For teams losing hours to slow GitHub Actions
Your team isn't slow.
Your CI is.
Monk CI makes GitHub Actions 10x faster. One line to switch.
Builds crawl past 20 minutes. The cache drags. Jobs wait for a runner while your engineers lose the thread and the bill climbs. Monk CI is the AI-native runner replacement that ends the wait, with the same workflows, one line of YAML, and up to 75% lower cost.
All fields are required except mobile number.
The problem
Your team is not slow.
Your runner is.
GitHub-hosted runners are shared, throttled machines. Builds crawl past 20 minutes. The cache restores slowly. Jobs wait for a runner while your engineers context-switch away and the bill climbs with every push. It is a tax on velocity, and it never shows up on a dashboard.
Between push and merge
Most runners report.
Monk CI acts.
Two checks run beside every pipeline: one fixes the build that broke, the other stops unsafe code reaching main.
When a build fails
The agent opens the fix PR
It reads the whole failing job, isolates the root cause, and pushes a candidate patch for review.

Shield scans before it merges
Four scanners read the diff for secrets, vulnerable code, dependency CVEs and risky infrastructure.

How it works
Faster CI in three steps. Zero migration.
No new platform to learn, no YAML rewrite. You keep GitHub Actions and swap the machine underneath it.
Connect your org
Install the Monk CI app on your GitHub organization and approve it once.

Push and ship
Same workflows, same secrets, dedicated hardware. Roll back in 30 seconds, anytime.
Same YAML. Different speeds.
A real Rust build (Helix). Same workflow file — two runner models.

Faster
Per Build Saved
* Benchmark measured from a real GitHub Actions workload. Same workflow YAML, different runner infrastructure.
What you get
More speed, less to manage.
3x faster compute
Dedicated, co-located runners with up to 32 vCPUs. Not shared, throttled machines.
40x faster Docker
Remote layer synchronization, cache bypasses storage bottlenecks.
4x faster cache
Persistent SSD caching restores dependencies at near-instant speed.
AI auto-healer
Failed pipelines get an automatic root-cause fix PR, opened for your review.
The honest comparison
Monk CI vs GitHub-hosted runners
Keep your workflows. Change the machine underneath, and what your team waits on disappears.
| Monk CI | GitHub-hosted runners | |
|---|---|---|
| Build speed | Up to 10x faster | Shared, throttled baseline |
| Docker builds | 40x faster | Storage-bound |
| Actions cache | 4x faster | Slow restore |
| Cost | Up to 75% lower | Climbs with size and frequency |
| Infrastructure to manage | None, fully managed | None, but limited and throttled |
| When a build fails | AI opens a fix PR | You debug it |
| Migration | One line of YAML | n/a |
Pricing
Pay for minutes, not seats.
Plans start at $20 a month for 5,000 build minutes, with unlimited users on every tier. Go past your minutes and you pay $0.004 a minute on a 2-vCPU runner, nothing more. Start with a 14-day trial and 5,000 free minutes, no credit card required.

Questions engineering teams ask first
Yes. Monk CI runs on GitHub Organizations, built for teams that manage repositories and access through an org. Personal accounts are not supported.
No. Your GitHub Actions workflows, secrets, triggers, and steps stay exactly as they are. The only change is one line: the runs-on label.
Every job runs in a fully isolated, ephemeral VM that is destroyed on completion. No code persists between runs.
Change the one line back and you are on GitHub-hosted runners again in 30 seconds. Monk CI sits alongside GitHub Actions, not underneath it.
All of them. Matrix builds, reusable workflows, composite actions, GitHub secrets, OIDC tokens, and workflow_call all work exactly as they do on GitHub-hosted runners.
Let your CI fix itself.
One line to migrate, zero risk.
Faster builds, lower bills, and an AI agent that opens the fix PR before you have seen the failure. Start your 14-day trial and run your first build today.
