Working with Threads
Learn about Factory’s Threads and how they accelerate complex development tasks and drive developer productivity.
What are Threads?
“Threads” is Factory’s intelligent context discovery system that automatically surfaces relevant information across your development ecosystem. When developers initiate a task, Threads automatically searches and correlates information from integrated platforms, eliminating manual context gathering and significantly reducing development time.
Threads allows you to dive directly into your project by automatically searching for and aggregating:
-
Codebases and files
-
Pull Requests
-
Product and Engineering Documentation
-
Relevant Tickets
Core Components
Repository Integration
Github
Gitlab
Project Management Tools
Jira
Linear
Documentation/Knowledge Base Systems
Google Drive
Notion
