Factory 1.5 introduces a fully redesigned Session interface, transforming how you manage your Droids.

​
Session Revamp

The entire agentic workflow in Sessions has been rebuilt and simplified to reduce friction and keep you in control:
  • Specification: Start with a distraction-free, chat-only workspace to define scope, boundaries, and success criteria—without side panels stealing focus.
  • Management: Open the Context view to see exactly what your Droid sees (code files, memory, and uploaded docs).
  • Review: Once your Droid makes a change, jump directly to the relevant unified diff. See every edit in one continuous flow with clear highlights and headers summarizing lines changed and file status.

​
Additional Improvements

  • Upgraded Slack Tools – New tools to read Slack channels and fetch Slack threads, now with improved reliability and messages auto-formatted as Markdown.
  • Model Updates – GPT-5 (Mini and Nano variants) now available, integrated with OpenAI’s Responses API for smoother streaming, better tool calls, and improved error handling. Claude Opus 4.1 model refresh is also live.
  • Excel Support – Parse and import .xlsx files directly in Factory.

​
Bug Fixes & Stability

  • Faster, more responsive chat input (especially in Chrome).
  • More reliable Windows Bridge connectivity.
