The 10 Theses
The foundational principles of the Software Reformation
Software Is Now Abundant
Software can now be built at near-zero marginal cost. As costs of production approach zero, software will proliferate and there will be more software in the world. Software is becoming an abundant resource.
People - Driven Coding Is Here
We now build software using Software Factories directed by people. We talk to them and give them instructions and we produce working software apps. Anyone with an idea and a good LLM coder can make this happen. The era of the factory-coded apps is here.
The Democratization of Software Ownership
Lots of people will soon own a Software Factory. The means of software production will expand dramatically. Anyone with a vision, domain experience and initiative can and will own a Software Factory and build software of their own. Software Factory tools and platforms will proliferate.
New Tech People Needed - The Great Tech Skills Creation Wave
The Software Factory will create many, many new jobs. Those folks currently in the technology field will be needed to take on Software Factory roles. And, new people, from all walks of life, people deciding to now work with software, will be needed by the millions. This could well represent the world's first large-scale AI-driven labor migration.
The New Builders - Software Factory Roles
Abundant Software Factories introduce two essential new roles.
- The Software Orchestrator - a person with deep domain experience, they are the visionary directing the output of the factory.
- The Factory Foreman - the person operating and maintaining the tech infrastructure once the software is live, from data centers to 24x7 support.
A new ecosystem of factory support organizations will emerge focused on keeping software running in production
The Software Factory Engine - LLM Coding Drives Mass Output
The engines of Software Factories are best-in-class Large Language Models, a highly commoditized resource. They are constantly innovating, interchangeable, infinitely scalable, and cheap. Simply put, LLM's write code exponentially faster than traditional methods and produce complex working apps.
Software Factory Determinism - Driven By People
The Software Factory operates on Determinism—a formal, repeatable process based on requirements and prototypes. Determinism requires upfront thinking and a very explicit set of instructions. LLMs like to be told what to do. And people with clear, well thought out ideas can now make them real using the factory method.
The Unbundling of Distribution
Software abundance will increase the number of applications by an order of magnitude. New distribution and discovery systems will emerge to handle this level of software abundance. Current App Store delivery channels will be expanded to accommodate the huge number of new apps in the ecosystem.
Businesses Own Their Software Again
As software production costs collapse, companies will increasingly build and own their own solutions breaking free of traditional subscription-based ownership models. These businesses will need Factory Foreman to maintain and operate the software, keep it live, compliant and in production. Abundant, tailored business apps managed by Factory Foreman may replace the subscription model prevalent today.
Governance Makes Software Ownership Viable
As software creation accelerates within the business environment, businesses will require governance that provides policy enforcement, compliance, auditability, and portfolio visibility — enabling organizations to safely operate their own software at scale.

Augie™
Software Factory
Build Apps With Natural Language
A natural language-driven software factory utilizing Protocol Driven Development. Create enterprise-grade applications guided by human direction.
Protocol Driven Development
A structured factory process that emphasizes thinking before implementation
Research
Explore the problem space, study existing solutions, and gather domain knowledge. Understand the landscape before building.
Requirements
Capture detailed specifications through natural language prompts. Define what the software must do, not how.
Design
Architect the solution structure, define data models, and plan user interfaces. Create the blueprint for implementation.
Prototype
Build rapid working models to validate concepts. Test ideas quickly before committing to full implementation.
Refine
Iterate based on feedback and testing. Polish the design, improve prompts, and optimize the specification.
Code
LLM generates production code from refined specifications. The factory transforms prompts into working software.
Verify
Test, validate, and ensure quality. Confirm the software meets requirements and performs as specified.

The Charlie Logo Test
See LLM Drift in Four Tiny Steps
A simple experiment that reveals why Software Factories need determinism.
Take The Test Yourself
Four prompts. Watch what happens.
Base
Make a simple logo with two letters, my initials, side-by-side, different colors, no overlap, tiny gap, transparent background. Export as PNG and show it.
Swap Colors
Great—swap the colors of the two letters and re-export.
Change Spacing
Increase the space between the letters just a little. Re-export.
Local Tweak
Thicken the bottom of the second letter slightly—but keep it inside the letter. Re-export.

Desktop Digital Banking
The next great opportunity for digital banking
Desktop digital is the next great opportunity for digital banking. For two decades the entire industry has been focused on the cloud and the browser. We all know desktop apps are better. On the mobile device native apps won, and yet still we never challenged browser supremacy on the desktop. Until now. Desktop Digital Banking is coming to a bank or credit union near you.
More Secure
In every measure, desktop digital is superior to putting banking in the cloud. Desktop Digital introduces 4-factor login authentication, creating the safest space in banking.
Better Experience
We all know it. We have used desktop versions of our favorite apps and they are simply put, better than browser versions.
Easier to Maintain
Code base reuse is a reality in Augie Bank. The desktop apps represent about 10% of the code within the platform and code is reused by all the device-specific native apps. Reuse is real with Augie Bank.
Faster to Distribute
App stores make app distribution as easy as one, two, three.
Desktop Launch
Launch the stand-alone desktop digital banking app for selected or all customers/members. Plug the app into existing digital bank infrastructure for rapid and easy implementation — the APIs are ready to support desktop digital.
Catalog Module
Pick from the Augie Bank catalog and launch an app or feature module in your digital banking platform vendor marketplace or equivalent.
Open Banking
Launch select modules like Open Banking solutions to remain compliant and complement your existing digital provider.
Build New Modules
Build a new module using the Augie Factory platform and launch the app to customers directly via the App Store and Google Play.
The New Deployment Model
Powered by Oppy — intelligent operations that monitor datacenters, software, and interfaces around the clock. Backup, recovery, and deployment management so your team doesn't have to.
