What AURA is
AURA is a workspace for event professionals, bringing projects, visual design, documents and teamwork together. It helps take an idea and a venue photo through concept discussion and preparation for the event.
The home page of the website and the About page describe AURA briefly, and Features shows what it can do today. Below are the sections inside AURA with links to the guides.
My studio, projects and team
My studio is the shared section above the directions: all projects, clients, documents, estimates and lists across all projects. Projects hold everything about an event: the event brief, five steps from the idea to the client, and the team. How to invite colleagues and the client is explained in the guide about the project team.
Conversations take place in Chats (beta): team channels, direct messages and project chats. The Tuning fork at the bottom of the screen gathers quick links for the studio and the open project.
Design
A visualization turns a venue photo, products and wishes into a frame you can correct area by area. The idea board gathers references, notes, sketches and frames, and a frame can become a visualization. Items in 3D are built from photos, and the floor plan and the hall in 3D show the seating and the space.
For the client there is the presentation (beta) and frame approval.
Production
Production orders take an item from the brief to installation. Inside an order: drawings, cutting layouts, 3D parts, the estimate and the workshop task.
Modules labeled «Beta» are open to everyone and are still being improved. Next to the label is the «Beta feedback» button.
Floristry
The Floristry direction is in beta and open to everyone. The floristry collage builds a composition from cut-out flowers, greenery and vessels on a venue photo, and AI finishes it in the light of the hall.
Keep it simple (beta) makes one picture from photos of your products without a wizard or settings. Its card is on the Design home page.
Astral and the Karmic account
The Astral holds the product catalog, the «AURA Gallery», items in 3D and your templates. Selling your own work for kulons is described in the guide on selling and buying in the Astral (beta).
The Karmic account shows the available kulons, operation prices and history. The price of a paid operation is shown next to its button.
News, lessons and help
AURA news tell what has appeared and what has been fixed. Video lessons show the work on screen, and the Aura Guide answers questions from the help.
How to take part in the closed test and report bugs is described in the focus group guide.
Working scenario
- Create a project and invite the team: projects, project team.
- Gather materials on the idea board: references, venue photos, products and notes.
- Make a sketch, a collage, a visualization or a 3D model.

- Hand the work over to production: drawings, 3D parts, cutting layouts and the workshop task.
What is available and what is in beta
Without a mark: projects and team, the idea board, visualizations, items in 3D, the floor plan and the hall in 3D, documents and tasks, the Astral, the Karmic account, news, help and video lessons.
