Autonomous agents are here. Where does yours run?
Ona runs background agents inside your VPC, in isolated environments with guardrails and audit logs. Scale engineering capacity without turning engineers into the bottleneck.
See it in your VPC
15-minute walkthrough. No slide deck.
Autonomous agents ship code. The question is where.
Devin runs the orchestration layer on Cognition's cloud. Ona runs the entire stack inside your VPC.
Isolated environments
Every task runs in a fresh, isolated environment. No long-lived state. If something goes wrong, you throw the environment away.
VPC deployment
Deploy runners inside your cloud account. Code, secrets, and execution stay inside your perimeter. Route model calls through your approved providers.
Audit + guardrails
Full audit logs for human and agent actions. Command deny lists and policy controls so destructive commands never run.
What matters when the CISO is in the room
Devin runs agents on Cognition's cloud. Ona is the enterprise runtime that keeps autonomous work inside your boundary.
Ona
DevinInside your VPC. Code, inference, and orchestration never leave your perimeter.
The execution sandbox runs in your VPC. The orchestration layer stays on Cognition's cloud and requires a persistent outbound connection.
Spin up hundreds of parallel agents on independent EC2s. Scale is limited only by your cloud resources.
Single-agent setup per VPC server. Scaling means provisioning more servers manually.
Ephemeral VM per task. Mistakes are disposable. No shared state between agents.
Sandboxed Devbox per session, but the agent service needs access to your corporate intranet and internal DNS.
Bring any model. Swap providers without re-architecting. You choose what runs in your VPC.
Proprietary compound AI system. Locked to Cognition's model orchestration.
You own the infrastructure. Developers keep their IDE. Open DevContainer standard.
Proprietary IDE, proprietary models, custom fine-tuning. Designed to be sticky.
Command deny lists and kernel-level security guarantees. Every agent runs in an isolated VM.
Sandboxed Devbox per session. Orchestration layer requires persistent outbound access to your intranet.
Org guardrails, command deny lists, policy controls. Platform team owns the boundary.
RBAC and Teamspaces. No command-level deny lists or org-wide policy enforcement.
Compute-based pricing tied to your AWS bill. Predictable.
Agent Compute Units (ACUs) at $2-2.25 each. Cost varies with task complexity and is hard to forecast.
Full experience from any device: review code, monitor agents, approve PRs.
Proprietary IDE. No mobile or browser-based access to agent sessions.
Every human and agent action logged. SIEM export. Full provenance.
Session logs and PR history. SOC 2 Type II certified.
Enterprises that need fleet-scale automation inside their security boundary.
Teams willing to give a third party persistent access to their intranet for scoped, repeatable tasks.

Best for
Enterprises that need fleet-scale automation inside their security boundary.
Teams willing to give a third party persistent access to their intranet for scoped, repeatable tasks.
One agent is a tool. Hundreds of agents is a platform.
These problems need fleet-scale execution inside your security boundary, not a single agent on someone else's cloud.
CVE remediation at scale
Org-wide migrations
Platform standardization
Regulated industry compliance
You want autonomous agents. You need them inside your boundary.
The question isn't whether AI agents can ship code. It's whether the orchestration layer belongs on someone else's cloud.
Autonomous agent with its own IDE. The orchestration layer runs on Cognition's cloud and requires outbound TLS plus intranet access.
Autonomous agents in your VPC. Orchestration, inference, and execution all inside your boundary.
Same autonomous capability. Ona keeps the entire stack, including the orchestration layer, inside your perimeter. No third-party intranet access required.
Common questions
Autonomous agents, inside your boundary. Your infrastructure. Your rules.
