Factory Droid v0.199.0

Released · Factory

What the release notes say

The explorer droid can use every read-only tool, agent questions are easier to answer from the keyboard, and diagrams and long sessions render better in the app

New features

  • SDK custom system prompts - The TypeScript SDK can now set a custom system prompt for a session, and it is kept when the session resumes
  • Managed BYOK model defaults - Org admins can now pick BYOK custom models as managed defaults for sessions and subagents in Enterprise Controls
  • Service account model policies - Service accounts now appear in Enterprise Controls model policies, so admins can set which models each one may use

Improvements

  • Explorer tool access - The built-in explorer droid can now use every read-only tool, including command execution, web search, and MCP tools, while file edits stay blocked
  • Question prompt keyboard controls - You can now pick answers with Space or the number keys, move between questions with Tab, and go back to edit an answer you already gave
  • Mermaid diagram rendering - Diagrams in a session now render with the official Mermaid engine, so more diagram types display correctly (app)
  • Faster session rendering - Long sessions and streaming command output now render with less lag, so scrolling and typing stay responsive while the agent runs (app)
  • Mission model settings - You can now choose the models and reasoning defaults a mission uses from its settings (app)

Bug fixes

  • Agent question context - The context the agent includes with a question now stays visible while you answer it
