Introducing our AI powered Development Environment Setup Workflow

Gitpod’s Enterprise SWE agent, Ona, now automatically analyzes repositories and generates Dev Container and automations configurations, helping you discover the value of Gitpod much faster.

When developers open an environment without existing Dev Container configurations, Gitpod offers to run our AI powered workflow to generate the configuration automatically.

Ona works reletently, rebuilding and testing the generated configuration until it is confident it gives you a productive setup.

Simply click “Yes Please” when prompted, Ona will handle the rest.

How it works

1. Open an environment in Gitpod without an existing Dev Container configuration
2. Gitpod offers to run our Ona powered setup agent automatically
3. Ona generates devcontainer.json and automations.yaml based on detected dependencies and best practices
4. Review and commit configurations for your team
5. All subsequent environment launches use the optimized configuration
