HumanLayer joins Factory to build autonomous, self-improving software for enterprises

HumanLayer, a startup known for agentic engineering tooling, is joining Factory to build autonomous, self-improving software for enterprises. The author says the team has been ahead of best practices for coding agents since early 2025, citing the Research/Plan/Implement framework published in August 2025. HumanLayer will be open sourced, popular features like multiplayer tasks and live session diff streaming will move to Factory, and paying customers will receive refunds for recent months. The current platform stays up during a transition of at least 30 days, with options to export data, migrate, or self-host.
