Sovereign software development agents for American research
Factory Droids automate coding, testing, and deployment across your scientific software stack. Fully on-premises, model-agnostic, and built for the security requirements of national laboratories.
Factory gives you complete control over where your code and data flow. Choose your deployment model, your inference providers, and your telemetry destinations.
Built for environments where security is non-negotiable
Bring Your Own Models
Run any model on your infrastructure
Deploy US-based open-source models like GPT-OSS, Granite, or Nemotron. Connect to institutional gateways like LBNL CBorg. Or bring your own fine-tuned models. Factory is model-agnostic by design.
Model configuration docsFlexible Deployment
Cloud, hybrid, or fully on-premises
Run Droids on laptops, CI runners, or HPC clusters. Route LLM traffic through your approved gateways. Air-gapped deployment available for classified environments that require full offline operation.
Privacy & data flowsSecurity that scales from laptop to HPC cluster
Factory's hierarchical settings system ensures consistent governance across every environment where Droids run.
01
Hierarchical policy enforcement
Org-level policies cascade down and cannot be overridden. Projects extend but never weaken. Users customize within allowed bounds. One config, consistent everywhere.

Deterministic agent controls
Command risk classification with allow/deny lists. Droid Shield for secret scanning. Hooks for DLP integration. Safety built on hard boundaries, not model behavior.

Enterprise identity integration
SSO via SAML/OIDC with Okta, Azure AD, or Google Workspace. SCIM provisioning for automated user lifecycle. Role-based access that flows from your IdP.

Full observability and audit
OpenTelemetry-native with metrics, traces, and logs. Route telemetry to your own collectors or use Factory analytics. SOC 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 certified.

AI agents built for scientific computing
From accelerator operations to data pipelines, Factory Droids understand the unique demands of research infrastructure.
Accelerator Operations
AI co-pilots for fault diagnosis, root cause analysis, and routine tuning. Aggregate context across control systems, detect anomalies via historical comparison, and assist during faults with human-gated execution.
Beamline Automation
End-to-end experiment coordination from parameter selection to adaptive real-time analysis. Agents query materials databases, combine simulations with AI, and generate control-system plans.
Data Pipeline Engineering
Automate development of processing workflows, metadata capture systems, and analysis pipelines. Transform context-poor experimental data into ML-ready datasets with complete sample genealogy.
Scientific Software
Accelerate development of simulation codes, analysis tools, and control systems. Factory agents understand domain-specific languages, HPC patterns, and legacy Fortran codebases.
Knowledge Capture
Preserve institutional expertise by encoding tacit SME knowledge into machine-accessible formats. Reduce risk from personnel turnover and maintain operational continuity.
Safety-Critical Systems
Co-pilot patterns with strict separation of planning and execution. Read-only access by default, human-gated writes, and layered verification for high-consequence environments.
