Ona is the platform for background agents. Run a team of AI software engineers in the cloud, orchestrated, governed, and secured at the kernel.

In an existing organization, run Ona in your own VPC on [AWS](https://ona.com/docs/ona/runners/aws/overview.md) or [GCP](https://ona.com/docs/ona/runners/gcp/overview.md). Start a single interactive session, or run fleets of agents in the background on a schedule, on pull request events, or from your issue tracker.

Here's what you can do with Ona:

* **Create reproducible environments**: Define your dev setup as code with [Dev Containers](https://ona.com/docs/ona/configuration/devcontainer/overview.md) and [Automations](https://ona.com/docs/ona/automations/overview.md), so every environment starts identically. No "works on my machine" problems
* **Write code**: Describe what you want to build, and Ona will implement it. Bring your configuration from Claude Code or Cursor, or add an [AGENTS.md](https://ona.com/docs/ona/agents-md.md) and [skills](https://ona.com/docs/ona/agents/skills.md) to make Ona even more productive
* **Automate software development**: Assign issues to Ona in [Linear](https://ona.com/docs/ona/integrations/configure-linear.md) or trigger agents on [pull request events](https://ona.com/docs/ona/automations/triggers/pullrequest.md). Anything your engineering team can do, Ona can do it too
* **Integrate with your stack**: Connect [source control](https://ona.com/docs/ona/source-control/overview.md), [IDEs](https://ona.com/docs/ona/editors/overview.md), and tools like [Jira](https://ona.com/docs/ona/integrations/configure-atlassian.md) and [Notion](https://ona.com/docs/ona/integrations/configure-notion.md)
* **Govern at scale**: Enforce policies, audit changes, and control agent execution with [guardrails](https://ona.com/docs/ona/guardrails/overview.md)
* **Secure by design**: Ephemeral, isolated environments with [SSO](https://ona.com/docs/ona/sso/overview.md), [OIDC](https://ona.com/docs/ona/configuration/oidc.md), and SCIM built in
