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

Hand off work, walk away

Hand off a task and close your laptop as Ona runs in its own cloud environment with the full toolchain, test suite, and dependencies. You can even pick up the work from your phone.

Runs in parallel

One intent, every repo

Ona is built to make changes across thousands of repos in one go.

It spins up the same isolated environment for each run, turning one instruction into productivity throughout the organization.

Decoupled from your laptop

Send the task to Ona, keep your laptop free

Start a background agent from your laptop, then close the lid, join a meeting, or go offline while Ona keeps the work running in the cloud.

Sandboxed execution

Every agent gets an isolated environment

Each background agent runs in its own short-lived environment with the full toolchain, test suite, and scoped credentials it needs for the task.

Failures stay contained, and environments are destroyed after use.

Edit alongside Ona

Take over in your editor

Open the environment to inspect the work, edit, or take over in your editor.

The full development environment stays available with the same repo, dependencies, and tools.

Triggered automatically

Trigger from GitHub, Linear, or Slack

A background agent does not need to start with someone typing a prompt.

Ona can trigger from GitHub, Linear, Slack or schedules.

It's really impressive. I've tried other coding agents and it's not comparable.
