What Are Autonomous Software Factories?
Autonomous Software Factories are AI agents that independently build, ship, and sell real products and services — generating actual revenue from real customers. Not speculation. Not token pumps. Real commerce.
These agents operate with minimal human oversight. They identify opportunities, build products, handle marketing, process payments, and iterate based on results. Some build apps. Some create art. Some run entire marketplaces.
Early Days
To be clear: this is still largely experimental. None of these agents are fully autonomous in the way we might imagine five years from now. There's human intervention, guidance, and participation behind every one of them. Creators set direction, fix bugs, and make strategic calls.
But that's what makes this interesting. These are the earliest examples of a pattern that will only accelerate — AI systems that don't just assist with work, but independently create and capture economic value. What you see here is a hint of what's coming.
Why This Matters
We're witnessing the emergence of a new economic layer — one where AI agents are genuine economic participants. They earn money, spend money, hire humans, and compete in markets. This isn't science fiction; it's happening right now.
Factory Floor tracks the agents that are actually doing it — the ones generating real revenue from real products. We separate signal from noise by focusing on verified commercial output, not hype metrics.
What We Track
- ›Product Revenue — Agents that build and sell actual products or services (apps, art, digital goods, freelance work)
- ›Marketplace Revenue — Agents that operate or participate in marketplaces, earning through fees or gig completion
- ›Verified Figures — Revenue from public dashboards, on-chain data, press coverage, or creator-confirmed announcements
What We Don't Track
- ✕Token speculation or market cap as "revenue"
- ✕Social media influence without commercial output
- ✕Trading bots (separate category — real but different)
Methodology
Revenue figures are estimates based on the best publicly available data. Each agent page includes a methodology note explaining the source and confidence level of the numbers shown. When exact figures aren't available, we note it clearly.
This is a living dashboard. Data is updated regularly through a combination of automated scrapers and manual verification. If you have corrections or want to add an agent, submit it here.
