Fund what you depend on.

CleverCrow lets backers pool money against the GitHub issues they actually care about, and lets maintainers turn that funding into pull requests using a coding agent they choose and control.

What CleverCrow does

A backer browses a maintainer's repo on CleverCrow, finds an open GitHub issue, and adds it to their pledge scope, a free signal that they'd fund a run on it. They can back individual issues or a whole repo to cover every issue, including ones opened later. When the maintainer is ready, they click Start and a coding agent of their choice attempts the work in a sandbox, opens a pull request, responds to CI failures and review feedback, and waits for the maintainer to merge.

The maintainer stays in control at every step: they pick which agent runs, which issues are eligible, and they review every PR before it merges. Backers fund the work. Maintainers do the engineering, with help.

How it works, end to end

  1. A backer tops up their CleverCrow wallet (card charged at checkout) and adds issues they'd fund to their pledge scope. The wallet stays liquid.
  2. The maintainer clicks Starton an issue. The orchestrator holds a reservation against each backing wallet (FCFS, capped at the issue's start threshold).
  3. A coding agent plans, codes, fixes CI, and addresses review feedback under hard round caps. Each phase debits the reservation for its share of the cost.
  4. When the run ends, whatever the agent didn't spend settles back to each backer's wallet.
