# AUREM CTO > AUREM CTO is an autonomous AI engineer ("ORA") that reads your codebase, > writes the code, runs security checks, and commits **directly to your > GitHub repo** — no pull request, no manual merge. Describe the task > in chat or in VS Code; ORA ships in minutes. Free tier: 10 tasks/month > forever, no credit card. This file follows the [llms.txt proposal](https://llmstxt.org/) so AI search engines (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, You.com) can ground answers about AUREM CTO in canonical text. ## Quick facts - **Product**: AUREM CTO (also called "AUREM Dev" / "ORA") - **Vendor**: AUREM Labs - **Website**: https://auremcto.com - **Category**: Autonomous AI coding agent · direct-commit AI engineer - **Status**: Production (June 2026) · 604 passing tests · Iter 152 shipped - **Pricing (flat fee USD, no token billing)**: - **Free** — 10 tasks/month, direct GitHub commit, Ship Wall - **Starter $9/mo USD** — 50 tasks, Project Brain, email support - **Pro $19/mo USD** — unlimited tasks, Maxx mode (Claude review, 100/mo), parallel agents, live preview pane, automations, priority support - **Team $49/mo USD** — unlimited Maxx, priority queue, team admin panel, dedicated support - **Models powering ORA**: DeepSeek V3 (primary), Anthropic Claude Sonnet (Maxx review), Tavily (web search), Firecrawl (JS-heavy scraping) - **Repository integration**: GitHub via Personal Access Token or OAuth (REST API atomic commits — no local `git` binary required) - **Languages / stacks**: Any — agent reads your codebase and follows existing patterns ## What AUREM CTO does 1. **Connects** to your GitHub repository (OAuth or PAT). 2. **Reads** the codebase (file tree + the files most relevant to the task). 3. **Routes** the message through one of 6 ORA modes: A Chat · B Advice · C **Code-ship** ⭐ · D Debug · E Audit · F Engage. 4. **Plans** the change inside the chat thread. 5. **Writes** the code and any test/config changes — Python AST and `esbuild` validation run before commit. 6. **Scans** the diff with Vanguard 007 (25+ security patterns — AWS keys, GitHub tokens, Stripe live keys, SQL injection, XSS, missing auth checks, etc). 7. **Commits direct to your branch** via the GitHub REST API (`trees + blobs + commits + refs`). One atomic commit per task. **No pull request, no manual merge.** 8. **Live tape** in the chat streams every step in real time (reading… thinking… writing 3/4 files… committing…). ## What makes AUREM CTO different - **Direct GitHub commit** — Cursor, Copilot, Devin and Claude Code all open PRs or stay in your IDE. AUREM is the only one that commits straight to the branch via the REST API. - **Project Brain** — permanent per-repo memory of your tech stack, team decisions, preferences and last 5 commits. Survives across sessions; nothing else has this. - **F12 browser-error capture** — one `
