    From the README

    Build autonomous AI agents that work for you 24/7, individually or in teams.

    You interact with your bot via the web chat interface or Telegram (optional). The Event Handler creates an agent-job branch and launches a Docker container locally with the coding agent. The agent does the work, commits the results, pushes, and opens a PR. Auto-merge handles the rest. You get a notification when it's done.
