Summary

Ona Automations introduces proactive background agents that automate software engineering tasks by combining AI prompts with deterministic shell scripts in trigger-based, closed-loop workflows. These agents, now generally available, are designed to handle a variety of tasks such as autonomous backlog picking, Sentry issue triage, codebase cleanup, CVE remediation, and large-scale migrations. By running in secure, fully configured environments, Ona can execute tasks across multiple repositories in parallel, providing a seamless integration with existing tools like Linear, Sentry, GitHub, and GitLab. The system allows engineers to focus on more complex problems by autonomously managing routine tasks, delivering merge-ready pull requests, and offering comprehensive reports for compliance and security audits. Ona Automations can be hosted in the cloud or on enterprise networks, maintaining the same connectivity and context as human engineers, and enabling engineers to take over the automated environment as needed.
