# Ara

Ara is an autonomous software engineer for GitHub. Connect a repository, assign issues, and Ara's cloud agents open evidence-backed pull requests with screen recordings, logs, and review-ready diffs. People drive Ara from the web app at https://ara.so; programmatic per-user access is available through the HTTP API documented at https://ara.so/llms.txt.

## Pages

Every page is also available as clean Markdown: append `.md` to any URL, or send `Accept: text/markdown`. The entire site as one file: https://ara.so/llms-full.txt

### Product

- [Get Ara](https://ara.so/download.md): Ara for Mac, the terminal, and the browser. Sign in once and your sessions follow you.

### Company

- [Notes from the software factory.](https://ara.so/blog.md): Product updates, engineering deep-dives, and how teams ship with Ara.
- [Changelog](https://ara.so/news.md): What's new in Ara: features, fixes, and infrastructure.
- [Contact Ara](https://ara.so/contact.md): Get in touch with the Ara team.
- [Enterprise grade coding agent built for software teams.](https://ara.so/pricing.md): Start with Ara in minutes, then scale verified engineering across your organization without adding a per-seat tax.
- [Building the future of coding.](https://ara.so/about.md): We are building the software factory we wanted as engineers: fast enough to keep up with ideas, careful enough to trust with real repositories, and opinionated enough to make the whole loop better each time it runs.
- [$25,000 for YC founders.](https://ara.so/yc.md): Current and alumni YC companies. Redeem through Bookface.

### Blog

- [Rust harness wars: grok-build vs codex](https://ara.so/blog/rust-harness-wars.md): We cloned xAI's grok-build and OpenAI's codex and read both line by line, twenty subsystems each, to see where two labs building the same coding agent actually diverge.
- [From issue runs to software factories](https://ara.so/blog/from-issue-runs-to-software-factories.md): How Ara shapes the loop from incoming signal to a verified PR and updated repo memory.
- [The discipline of an agent run](https://ara.so/blog/the-discipline-of-an-agent-run.md): Why capable agents need a clear assignment, a bounded environment, and evidence that a human can review.

### Enterprise

- [Autonomous engineering inside your perimeter.](https://ara.so/enterprise.md): Ara ships verified pull requests in your cloud, under your controls, with a signed record on every run. Start on one repo and expand as the evidence stacks up.

### Use cases

- [Turn every alert into a closed loop](https://ara.so/use-cases/operations.md): Ara watches the systems you run, triages each signal against the playbook, and acts. What used to page a human at 3am now opens a verified pull request instead.
- [From issue to verified pull request, one context.](https://ara.so/use-cases/engineering.md): Ara reads the issue, reproduces it in an isolated workspace, writes the fix, and verifies it before asking for review. The whole sdlc runs in a single thread of context.
- [Point a question at the repo. Get a cited answer.](https://ara.so/use-cases/research.md): Ara runs an agentic research pass over a codebase or problem, traces the real call paths, and reports findings with a citation behind every claim. Each run also writes back what it learned, so the next one starts smarter.
