Software Factory brings humans and AI agents together in one system to manage the full software development process—from planning and design to coding, testing, and deployment. This helps companies build customized software while giving leaders clear visibility, accountability, and tracking throughout the entire process.

AI is changing not just how work is done, but also who can build, and create. Success will go to organizations that can turn ideas into products faster, adapt quickly, and continuously develop new services and opportunities in a changing environment.

Software Factory helps teams and AI agents work together by providing structure, coordination, and accountability across the entire software development process. This enables companies to build highly customized solutions, improve customer experience, and gain better visibility, control, and oversight from idea to deployment.

The platform also supports 8090’s enterprise delivery business, which builds, hosts, and maintains custom software for large organizations across healthcare, insurance, life sciences, manufacturing, government, and financial services. This hands-on work helps strengthen the platform by testing it against some of the most complex legacy systems.

8090 has delivered strong results, including translating millions of lines of legacy COBOL and Assembly code into simplified business rules in weeks, helping insurers reduce unnecessary claims costs, speeding up drug development timelines, and enabling manufacturers to automate real-time parts validation for thousands of components. The company also continues to manage and support these systems after they go live.

"AI can write code. The hard part of enterprise software is keeping fifty agents and a hundred engineers changing the same complex system every week without it pulling apart," said Chamath Palihapitiya, Cofounder and CEO of 8090. "The best companies in the world build custom software that captures what makes them unique. We built Software Factory on the belief that every organization should be able to do the same thing.
