Factory AI builds Droids, software agents that take on engineering work rather than autocompleting it. The distinction matters. Most AI assistants for developers wait for a prompt and hand back a suggestion. A Droid takes a task, plans it, writes the change, runs the test suite, opens the pull request and carries it through deployment, escalating to a human when its own confidence drops below a threshold.
The architecture behind that is several agents rather than one. One plans, another implements, a third runs the tests, a fourth handles the merge and the release pipeline. Each can call tools, read repositories and reach into CI systems, which is what separates this from a chat window that has no idea whether its output actually builds. Droids are deliberately unopinionated about the rest of your setup: they run against any large language model, inside any editor, and can be triggered from a terminal, from Slack, from Linear or from the web.
That flexibility is why large engineering organisations took it seriously. Developers at Nvidia, Adobe, Bayer, EY, MongoDB and Zapier use it, and the tasks it draws are the ones teams postpone for quarters: a framework migration across hundreds of files, a refactor nobody wants to own, dependency upgrades that touch everything. Investors followed. The company closed a 150 million dollar Series C on 16 April 2026 at a 1.5 billion valuation, led by Khosla Ventures with Sequoia Capital, Blackstone and Insight Partners alongside.
Getting an account confirms a phone number by SMS. This is a work tool that plugs into a company's repositories and release process, and the number attached to it picks up sign-in checks, workspace invitations and product notifications. Plenty of engineers would rather keep that on a line separate from the one their family uses. Take the confirmation on an additional number and it arrives inside your 5SIM order, while your workspace, repositories and run history stay in Factory.
How to buy a virtual phone number for Factory AI
Choose Factory AI in the service list on 5SIM. The countries stocked for it right now load next. Pick one and the operators available for that country and service pairing appear.
Each operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate side by side. Take all three together. A cheap line running low with a weak recent record often needs a second attempt, which costs more than the difference saved.
The number you buy waits in your active order. Enter it in the Factory AI phone field, request the SMS, and the message lands in that order window. Orders stay active for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
If nothing turns up, cancel the unused active order and your payment returns to the 5SIM balance at once. An unused order left to run out refunds by itself.

Pros of using temp numbers for Factory AI
There are several practical reasons to use an additional virtual number with Factory AI, from travel and regional access to keeping a particular online service separate from your usual communication.
Current availability: Countries, operators and delivery statistics can be checked before selecting a route. It can also be handy when using Factory AI from a different country or while traveling.
Testing flexibility: A temporary number can provide a short-lived endpoint for a supported registration or SMS scenario. The result is a clear separation around Factory AI while your usual number stays focused on everyday communication.

Clear message access: Incoming SMS can be viewed directly in the 5SIM dashboard. It works well when your use of Factory AI is limited to a particular online flow.
