Open-source system that uses AI coding agents to turn labeled GitHub Issues into reviewed, merged pull requests and tagged releases, self-hosted or as a managed cloud.
Label a GitHub Issue and Orbi has an AI write the code, a separate AI review it, merge it through your normal checks and tag the release.
Orbi describes itself as a lights-out software factory: an open-source system that takes GitHub Issues and turns them into merged pull requests and tagged releases using AI coding agents. It is published under AGPL-3.0 and can be self-hosted, or run as a managed cloud service operated by Low Code, LLC.
The workflow is driven by GitHub labels. When an Issue is labeled ai-ready, Orbi claims it, creates an isolated git worktree and has an AI session implement the change. A separate AI session then reviews the resulting pull request against the Issue's acceptance criteria, repairs failures and reruns the test suite. Only the reviewed commit is merged. Because the work arrives as an ordinary GitHub pull request, existing branch protection, required checks and human approvals still apply. For releases, a release Issue with the ai-release label triggers Orbi to freeze the commit, cut a tag, publish the GitHub Release and close the milestone. Epics, milestones and dependencies can be used to order work.
Orbi keeps no separate database or queue; if a run crashes it reconstructs state from GitHub itself, using the Issue, pull request, labels and run ID. Models are bring-your-own: any OpenAI-compatible endpoint or a locally hosted model, and the reviewer can use a different model from the implementer. Self-hosting requires Git, a POSIX shell and model API access on Linux or macOS, with the quick-install path also using Python, gh and systemd; no GPU is needed.
The self-hosted core has no platform fee. Managed Cloud Solo costs $29 per month or $290 per year for 400 million tokens and one repository; Pro costs $79 per month or $790 per year for 1.2 billion tokens and five repositories. There is no overage billing: deliveries pause when the allowance is used. Cloud starts with three free merged deliveries and no card.
Orbi overlaps with autonomous coding agents such as Devin, OpenHands and GitHub Copilot's agent features, but focuses specifically on Issue-to-release delivery inside GitHub's existing controls rather than interactive pair programming.
