Factory announced on October 12, 2026 that Environments, its reusable definition of the sandbox its Droids run on, is now generally available. An Environment bundles the repositories, tools and dependencies an agent needs, and Factory pre-builds them into portable images that are rebuilt every few hours and validated, with only successful builds promoted. The company says this removes the onboarding overhead — cloning repos, installing toolchains — so Droids can start work immediately, and it pairs with Automations, Missions and the Agent Readiness framework for parallel orchestration. Administrators keep control through Enterprise Controls, which govern reachable hosts, permitted shell commands, approval rules and available Connectors and Skills; Factory also previewed extending sandboxes to customers' own machines, clouds and tools during the week.
