How Software Factories Improve Themselves — Suraj Gupta, Warp
AI Engineer — Sep 27, 2026 — talk
Why watch
Suraj Gupta presents three practical methods for self-improving software factories: outer-loop agents that observe triage agent runs and automatically open PRs to update skills with human review; persistent versioned memory that stores discovered facts so agents don't rediscover root causes (works with Claude Code and Codex); and model routing to avoid using expensive models for simple tasks, with Warp finding GLM works well for UI tasks. Targeted at AI engineers building agentic development systems.
