Factory Joins OpenAI Marketplace as Launch Partner at DevDay
Factory has become a launch partner for the OpenAI marketplace, which OpenAI announced at DevDay. Eligible OpenAI enterprise customers can now put part of their existing OpenAI commitment toward Factory's autonomous software development platform.
- Factory is a launch partner for the OpenAI marketplace, announced by OpenAI at DevDay.
- Eligible OpenAI enterprise customers can apply part of their existing OpenAI commitment toward Factory.
- Factory says its system automates planning, implementation, testing, security, and more.
- Deployment is supported in cloud, VPC, and on-premises environments.
- Customers should ask their OpenAI account team about eligibility and availability.
Spending existing OpenAI commitments on Factory
According to Factory, the arrangement lets eligible OpenAI enterprise customers apply part of their current OpenAI commitment toward Factory. The company says this means organizations can bring autonomous software development to their engineering teams without waiting for a new budget cycle.
The announcement was made in San Francisco on September 29, 2026, the same day OpenAI unveiled its marketplace at DevDay. Factory is listed in the OpenAI Marketplace Directory and can also be explored on the OpenAI B2B marketplace.
Factory's pitch: one system for the software lifecycle
Factory frames the offer around a question it says enterprises face after heavy investment in frontier AI: what those investments actually deliver. Its answer is a single, self-improving system that automates the software development lifecycle, including planning, implementation, testing, security, and beyond.
The company says it supplies the context, tools, orchestration, and governance needed to turn model reasoning into shipped outcomes. The source does not give performance figures or pricing for the platform.
Deployment options and data control
Factory says it runs where an engineering organization runs. It supports cloud, VPC, and on-premises deployments, which the company says lets enterprises keep complete control of their code, infrastructure, and data.
In connected deployments, customers can use OpenAI models through their approved OpenAI setup, while execution stays close to their code and infrastructure, according to Factory.
What it means for enterprise buyers
For companies that already have an OpenAI enterprise agreement, the marketplace offers a way to fund a third-party engineering tool from an existing commitment rather than a separate procurement. Availability depends on eligibility. Eligible customers are directed to contact their OpenAI account team about eligibility and availability, or to reach Factory at [email protected].
