Background agent

AI software engineers that never stop shipping

Close your laptop. Ona runs in its own cloud environment with the full toolchain, test suite, and dependencies your code needs. Check the result from your phone.

Your roadmap shouldn't wait for the next free block on someone’s calendar. Queue tasks once, and Ona keeps working in the background, compiling code, running tests, and fixing failures until the build is green.

Background Execution

Queue work and keep shipping

Ona runs in the background, so maintenance and change work keeps moving without pulling engineers out of focus.

  • Runs long tasks while you stay in flow.
  • Works across repos and services.
  • Returns review-ready patches with evidence.

Governed Workflow

Guardrails, approvals, and full visibility

Ona never merges directly. Work stays inside your workflow with approvals and a clear audit trail for every action.

  • Approvals stay with your reviewers and owners.
  • Audit logs capture who did what and why.
  • Permissions remain least-privilege by default.

Workflow

What every background run includes

A consistent execution loop that keeps work moving without slowing delivery.

You queue a task

Describe the change and the repos to touch, then Ona starts in the background.

Runs your real checks and tests

Ona compiles the code, runs your real test suite, and iterates on fixes until the build is green.

Delivers review-ready patches

High-signal output with concrete changes, plus the why behind each suggested fix.

Teams review, approve, and merge

Nothing auto-merges. PRs stay in your workflow with approvals, traceability, and audit logs.
