Factory 1.6 introduces a new To-Do List Tool for multi-step work, several improvements to remote Droids, plus Browser Tools to navigate and interact with the web from Factory.

​
To-do list tool

Keep longer tasks on track. The to-do list tool creates a live checklist that Droids follow and update as work progresses. How it works Droids break a goal into ordered tasks with clear acceptance criteria. Progress is tracked automatically as the agent runs. You can ask the Droid to add, remove, or edit tasks at any time.

​
Improved remote Droids

Quicker connection and command execution, as well as improved reliability when using remote Droids means snappier sessions when working with this type of machine connection.

​
Browser tools

Droids can now browse and interact with websites and internal tools via Factory Bridge. Capabilities include:
  • Navigate, click, fill forms, upload files, and extract text, links and tables.
  • Traverse observability stacks to reproduce issues and gather evidence for RCAs.
  • Validate user flows and test local changes to web applications.
Getting started with browser tools:
  • Update Bridge, connect to a Local Machine and enable browser tools. The session will then be able to navigate relevant websites using a local browser instance.

​
Additional Improvements

  • Google Docs importing — better parsing and text extraction, including table of contents support.
  • Bridge search — ripgrep is now bundled for fast, reliable local search across repos.
  • Context in dashboard — fixed context creation errors when pasting integration URLs.
  • Workspace and repos — more reliable repo-root detection and refresh flows (parallel token and env fetch).

​
Bug Fixes & Stability

  • Data integrity — enforced message size and image count limits; truncated oversized outputs to prevent datastore or model errors.
  • Error clarity — expanded error taxonomy and consistent categorization for easier diagnostics.
  • Memory quality — improved precision so broadly useful details are remembered while task-specific noise is reduced.
