# Software Factory

Software factories put an agent on every stage of your development loop: triage, planning against a live repo checkout, implementation verified with your own checks, and independent review. Work items become draft PRs while you keep the judgment calls.

## Ship your own software factory with eve

- [Build a software factory with eve](/kb/guide/eve-software-factory): Foreman, a software factory built on eve. It turns GitHub and Linear work items into reviewed draft pull requests through four agent stations, triaging issues and fixing its own red CI along the way.
- [Give your software factory a browser](/kb/guide/software-factory-browser): Add a KERNEL cloud browser to the eve software factory template so Foreman can reproduce flow bugs, sign in through managed auth, and verify fixes on preview deployments in attended sessions.
- [Manage Vercel projects with a software factory](/kb/guide/software-factory-vercel-mcp): Add Vercel's hosted MCP to the eve software factory template so Foreman can read build logs, runtime errors, and deployment history for the app your target repository deploys, brokered at app scope through Vercel Connect.
