IntroducingOna for Open Source

Ona for Open Source is a program aimed at supporting open-source maintainers and contributors by providing up to $200 per month in free AI credits to tackle challenges such as PR backlogs, contributor onboarding, and context reconstruction during code reviews. Originating from Gitpod, which began as an open-source project, Ona integrates cloud development environments with AI agents that autonomously assist with tasks like fighting AI slop, automating dependency updates, and managing security patches. By addressing persistent problems such as poorly contextualized PRs and "works on my machine" issues, Ona for Open Source seeks to streamline the maintenance of open-source projects, allowing maintainers to focus more on value-driven activities rather than routine tasks.
