>log in to commentHey everyone 👋 I'm Lawrence, the maker. Most AI coding tools stop at the PR. Orbi keeps going: a second session checks the diff against the Issue's acceptance criteria, then it merges and tags the release. When it gets stuck it labels the Issue ai-blocked and waits for a human. Happy to answer anything about running it unattended.
Orbi is an open-source autonomous AI agent that turns GitHub Issues into reviewed pull requests and tagged releases.
- for
- Teams that want AI-driven end-to-end issue delivery without leaving code in a third-party service.
- pricing
- freemium · free trial
- license
- AGPL-3.0
Key features
- Issue-to-release pipeline — Labels an Issue as ai-ready, writes code in an isolated worktree, reviews, merges and tags a release.
- Independent review session — A second AI session reviews the PR, can fix failures and re-runs tests before merge.
- GitHub-native state — All state lives in GitHub (issues, PRs, labels, run_id), no external DB or daemon.
- Self-hosted or cloud — Run the open-source core on your own machine or use Orbi Cloud with managed runners.
- Bring-your-own model — Supports any OpenAI-compatible API or locally hosted model for code generation.
- Automatic recovery — If a run crashes, the next timer tick resumes from the same GitHub record.
- Token-based cloud pricing — Cloud plans include monthly token allowances; no overage billing.
- CLI & Docker install — Install via uv tool or Docker image; requires Python 3.14, git, gh, systemd.
Use cases
- Automatically implement a backlog item labeled ai-ready and ship a tagged release.
- Run AI-generated code through an independent repair session before merging.
- Self-hosted CI where code, credentials and test suites never leave the organization.
- Managed cloud delivery for teams that prefer not to maintain the runner infrastructure.

- Orbi vs Fine: Fine provides AI agents for building software but focuses on interactive assistance, not end-to-end issue-to-release automation.
- Orbi vs SuperAGI Cloud: SuperAGI Cloud lets you run autonomous AI agents on cloud infrastructure, but does not integrate tightly with GitHub Issue workflow.
- Orbi vs Pieces Copilot: Pieces Copilot is an AI coding sidekick that suggests code while you work, not a full delivery pipeline.
- Orbi vs Calljmp: Calljmp offers managed AI agents as code, lacking the GitHub-native issue-to-release loop Orbi provides.
Orbi FAQ
What does Orbi need to run self-hosted?+
A Linux or macOS machine with Git, a POSIX shell, Python 3.14+, gh CLI and access to an OpenAI-compatible model API.
Can I use my own AI model?+
Yes, self-hosted Orbi works with any OpenAI-compatible API or locally hosted model; you pay the model provider directly.
How is Orbi different from Copilot or Cursor?+
Copilot and Cursor assist while you type; Orbi runs autonomously from an Issue through review, merge and release without human typing.
Who reviews the AI-generated code?+
A separate Orbi session independently reviews, can modify the code, reruns tests and decides whether to merge.
What happens if a delivery crashes mid-run?+
State is stored in GitHub; the next timer tick resumes from the same Issue, PR and run ID, reconstructing the delivery.
Is the cloud service free to try?+
Orbi Cloud offers 3 free merged deliveries with no credit card; after that you subscribe to Solo or Pro plans.
