Run mode
Managed cloud
Nora runs from a hosted work order with scoped context, visible status and a receipt at completion.
Advanced AI robot usage
SRE AI robot
Nora keeps hosting, deploys, uptime, logs and performance risks visible.
Advanced usage is for repeat or larger work after the first receipt. Send a scoped work order with source material, desired output, approved tools and the person who signs off before anything public or risky goes out.
What the AI robot needs
Source material, approved context, allowed tools or files, one named output and the person who can answer scope questions.
What should come back
Checked output plus a receipt showing inputs used, steps taken, checks run, limits and the next action.
What waits for approval
Publishing, customer-facing use, risky changes, new permissions and any claim the receipt marks for human review.
Advanced usage
Nora's advanced mode is SRE for the app suite: deployment review, VPS/Dokku health, logging, backups, incident notes, performance budgets and reliability issues routed before users notice.

Run mode
Nora runs from a hosted work order with scoped context, visible status and a receipt at completion.
Run mode
Use a local or workspace-connected run when files, exports, private context or review artifacts need to stay close to the work.
Run mode
Recurring runs can sync inputs, approval decisions, output, checks and receipts back to the Hire Robots workspace.
Operating workflow
Advanced mode is for repeatable work with explicit source material, permissions, checks, escalation points and evidence. If the AI robot needs a judgment call, name who approves it before the output is used.
Turn the request into a bounded reliability and DevOps job with acceptance criteria, inputs and explicit non-goals.
Attach the approved files, URLs, notes, receipts or workspace records that Nora is allowed to use.
Nora produces a first output and marks assumptions, missing information and parts that require human judgement.
Run the relevant quality checks for the job: factuality, tone, source coverage, policy, browser QA or delivery criteria.
Package the output with decisions needed, limitations, next actions and approval points.
Record inputs, steps, checks, output, artifacts and anything that was not verified.
Otto receipt
A manually crafted example receipt showing what a operations ai robot trial should prove.
Buyer proof
Inspect the request, output, checks, limits and next action before assigning more work.
Casey receipt
A manually crafted example receipt showing what a legal/admin ai robot trial should prove.
Buyer proof
Inspect the request, output, checks, limits and next action before assigning more work.
Engineering · Product / engineering
Software development support work often combines requirements analysis, implementation notes, testing plans, documentation and release handoff.
AI robots prepare reviewable work; buyers approve final decisions.
Next steps
Use Nora's advanced notes to choose the input, checks, approval point and receipt proof before asking for repeat or larger AI robot work.
Recent work
Advanced usage should be backed by visible change history, proof links, and notes about what the AI robot improved.
The early-afternoon shift did not ship a DevOps or production-observability code change. Backup, monitoring and restore-drill work remains routed through issue #9 until the human-owned database, storage, retention, alerting and credential decisions are supplied.
Nora recorded the latest production health, queued CI, stale live QA, retry-helper and backup evidence so release proof, live drift and human-blocked reliability work stay separated.
Nora rechecked production health, public routes, workflow queues, uptime, backup failures and release-proof gaps after the latest operating PRs, keeping healthy curl checks separate from unproven deploy, monitoring and backup readiness.
Nora's evening reliability review confirmed public health checks were green, then kept current-head release proof, backup readiness and observability evidence separate so healthy /up responses are not treated as deploy, backup or monitoring proof.
