How to Build an AI Software Factory: Agents That Open, Review, and Merge PRs
Tutorials70
Firecrawl outlines an engineering blueprint for an automated "AI Software Factory," orchestrating autonomous agents to handle pull request lifecycles from end to end. Instead of limiting models to local code completion, the system deploys agentic workflows to branch code, conduct automated code reviews against repository conventions, and merge PRs after CI validations pass. It documents a pragmatic transition where developers shift into supervisory roles while agents manage routine GitHub issue queues.
