The Cloud Computer is the workspace Notis uses when a task needs more than a chat response. It gives Notis a temporary computer where it can open files, run scripts, use command-line tools, drive a browser, edit spreadsheets, render presentations, and return finished artifacts. Most users meet the Cloud Computer through Skills. A skill tells Notis how to do the work; the Cloud Computer gives Notis the environment to execute it.

​
What it can do

  • Work with files - read uploads, create new files, transform existing documents, and package the result back into the conversation.
  • Run scripts and CLIs - execute Python, shell scripts, and installed command-line tools when a skill or task requires them.
  • Use a browser agent - navigate websites, fill forms, extract data, take screenshots, and verify pages visually.
  • Manipulate documents - create or edit PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, and slide decks with real formatting.
  • Generate artifacts - return downloadable files, screenshots, reports, cleaned datasets, or rendered presentations.

​
When Notis uses it

Notis uses the Cloud Computer automatically when the request needs execution instead of just reasoning. For example:
“Turn these receipts into a clean expense spreadsheet.”
“Open this website, capture the pricing table, and summarize what changed.”
“Create a PowerPoint from this outline using our brand template.”
“Run the weekly social-media-review skill and schedule the winning posts.”
If the task can be answered directly from chat context, integrations, or memory, Notis may not need the Cloud Computer.

​
How it relates to skills

Skills are bundled instructions and optional assets. Some skills are plain writing or reasoning instructions. Others include scripts, templates, browser steps, or document-processing logic. Those richer skills run on the Cloud Computer. Common built-in skill families include:
  • Documents - PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX creation and editing.
  • Browser Agent - website navigation, extraction, screenshots, and form workflows.
  • Data cleanup - CSV, spreadsheet, and structured-data transformations.
  • Publishing workflows - research, drafting, formatting, and uploading outputs to connected apps.

​
Files and outputs

When a Cloud Computer task creates a file, Notis attaches the result back to the thread. Depending on the request, Notis may also save the result to a connected app such as Notion, Google Drive, Gmail, or another integration you authorize. For sensitive files, use the same rule as with any assistant workflow: only upload material you are comfortable letting Notis process for the task you requested. See Privacy & Security for how attachments and processors are handled.

​
Limits and control

  • Notis only uses connected integrations and memory sources that you have authorized.
  • Long-running work continues asynchronously and returns to the same thread when finished.
  • You can inspect what Notis did from the Desktop and Web App’s agent timeline, and use Dev Mode when you need the raw tool calls and outputs. See Desktop and Web App.
  • If a task requires access Notis does not have, it will ask you to connect the missing integration or provide the needed file.

​
Good requests

Be specific about the final artifact and destination:
“Create an XLSX with one sheet per month, include formulas, and send it back here.”
“Use the browser agent to capture screenshots of the onboarding flow, then make a bug report.”
“Use my blog-post skill to draft the article, save it to Notion, and attach a Markdown copy here.”
