Ona is launching its Open Source program to help maintainers fight AI slop

Gitpod started as an open-source project, and over time we learned a lot from maintainers who used our Open Source plan.

We’ve since evolved into Ona, and have seen first-hand how AI is putting a burden on open-source projects.

Maintainers have to spend too much time fighting an increasing volume of AI-generated PRs. That overhead often takes more time than writing code itself.

That’s why we are reintroducing Ona for Open Source to help:

- Automatically manage AI-generated PRs

- Enforce quality standards for PRs

- Clear your backlog of issues

- Onboard contributors faster and spend less time unblocking setup issues

You can get up to *$200/month* in free AI credits. Apply here: https://ona.com/open-source

We’re genuinely interested in feedback from maintainers and contributors. What are your biggest pain points and how can we help?
