What It Actually Takes to Build a Software Factory — Tereza Tížková, Factory

Why watch

Tereza Tížková explains how Factory builds enterprise software factories that autonomously run the full software lifecycle—from signal collection to validation and improvement. The talk covers three core principles: staying agnostic to fit existing workflows (25% cost savings), maintaining autonomy through sequenced agent missions running for hours or weeks, and continuous improvement via deferred context engines (50%+ token reduction) and agent-readiness checks. Ideal for engineering leaders and developers exploring AI-driven software development at scale.
