Documents, presentations, spreadsheets, code: preview and refine every kind of work without ever leaving the Factory Desktop App.

The Factory Desktop App now makes working with Droid feel less like delegating and more like building together.

Across all your tasks, preview Droid's output directly, the files it created, the website it built, the code it wrote. Then point and comment right where a change belongs and Droid makes it. Build alongside Droid like a thought partner, then ship, without ever needing to open another app.

In the Factory Desktop App, review and edit Droid's output in preview tabs, documents, live websites, and code changes, side by side with the session that produced them.

Preview

Reviewing Droid's output shouldn't mean leaving the Factory Desktop App to find it. Whatever Droid produces, preview it directly where you're already working.

Preview a PDF Droid created directly inside the Factory Desktop App, ready to review, refine, and iterate without leaving.

Preview documents, presentations, and spreadsheets. Droid now creates polished documents, decks, spreadsheets, and PDFs as naturally as it writes code. Preview directly in the app, making it easy to review, refine, and iterate with Droid.

Use the in-app browser. Load websites directly and see the result live, side by side with the session that produced it.

Walk through code changes. Step through a full diff of everything Droid changed, file by file, so you know precisely what changed before anything ships.

Refine

Previewing is only half the loop. The other half is responding, and the fastest feedback is the kind you give right where you are.

With design mode, select an element directly in the preview and comment exactly what you want changed, no explaining which section or file you mean.

Design mode. Point Droid at the exact part of your work that needs attention, whether it's in a live browser preview or a generated file, so your feedback stays visual, specific, and easy to act on.

Browser. Preview the live website Droid built, click the element or section you want to update, and describe the change right where it needs to happen. No need to explain which page, component, or file you mean.

Files. Open a PDF, presentation, spreadsheet, or other generated file and comment directly on the area you want changed. Droid understands the context of your feedback and makes the edit without you needing to describe the file, page, section, or element in detail.

Inline code review. Comment directly on the diff, line by line, the same way you'd review a teammate's pull request. Droid picks up your feedback and keeps going.

Ship

The best platforms get out of your way. The Factory Desktop App handles the overhead, from picking models to keeping your work organized and fast, so you can stay focused on the work itself and ship faster.

Filtering, grouping, and organizing sessions in the Factory Desktop App sidebar to stay in flow.

Make it your own. More ways to filter, group, and organize your app make it easier to stay in flow.
