AI Without Borders Ep. 7 | Building Autonomous Software Engineers with Factory Founder Eno Reyes

In this episode of AI Without Borders, we sit down with Eno Reyes, co-founder of Factory AI, a platform on a mission to bring true autonomy to software development. Factory has raised over $20M from top funds like Sequoia and Lux Capital, and is trusted by engineering teams at companies like Zapier and Build. Eno shares his unique journey, from his family’s Mexican roots and entrepreneurial spirit to building one of the most ambitious agent-driven development platforms. We dive deep into Factory’s vision of “droids” that don’t just code, but can spec, test, document, and handle incidents. Eno explains why real-world agent deployment is about much more than benchmarks or code generation, and why most differentiation in the space now comes from product choices and context management, not model tweaks. We also speak about the impact of longer context windows on agent architecture, building trust and safe autonomy for enterprises, how to prepare your org for agent-driven development, and the future of hiring in an age where AI-augmented engineers blur traditional technical boundaries.
