sit above the chaos and manage it. Software Factory routes each task to the model best suited to it, and works inside the tools your engineers already use.

Where it connects

Your IDE, via MCP

Work Orders are executed by agents inside Cursor, VS Code, or Claude Code. Software Factory plugins are on the Cursor and Claude Code marketplaces.

Software Factory as an MCP server

Expose your project's Knowledge Base over MCP so external agents and tools can read and search it. Agents manage automations and search past conversations the same way.

Your Codebase

Files, notes, and the codebase come into the project so agents work from what is true in the code. Multi-repo indexing across the repositories a system actually spans.

Slack

Two ways in: MCP read and write, or the installable Software Factory Slack app pointed at a project.

External API

Drive automations and agents from your own systems and pipelines.

Coming from JIRA

A documented migration path for teams moving their backlog into Requirements and Work Orders.
