What Is an AI Software Factory? Lessons from 3 Client Deployments

An AI software factory is a managed system that uses AI agents, connected tools, and automated checks to convert software requirements into validated changes with human oversight. Camplight has deployed three client implementations and created Nest, a public model that visualizes their approach by showing how work flows through intent, context, execution, verification, approval, release, and feedback stages. When evaluating AI software factory platforms, leaders should assess whether the system connects these operational stages rather than focusing on features like agent count or interface design.
