What Crew Is
Crew is an AI-powered development system where autonomous agents handle coding tasks in the background. Describe what you need — a feature, a fix, a test, a refactor — and Crew handles implementation, writes tests, and delivers a pull request ready for review. Your whole team ships code, not just engineers.
What Crew Does
Autonomous Development
Assign a task in plain language. Crew's agents understand your codebase, implement the change, write tests, and submit a pull request — all while you focus on other work. Wake up to completed PRs instead of a backlog.
Zero Setup for Contributors
No local environment to configure. No IDE to install. No dependency hell. Team members describe what they need, and Crew handles the technical execution. A product manager can fix a bug. A designer can adjust spacing. The barrier to contribution drops to zero.
Parallel Workstreams
Multiple agents work simultaneously on different tasks. No bottlenecks, no waiting for "the developer" to be available. Scale your development capacity without scaling your headcount.
Team Collaboration
Sessions are shareable. Start a task, share the link with a colleague, refine the approach together. Hand off work between team members without losing context. The agents remember everything about the session.
Your Codebase, Your Rules
Crew agents learn your codebase conventions, testing patterns, and coding standards. They don't produce generic code — they produce code that looks like your team wrote it, following your established patterns.
How Crew Fits
Factory is the product your community uses. Crew is how Factory gets built — faster, by more people, with fewer bottlenecks. While Helm provides AI for thinking and analysis, Crew provides AI for building and shipping. Together, they represent a complete AI capability layer: Helm for insight, Crew for execution.
Pricing Alignment
Crew usage scales with compute hours and agent concurrency. Entry-level plans include basic agent access for smaller tasks. Higher tiers unlock parallel agents, larger codebase support, and priority processing for time-sensitive development work.
Why "Crew"
The crew is who actually runs the ship. They handle the rigging, maintain the hull, navigate the waters, and keep everything moving. A captain sets the direction; the crew makes it happen. That's what Crew does for your development process — you set the direction, the AI crew handles the work.
Your tools. Your choice.
The tools in our ecosystem are carefully selected — battle-tested, self-hosted, and proven at scale. But we're not rigid about it. We've transitioned platforms before when something better came along, and we'll do it again if the moment calls for it.
Already running something you're happy with? We'll work with it — proprietary, open source, or a mix. We integrate alongside existing systems, run parallel setups during transitions, and bridge platforms so nothing breaks while you decide. The goal is what works for your organization, not what's convenient for ours.
