The workspace

Everything you do in Factorly happens in one workspace. It's built so you can stay hands-off and let the agent drive, or dive into the code at any level — it's your project either way.

The chat panel

This is where you talk to the agent. You type what you want, and the agent's work streams back: its reasoning, the files it touches, the commands it runs, and the results. Each turn is captured as a checkpoint you can return to.

You can also attach images and files here — paste a screenshot of a design and ask the agent to match it.

The code editor & file tree

Open the file tree to see your entire project. Click any file to open it in a full code editor with syntax highlighting. You can read what the agent wrote, make edits yourself, and create or delete files — it's all the same project the agent is working in.

You never have to touch this. But it's there when you want to understand or fine-tune something by hand.

The terminal

A genuine terminal connected to your project. Run any command you like:

npm install zod
npm run test
git log --oneline

The agent uses this same environment, so anything it can do, you can do too.

The live preview

Your app runs here, right next to the chat, from the very first message. It's a real, interactive preview — click buttons, fill out forms, navigate between pages. Every change the agent makes shows up within moments, so you're always looking at the actual app rather than a description of it.
