Coding agents need your laptop.
Background agents don't.

One repo is a coding agent task. Five hundred is a fleet task.

Ona spins up the same sandbox across every repo that needs the change. Parallel runs, tracked progress, merged results. One person's productivity becomes the whole org's throughput.

A coding agent needs your machine and your attention. A background agent needs neither.

Start one from your laptop. Check the result from your phone. Close the lid, join a meeting, go offline. Ona compiles, tests, and fixes failures without you.

Each agent runs in its own short-lived environment: full toolchain, test suite, scoped credentials.

No shared state. No leaked secrets. No cascade when one fails. The environment is destroyed after use.

You don't steer it. You don't watch it. But you can.

Open the same environment Ona used. Edit its work, change direction, or take over. VS Code in the browser or your desktop editor. Pick up where Ona left off.

If every run starts with someone typing a prompt, you automated the work but not the workflow.

Ona fires from PRs, webhooks, schedules, or Slack. A vulnerability lands. A PR opens. A ticket stalls. Ona is already on it.
