Factory
Enterprise coding agents — Droids — wired into Jira, Slack and your repos.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — Anthropic has not replaced it
Anthropic's version overlaps, but does not finish the dev tools job, so this one still earns its $40/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Single-developer agents do not handle organisation-wide context. Anthropic, June 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? paid only
- 2 replacements listed, all paid.
- What the call is worth $480/yr
- $40/mo at the entry paid tier — $480 a year per seat.

The backstory
Factory's bet is that enterprise coding work is mostly context retrieval: what does this service do, who owns it, which ticket is this. Its Droids pull from the tracker, the docs and the incident channel rather than just the open file, which is the part a personal editor agent cannot see.
