We’re early. Here’s the honest list.

The honest reality

• ✓The operator is real and live. Visit /admin/factory to see the interview chat, plan review, and build progress UI. They work.
• ✓The codegen pipeline works on real prompts. Recent prod runs (all Next.js + libSQL web apps, no desktop pipeline today): a todo-list prompt → 19 files / 1899 lines in 6 AI calls, an inventory tracker → 12 files / 1286 lines in 9 AI calls, a customer manager → 6 files of scaffold + entity model code. Intent parsing, manifest extraction, scaffold, per-entity generation, per-workflow generation all exercised end-to-end.
• ✓First verified compile pass on prod, 2026-05-18. Recipe Manager web app prompt → 8 files in 7 AI calls → workspace on Runner-1 → npm install (304 packages, 26s) → next build compiled in 9.5s → 4 static pages, 102 KB bundle, exit code 0. Job 2df2a3b3 in sf_factory_jobs.
• ✓First verified launch pass on prod, 2026-05-18. Same prompt, job 8f60195d: 29 files generated, build PASS in one attempt, then next start→ Next.js 15.5.18 Ready in 349 ms on a random port → server survived the full 8-second verification window before clean shutdown.
• ✓First overall_status=“pass” on prod, 2026-05-18. Same prompt, job 5b405f2f: 22 files → Build PASS → Launch PASS (server survived 8 s) → workspace packaged into a 485 KB tar.gz with sha256 bddda4fc…74ea02. The complete factory pipeline produces a verifiable deliverable on production from a single prompt.
• ✓Variance test passed, 2026-05-18. 5 distinct prompt shapes (recipe, blog 9082b304, project tracker 428c7949, book library 23abb90f, notes 03ad54e5) each produced overall_status=“pass”within hours of each other. Confirms the pipeline isn’t overfit to one prompt.
• ✓First publicly-downloadable artifact URL on prod, 2026-05-18. Book library prompt (job 23abb90f) hit overall_status=“pass” AND the workspace tar.gz was uploaded to Supabase Storage with a public URL. Verified live: HTTP 200, 522,279 bytes, Content-Type application/gzip. Reproduced minutes later by the notes prompt (job 03ad54e5): another HTTP-200 public URL, 527,473 bytes. This closes the last gap between internal proof and “a visitor can click the link and run the app.” The full live list is at /factory/proof — server-rendered from sf_factory_jobs on every page load.
• ✓First rendered HTML proof on prod, 2026-05-18. Expense tracker prompt (job c82e0f49) hit overall_status=“pass” AND the factory captured the HTML the launched server returned at /, uploaded it to public storage, and serves it through /factory/proof/rendered/c82e0f49 with a real text/html response so the browser renders the captured Expense Tracker page (banner makes the provenance clear, CSP locks down JS). Click-and-see, not just click-and-download.

What we ask in return

This is a partnership, not a free trial. Here’s what we need from you.

• 1.You ship one production app within 90 days. The whole point of the partnership is for you to actually use what we build.
• 2.You give us a weekly 30-minute call for the first 90 days. We need the feedback loop.
• 3.You let us write up the case study after v1 ships (with your approval on the final draft).
• 4.You don’t resell or white-label the platform during the partnership. We can revisit after v1.
