PostHog Desktop cloud runs

A cloud run is a task that runs in an isolated PostHog-managed workspace instead of on your computer. Close the app or shut down your computer, and the agent keeps working.

Cloud runs consume AI credits for model usage and for the CPU and memory used while the task runs. See pricing for current model and cloud compute rates.

Start a cloud run

Choose Cloud in the task composer, select a cloud environment, and send your prompt. The environment supplies the secrets, environment variables, and network access the task needs.

Return later to review the result, open a pull request, or move the task to your computer.

Move between cloud and local

A task can move between your computer and the cloud in either direction. PostHog Desktop carries over:

• Committed and uncommitted code changes, including untracked files
• The task's branch
• The agent conversation

The agent continues with the same work and conversation after the handoff.

Moving a cloud task to your computer requires a clean working tree in the destination repository. Commit or stash local changes first.
