Open-source coding agent for GitHub teams that turns an issue into a reviewed, tagged release.

## Overview

Orbi is an AI coding agent for teams on GitHub that takes an issue all the way to a tagged release. An isolated run builds the change and opens a pull request, then a second session reviews it, repairs it and reruns the tests. Only the reviewed commit is merged.

Orbi runs on your own machine for free under the AGPL-3.0 license, with any OpenAI-compatible or local model; a Sustainable Use License is offered for organizations that cannot use AGPL. It drives the open-source Pi agent harness.

Orbi Cloud runs it on Orbi’s servers with tokens included, at $29 a month for one repository or $79 a month for five.

## Features

* Implements GitHub issues labeled for AI in an isolated worktree.
* A second session reviews and repairs the change and reruns the tests.
* Merges only the reviewed commit and cuts a tagged release.
* Works with any OpenAI-compatible or local model.
* Configured through Pi extensions and skills in orbi.toml.
