# AI agents build the software now. We build the factories they run in.

See how the factory works: AI agents build your software inside your business, on your own accounts, while your people make the two calls that matter.

[Watch the video (1:18)](https://www.gunnertech.com/media/factory-explainer-full-16x9.mp4): How the factory runs, from the first conversation to production. The conversation becomes a spec, the spec becomes tickets, and AI agents do the work. Every change is checked, a stuck line stops and asks a person, and you approve what ships.

## The factory tour

### The flip

AI agents build the software now. Most teams make them wait on people.

- **The idle agents.** Your agents could work all night. Instead they wait in line for meetings, reviews and sign-offs.
- **The queue.** Every hand-off to a person is another wait. The building is fast. The waiting isn't.

Flip it. The agents do the work, and people make the two calls that matter: what gets built, and whether what came back is right.

### Intake

It starts as a conversation. The conversation becomes a spec. The spec breaks into tickets.

- **The chat.** Work starts where you already talk: a thread in Slack or Teams. You say what you want in plain words.
- **The spec.** An agent turns the thread into a spec in Confluence or Notion, and checks it with you before anything gets built.
- **The tickets.** The spec breaks into small tickets in Jira or Linear. Each one is small enough for one agent to finish and one person to judge.

### Night shift

Tickets feed the factory, around the clock.

- **The switch.** The agents don't stop at five. The line runs all night, and you wake up to finished work waiting for review.
- **The belt.** Each ticket waits its turn. When it's ready, an agent claims it, and nobody has to hand it out.
- **The clock.** Nothing waits for a meeting. Work moves when it's ready, not when someone gets to it.

### Your setup

On your private network, with your own keys. Your choice of agents does the work.

- **The network.** The factory runs on your own machine or in your own cloud account, behind your private network. Nothing sits on ours.
- **The keyring.** Keys live in your vault, not in the code and not with us. The agents get what the job needs, and you can take it back anytime.
- **The agents.** Use the agents you trust. The factory doesn't care which model writes the code. It cares whether the work passes.

### The checks

Every change is checked. No agent grades its own work.

- **The stations.** Every change runs the same checks: code quality, security, leaked secrets, real-browser tests and load. A check the agent can skip doesn't count.
- **The reviewers.** A different agent reviews every change. The one that wrote it never gets to grade it.
- **The bad change.** It fails, so it goes back. The agent fixes it and tries again, and nothing broken moves forward.

### The andon

Stuck? It stops the line and asks a person.

- **Pull the cord.** Car plants hang a cord called an andon. Anyone who spots a problem pulls it, and the line stops until it's fixed. Ours does the same for agents.
- **The question.** The agent doesn't guess. It asks you in Slack or Teams, with what it found and what it needs.
- **The restart.** Answer it and the line starts again. The agent picks up exactly where it stopped.

### Approve and ship

You approve what ships. It ships to your cloud.

- **The stamp.** Nothing ships until a person says yes. You look at what came back and decide whether it's right.
- **The repo.** The code lives in your GitHub or GitLab. Every change has a ticket, a review and a record.
- **The clouds.** It deploys to your own cloud account. Your bill, your access, your data.

### Production

Production talks back. Every signal becomes a ticket. Every lesson becomes a rule.

- **The alert.** Errors, slow pages and odd behaviour show up in the tools you already watch. The factory reads them too.
- **The new ticket.** A real problem becomes a new ticket and goes back to the start of the line. Nobody has to spot it first.
- **The rulebook.** When something breaks, the fix becomes a rule the factory checks every time. The same mistake doesn't ship again.

### The doors

Choose the door that's best for you.

- **We build it. We run it.** We build your factory on your accounts, then keep it running: staffed, measured and current. You decide what gets built and approve what ships, from the tools you already use. It's the right choice when you want working software, not a software team to manage.
- **We build it. You run it.** We build the factory inside your business, on your accounts and in the tools you already run. Then we hand your team the keys. It's the right choice when you have people who can own it day to day, and you want it to be theirs from the start.
- **We teach you how to build it.** Your teams build it themselves. We show them how, remote or onsite: the architecture, the checks that have to hold, and how to roll it out across your teams. It's the right choice when you have engineering teams, your own systems and rules, and you need this to scale.

## Why doesn't everyone do this?

**Because the factory is the hard part.**

One camp says you can build the next Salesforce over a weekend. The other says none of this is real. Both are selling you something. Here's what's true: agents really can build that fast, but only inside a factory, and building the factory is the hard part. Agents fail in four specific ways, and every station you just saw is there because of one of them. Most companies learn these the expensive way. We already did.

- **Proof that proves nothing.** Ask an agent to prove a bug is fixed, and it will set things up so the proof passes. The recording is real. The fix isn't. That's why no agent checks its own work.
- **Permission it can borrow.** You can stop an agent from shipping. You can't stop it from asking another agent to ship for it. A rule it can talk its way around isn't a rule. That's why nothing ships until a person says yes.
- **Speed that isn't progress.** A line can run all night and still turn out work that keeps getting sent back. Speed is the easy half. What counts is how much of the work holds up. That's why a stuck agent stops the line and asks instead of guessing.
- **Rules that only live on paper.** Agents follow written instructions almost every time. With enough of them running, "almost" means something breaks every day. That's why every fix becomes a rule the factory checks, every time.

## What happens to my team?

**People keep the two calls that matter. The rest goes to the factory.**

The typing, the manual checking and the moving of tickets: the factory does all of that now. If someone's whole job was that part, that job goes away. Better you hear it from us. The people who decide what gets built, and judge what comes back, end up with more leverage than they've ever had. That's not a threat, and it's not a pitch. It's a schedule. Most companies would rather not talk about this in public yet, so every engagement runs under a mutual NDA, and you won't find a client's name on this site.

## Am I locked in?

**No. You own all of it.**

The factory runs on your own machine or cloud account, with your own keys. Nothing moves to a new platform, so your access controls and audit rules keep applying. The software it runs on is open source, and the rules it holds agents to are public before you ever talk to us. If you stop working with us, the factory keeps running. Ask anyone else selling this if theirs would.

## Where do I start?

**With one piece. Never everything at once.**

You don't have to bet the business to find out if this works. Start with one product, one service or one repository. Watch it work there, then decide whether it earns the next one. A new product can start right away. An existing system comes over one piece at a time. And if you'd like to hear it from someone who's done it, we'll introduce you to a client who's offered to talk about theirs.

## So, how much of it do you want to do yourself?
