Cloud Loops · 7 minutes
Start a Cloud Loop
Review a longer task, choose Cloud, and let Aura continue after this computer is off.
Use this guide with Aura
Open Aura, then keep this guide beside it while you follow the steps. Aura does not receive the page text, your account, your project, or anything you typed.
If nothing opens, start Aura normally. The written steps still work.
Before you start
- Aura Pro is active.
- A project is selected.
- A compatible personal provider key or enough Aura Balance is available for the chosen model.
Plan and model funding
Aura Pro covers cloud continuity. Model usage remains separate and uses only the personal key or Aura Balance you explicitly select. Aura never switches funding sources automatically.
Say this in ordinary language
Work through the remaining broken tutorial links, check each one, and stop if a fix would change account or payment behavior.
Steps
-
1
Describe a bounded multi-step goal in ordinary language.
What you should see: Aura prepares a Loop proposal instead of starting work immediately.
-
2
Read the goal, stop condition, validation, limits, and approval policy under Details.
What you should see: The proposal explains when the Loop stops and what still needs your approval.
-
3
Under Where this Loop runs, choose Cloud.
What you should see: The proposal changes from Ready to Cloud ready.
-
4
Select Start Loop.
What you should see: A Loop progress card appears in chat and the same Loop becomes visible in the web dashboard.
What Aura may change
Only work allowed by the reviewed Loop and its approval policy. Selecting Cloud does not expose your private worker or install Docker on your computer.
How to verify it worked
Confirm the Loop ID, goal, selected project, model funding source, and current status match in Aura and the dashboard.
Undo or recover
Select Keep chatting before starting, or use Stop on the running Loop. Review and roll back any applied project change separately.
Common problems
- If Cloud is unavailable, keep the Loop local; no cloud work has started.
- If funding is blocked, choose an available personal key or add Aura Balance, then explicitly retry.
