The AI software factory

The AI software factory that built our own products.

We write a precise specification, then agents build to it in parallel workstreams, with every change reviewed and tested. It is the highly agentic pipeline we built to build our own products, applied to yours.

At least 3x improvement on the process we take on, with our fee tied to it.

The problem

Today

AI coding tools make individual developers a little faster, but most teams see little change in what ships. Without a clear specification and a disciplined pipeline, agents produce code that is hard to review and harder to trust.

The gain comes from changing how software is delivered, not from adding a tool to the old process.

The work, rebuilt

What we build

  • 01

    Specification first

    A written specification for each piece of work, precise enough that agents can build it and people can check it.

  • 02

    Parallel workstreams

    Many tasks moving at once, each built, reviewed and tested before it joins the product.

  • 03

    Reviews and tests built in

    Every change is reviewed and tested against the specification, so speed does not cost quality.

  • 04

    Your team, in charge

    Your people own the specification and the decisions. We help them run the factory themselves.

Four steps

How it works

Start a conversation →
  1. Step 1

    Specify

    We write the specification with you, in plain language your team can review.

  2. Step 2

    Build in parallel

    Agents build to the specification in parallel workstreams.

  3. Step 3

    Review and test

    Each change is reviewed and tested before it is accepted.

  4. Step 4

    Ship and adopt

    We ship to your environment and train your team to keep the factory running.

3×
At least 3x

What 3x is measured against

For the software factory, 3x is measured on delivery, such as the time from an agreed specification to working software in your environment, against the baseline we agree before we start.

At least 3x improvement on the process we take on, with our fee tied to it.

Safe by design

Controls and governance

  • A person in charge

    Every system we build keeps a person in charge of the outcome, and every action is logged.

  • Data protected first

    Data is classified and protected before any model sees it, and access follows each user.

  • Your cloud, in country

    Built on Microsoft Azure. Deploy in Sendient’s tenant or your own Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, with data kept in-country.

  • Never trained on your data

    We never train models on your data. What you share stays yours.

Sendient holds Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and Investors in People. See our certifications

Ask a question

What is a software factory?

A delivery pipeline where people write precise specifications and agents build, review and test the software in parallel workstreams, with people approving what ships.

Will the code be maintainable?

Yes. Every change is built to a written specification and reviewed and tested before it is accepted, so the result is ordinary, readable software your team owns.

Where does the software run?

Built on Microsoft Azure. Deploy in Sendient’s tenant or your own Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, with data kept in-country.

How is the fee tied to the result?

Before work starts we agree the measure and the baseline with you. Our proposition is at least 3x improvement on the process we take on, with our fee tied to it.
