Frequently asked questions Expand All Collapse All What is Autonomous Engineer?
Autonomous Engineer is an AI agent, powered by Build Agent, that adds development capacity to your team. You and Autonomous Engineer shape an implementation plan together, and you approve the plan before building starts. AI agents then build and test in parallel, in the background, troubleshooting their own work. You get tested results to review.
How is Autonomous Engineer different from Build Agent?
Build Agent helps developers complete individual development tasks through iterative prompts. Autonomous Engineer takes on a full implementation, working through planning, development, testing, and troubleshooting while involving people at key decision points.
How do developers stay in control?
Developers review and approve the implementation plan before work begins and can step in at key decisions and blockers. Autonomous Engineer tests the work and sends the results for review before final sign-off.
Can Autonomous Engineer work with existing apps?
Yes. Autonomous Engineer builds on your existing platform instance, including its tables, roles, fields, and catalog items, so new work fits what’s already there.
How do I get Autonomous Engineer?
Autonomous Engineer is available as part of AI Workflow Factory. It is included with the AI Workflow Factory SKU and uses the shared consumption model.
