Markbase vs Factory: Run a software factory on the coding agents your team already uses.
Factory builds its software factory around Droid, its own coding agent. Markbase works with the agents your developers have already chosen, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity CLI and Pi, and gives all of them the same context.
Keeps the agents your developers already know
Most teams have already settled on their coding agents, and different people often prefer different ones. Markbase doesn't ask anyone to switch. Each developer keeps their agent and their settings, and every agent starts from the same decisions, skills and history. When a better agent or model comes out, you can move to it without rebuilding anything.
Keeps your context outside any one agent
Factory keeps instructions, skills and memories in files written for Droid, and generates a wiki that describes each repository's code. Markbase keeps what the team has decided and learned in one shared workspace that every agent reads and writes. If you change agents, your context stays where it is and the new agent starts from it.
Shares what one agent learns with the whole team
Droid saves what it learns to a memories file, in the repository or on one developer's computer. In Markbase, when an agent finds the cause of a bug or the reason for a design, it writes it to the team's workspace. The next agent starts from it, on anyone's machine and in any agent the team uses.
[ The other choice ]
Where Factory is the better choice
Choose Factory if you want one company to provide the agent as well as the factory around it. Droid works in Slack, Teams, Jira, Linear and CI, it can run long tasks in several stages, and Factory can host the machines it runs on. If your team is happy to standardise on one agent, Factory gives you a lot in one product.
