To build an AI software factory, you need to create a system with five stages: intake, isolation, verification, merge gate, and tool layer. The tool layer is the most decisive stage, where you integrate your model with your test runner, telemetry, feature flags, and deploy tooling to create a colleague, not just an autocomplete. A software factory should be a monorepo to live in one place and provide context to your agents, and verification should focus on precision rather than volume, using gates that ask if a comment is worth a human's time.
