# Introduction to Cloud Build

When you use Cloud Build, we spin up a virtual machine running the All Out editor and pair it with the latest AI models, our asset catalog, and MCP tools to bring your game to life.

Cloud build has limited free usage since we pay for the compute time and AI models that power it. To get more usage, we offer several subscription tiers to cover extra usage.

To get started, select "Cloud Agent" when creating a new game, or select "New Cloud Build" on an existing game from the sidebar.

Depending on your subscription tier, you'll have a variety of models and options to pick from:

If you select "2 Options", for every prompt you submit we'll create two independent versions of that prompt and you'll be able to pick your favorite each time.

### Sessions, Rounds, and Options

**Sessions**

When you create a new cloud build session, behind the scenes we create a temporary copy of your game that you can work on without fear of messing up your current game.

You can see your session name at the top and in the sidebar.

**Rounds**

Each session is made up of "Rounds", which are your prompts that make a version of the game. When a round is done, you can "Accept" it which allows you to submit a new prompt to continue iterating.

**Jobs**

Jobs are the actual options you see working after you submit a round. Jobs are the All Out editor running inside a virtual machine paired up with the agent/model you selected earlier.

**Finishing a Session**

When you're done and happy with your session, you can click "Apply to live" at the top of the page which will publish the latest accepted round to your main game.

Cloud Build runs can take hours to run, but you can leave them and come back at any time. If you have the app we'll also send you a notification when they're done!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.allout.game/using-cloud-build/introduction-to-cloud-build.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
