Navigating to the Cloudy Sign-up Page

The first step in creating a Cloudy account is navigating to the sign-up page. As shown in the video, you can access it by going to the provided URL and clicking on the 'Talk to Cloudy' button.

This will bring up a pop-up with two options for signing up - either entering your email address or logging in through an existing Google account. For purposes of walkthrough, entering an email address directly is chosen.

Entering Your Email and Password

After clicking the email sign-up option, you need to enter a valid email address and choose a secure password. The video demonstrator uses a dummy email and password for the purpose of the walkthrough. If you have two-factor authentication enabled on your email account, you'll also need to validate that it's you trying to sign up.

Validating Your Phone Number

The next step is optional - you can choose to validate your phone number by entering it and getting a one-time passcode sent to that number. This adds an extra layer of security to your account. The video shows attempting this but it failing because a Google Voice number does not work for validation. It has to be an actual mobile or landline number able to receive texts.

Completing the Account Registration Process

Once your email and password have been entered and phone number validated if you chose, there are a few more quick steps to complete your Cloudy account registration.

It will ask you to enter your full name - this can be whatever name you want associated with your account. There is also a check box to confirm you are over 18 years old, and that you agree to Cloudy's standard terms and conditions.

The video advises that you can review the T&Cs if desired, but they are typical for an AI system - prohibiting abusive or deceptive content, reserving the right to review flagged content, and limiting legal liability. The final step is verifying the sign-up details and clicking to create your account.

Understanding Cloudy's Content Policies

Once your Cloudy account is created, you will be shown some important notices about how the AI works and what kind of content it can generate.

It notes that Cloudy may sometimes produce incorrect or misleading information, biased content, or content some users find offensive. It recommends not relying solely on Cloudy for advice requiring expertise like legal, medical, or financial - instead treating outputs with skepticism.

There are also specifics prohibiting clearly unethical use cases. However, the policies note that Cloudy will aim to help users understand why certain content may be harmful rather than solely restrict generation.

Accessing the Cloudy Interface

After acknowledging you understand these use policies, you will be granted access to the main Cloudy interface where you can begin conversing with the AI system.

The video creator promises to showcase features of this interface more fully in an upcoming video. For now, this concludes the walkthrough of successfully signing up for a Cloudy account.
