- Ona is introduced as a mission control for personal teams of autonomous software engineering (SWE) agents, marking a shift from traditional IDEs to agent-driven development.
- Ona operates in a sandboxed environment for high autonomy, supports full VS Code in the browser, and is accessible on mobile devices.
- Recent model improvements have enabled Ona agents to handle professional tasks effectively, with significant contributions to code production and PRs.
- Ona's architecture is built on three core components: API-first, sandboxed cloud development environments; a personal team of SWE agents; and enterprise-grade security and compliance features.
- The platform supports collaboration through conversational interfaces, VS Code, and desktop IDEs, with slash commands for workflow automation.
- Enterprise offerings include bank-grade security, compliance, and deployment options within your own infrastructure, with support for private LLMs and model choices.
- The company rebranded from Gitpod to Ona, reflecting its evolution from an online IDE to a comprehensive cloud development environment used by millions.
- Ona has seen rapid growth, serving major global institutions and securing significant contracts, with a focus on scaling in production environments.
- A promotional offer provides $100 in free usage for signing up to the Core tier in September.
