AIFactory

The open-source AI software engineer you can self-host and audit.

Self-hostedReview-gatedFully auditableNo lock-in

Autonomy you can actually defend

For teams that can't send their code to the cloud and won't merge what they can't review. Your infra, your model bill, your audit trail.

Runs in your perimeter

Self-hosted on your own Kubernetes via the Helm chart (or docker-compose on a laptop). Your source never has to leave your network — the answer for teams that legally can't ship code to a third-party cloud.

Spec-first, review-gated

Every run starts from a written spec with acceptance criteria. You approve the plan before code is written and the diff before it merges; a QA agent checks the work. No unsupervised black box, no vibe-code to clean up.

Auditable by design

Every action is journaled in a hash-chained audit log; every spec, plan, and QA report lives on disk and in version control. The provenance trail your security team and your auditor actually ask for — SOC2 / ISO evidence in the enterprise build.

No vendor lock-in

Route each phase to the right model — Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Codex, or a local Ollama / OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Provider abstraction means you own your model bill and never depend on a single vendor.

Isolated + observable

Each task runs in its own git worktree — nothing touches your tree until you merge. Watch the agent work in real time via the Live Console (read-only by default, one-click Attach), with OpenTelemetry tracing across every boundary.

MCP control plane

27 MCP tools across stdio + HTTP+SSE transports. Drive AIFactory from Claude Code, Cursor, Continue.dev, or any MCP-aware client — and hand a task off to an autonomous background run with the /handover skill.

/handover skill — async hand-off from any chat

Type /handover in Claude Code. AIFactory summarises the conversation, creates a spec, and runs the build while you do something else. Comes back as a draft PR.

Default MCP servers — Kubernetes / AWS / Azure / GitHub

A catalog of well-maintained MCP servers auto-enables per project when infra markers + credentials line up. Read-only by default. CVE-aware version pins.

Remote Control — drive AIFactory tasks from your phone

Wires Claude Code's native --remote-control flag into the agent spawn. Open claude.ai/code on any device and pick up where you left off.
