INSIGHT

Enterprise-First Agent Strategy

  • Factory built Droid to satisfy enterprise needs like ROI analytics, codebase analysis, and controls.
  • These layers differentiate it from consumer-focused coding agents and attract quality-conscious teams.
ADVICE

Adjust Agent Autonomy Deliberately

  • Choose autonomy levels for agents based on how much you trust them to act without approval.
  • Use high autonomy for long-running tasks and lower autonomy when you need strict oversight.
ADVICE

Spec Mode Before Execution

  • Write a spec before execution by using Droid's spec mode to define what should be built.
  • Edit the saved spec in VS Code and let the agent re-plan after your changes.
