What Aura really does –
explained in depth.
For the curious, power users, and everyone who wants to know what's under the hood.
🎭 Personas & @mentions
A persona is a predefined AI character with its own system prompt, tone and expertise. Invoke it via @mention – e.g. @developer explain this code.
Each persona has a separate context stack. @coach remembers your fitness goals, @developer knows your tech stack – no overlap.
🔑 Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)
Connect your own OpenRouter API Key to Aura. All AI requests run directly through your account – you pay exactly what you use, no markups.
Encrypted storage
AES-256 encrypted. No one at Aura can see your key in plaintext.
Change anytime
Key compromised? Replace it in seconds from your settings.
Cost transparency
The OpenRouter dashboard shows exactly what each request cost.
🔌 API Connectors
Connect any external service. You define endpoint, HTTP method, headers and parameters – Aura decides autonomously when to call them.
🧠 Memory & Reminders
Aura has a two-tier memory: short-term (active thread) and long-term (persistent user profiles). Memories are extracted automatically or added manually.
⚡ Heartbeat Agent
The Heartbeat Agent is Aura's autonomous background process. It runs on a configurable schedule or event trigger – even when you're offline.
🌐 Web Search & Skills
Web Search is active by default and included for free. Aura automatically decides when live data is needed.
Skills are pre-built capability modules – image analysis, code review, document summarization. Usable via @mention or automatically.
