Autonomous coding agents vs AI orchestration platform.
Factory builds powerful Droids that autonomously write features, triage incidents, and review PRs. LoomStack sits above Factory as the orchestration layer — deciding which work goes to Droids, under what policies, and maintaining the audit trail across your entire AI portfolio.
Factory is excellent at executing autonomous coding work — its Droids are among the most capable autonomous coding agents available. LoomStack governs which work is appropriate for autonomous execution and coordinates the full portfolio of AI agents in an org. Factory governs only Factory Droids; LoomStack governs Factory Droids alongside Cursor, Devin, GitHub Copilot, and others — under a single, vendor-neutral policy framework that persists as your AI toolset evolves.
Multi-agent orchestration across all tools
Factory is a powerful agent platform, but it governs only Factory Droids. Engineering orgs run Factory alongside Cursor, Devin, and others. LoomStack coordinates all of them under a single governance framework.
Risk-calibrated task routing
Factory's autonomy controls let you set guardrails on Droid behavior. LoomStack's risk classification operates upstream: before a task is assigned to any AI agent, LoomStack classifies the change's risk level and routes accordingly.
SDLC-wide governance, not agent-level guardrails
Factory's enterprise controls are excellent for governing Factory Droids specifically. LoomStack provides governance that spans the entire SDLC — from the business signal that triggers AI work, through all agents involved, to production.
Vendor-neutral policy enforcement
Factory's governance layer is tied to Factory's platform. LoomStack enforces policies that apply equally to Factory Droids, Cursor agents, Devin sessions, and any other AI tool. As your AI toolset evolves, LoomStack's policies persist.
LoomStack and Factory work as complementary layers. LoomStack acts as the orchestration layer that routes appropriate tasks to Factory Droids, enforces org-wide policies that apply to Droid execution, and maintains the SDLC-wide audit trail. Factory handles the autonomous execution. The combination gives engineering orgs both the powerful coding agent capabilities Factory provides and the governance infrastructure LoomStack provides.
