Software · Dark FactoryAI agent pipelines write, test and document your production code around the clock; senior engineers set the specifications and review every change at the trust boundary. Enterprise software in weeks, not quarters. 100% human-reviewed.
Dark factory software delivery is a model in which AI agents perform most of the production work (writing, testing and documenting code) while senior human engineers define the specifications, review the output and control the trust boundaries.
The workflow is spec-driven where it matters and vibe-coded where it flies. Core business logic, integration surfaces and anything security-adjacent are built to written specifications with acceptance criteria and failure modes agreed first; exploratory UI and internal tooling move conversationally at speed. Every change passes automated gates (tests, linters, security checks, regenerated documentation) before a human ever reviews it, and nothing ships without that review.
How the dark factory runs
Trust boundaries, acceptance criteria and interface contracts agreed before a line is generated.
Agent pipelines write code, tests and documentation around the clock.
Every change passes tests, linters and security checks automatically. Failures never reach a human.
A senior engineer reviews at the trust boundary. Nothing ships without it.
Weekly, visible increments in your repositories, portable and human-reviewed.
New builds, modernisations and integrations landing in weekly, visible increments: in your repositories, to your standards, fully portable.
Agents make exhaustive testing cheap: generated test suites, static analysis and documentation that regenerates with every change instead of rotting.
What agents may do autonomously and what escalates to a human, defined per system before the build begins, enforced by the pipeline.
One Forward Deployed Engineer: a senior engineer embedded in your team, directing the factory and accountable end-to-end for the outcome.
Behind that engineer sits a production line that never sleeps, roughly ten times the output per senior head. Engage via any of our six models, from a fixed-price build to a dedicated offshore capability centre. Deployment follows your constraints: cloud native on Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, or on-premises including fully air-gapped environments.
No bench. No handoffs. One Forward Deployed Engineer: in your team, on the hook for the outcome.
