| ## We built it from Slack | ||
|
|
||
| The whole project started as a single Slack message: "build me a low-management internet radio station." From there, a Factory Droid picked up the thread and did the work, end to end. |

| The workflow was deceptively simple. We'd describe what we wanted in plain English in a Slack thread, and the Droid would go off, clone the repo, make the change, open a pull request, deploy a preview, verify it in a headless browser, and report back with a link. We reviewed, gave feedback like "put the brandmark and the wordmark on the same line" or "the music isn't actually playing," and it iterated, again as real PRs against `main`. |

i think in genreal this post should be more fun than educational
Address review feedback: lighter/funnier tone, emphasize Factory one-shotting the initial station, and drop the generic agent-workflow boilerplate. Co-authored-by: factory-droid[bot] <138933559+factory-droid[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

| [compute.fm](https://www.compute.fm) is live. It's a licensed, always-on internet radio station for people who build, deep-focus music for shipping code. Put it on, get in the zone, done. |

| The Droid traced the bug itself (the muted state wasn't getting reset when you hit Tune In), fixed it, checked its own work in a browser, and reported back with the root cause. We never opened the editor. We just merged. | ||
