Why it matters
Teams is where many enterprise requests, incidents, and approvals already surface, so putting Droid there lowers the friction of trying delegated coding work. The launch also tests Factory's enterprise controls: shared service-account identity, repository access, threaded visibility, and human review determine whether channel-based agents become trusted teammates or just faster ways to create pull requests.
Factory co-founder and CEO Matan Grinberg is bringing Droid into Microsoft Teams. On November 6th, 2026, Factory announced that a teammate can mention Factory in a channel post, name the repository and the outcome they want, say how the result should be checked, and let Droid run the work in the thread.
