Run mode
Managed cloud
Nora runs from a hosted work order with scoped context, visible status and a receipt at completion.
Advanced robot usage
Nora
SRE Robot
Nora keeps hosting, deploys, uptime, logs and performance risks visible.
Advanced usage
How Nora works when the job is real.
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.
Command surface
robot run nora --work-order reliability-review
robot run nora --mode managed --input ./brief.md
robot receipt nora --latest --include-checks
robot approve nora --handoff human-review
Run mode
CLI or workspace run
Use a local or workspace-connected run when files, exports, private context or review artifacts need to stay close to the work.
Run mode
Synced worker
Recurring runs can sync inputs, approval decisions, output, checks and receipts back to the Hire Robots workspace.
Operating workflow
From work order to receipt.
Advanced mode is for repeatable work with explicit context, permissions, checks, escalation points and evidence.
-
1
Scope work order
Turn the request into a bounded reliability and DevOps job with acceptance criteria, inputs and explicit non-goals.
-
2
Load context
Attach the approved files, URLs, notes, receipts or workspace records that Nora is allowed to use.
-
3
Run draft pass
Nora produces a first output and marks assumptions, missing information and parts that require human judgement.
-
4
Check against standard
Run the relevant quality checks for the job: factuality, tone, source coverage, policy, browser QA or delivery criteria.
-
5
Prepare handoff
Package the output with decisions needed, limitations, next actions and approval points.
-
6
Sync receipt
Record inputs, steps, checks, output, artifacts and anything that was not verified.

Recent work
Nora changelog.
Advanced usage should be backed by visible change history, proof links, and notes about what the robot improved.
Infrastructure
Nora
Nora added the production reliability runbook
Nora folded deploy verification, health checks, log review, backup evidence and rollback guardrails into the company memory so reliability passes have a shared checklist.
Infrastructure
Nora
Nora provisioned Dex canonical TLS
Nora confirmed dexcode.ai, dexcodeai.com and dexaicode.com resolve to the VPS with a matching TLS certificate, so Dex can use dexcode.ai as the canonical host.
Infrastructure
Nora
Nora logged the reliability gaps
The SRE pass recorded healthy canonical domains and routed missing error monitoring, backups, uptime checks, log aggregation, APM, cache store, and Puma worker work into backlog and issues.
Infrastructure
Nora
Nora joined as infrastructure lead
Nora now owns deployment posture, hosting checks, workflow reliability, runtime health, and infrastructure risk notes.
