# Run Autonomous Async • AI Agent SDK
> run_autonomous_async: Async variant of run_autonomous() for concurrent agent execution.
# run\_autonomous\_async
Async
Method
> This is a method of the [**Agent**](../classes/Agent) class in the [**agent**](../modules/agent) module.
Async variant of run\_autonomous() for concurrent agent execution.
This method executes a task autonomously using async I/O, enabling
multiple agents to run concurrently without blocking. It handles:
* Progressive escalation based on task complexity
* Doom loop detection and recovery
* Iteration limits and timeouts
* Completion detection (keyword-based or promise-based)
* Optional context clearing between iterations
## Signature
```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
async def run_autonomous_async(prompt: str, max_iterations: Optional[int], timeout_seconds: Optional[float], completion_promise: Optional[str], clear_context: bool) -> Any
```
## Parameters
The task to execute
Override max iterations (default from config)
Timeout in seconds (default: no timeout)
Optional string that signals completion when wrapped in \TEXT\ tags in the response
Whether to clear chat history between iterations (forces agent to rely on external state like files)
### Returns
AutonomyResult with success status, output, and metadata
### Exceptions
If autonomy is not enabled
## Usage
```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
import asyncio
async def main():
agent = Agent(instructions="...", autonomy=True)
result = await agent.run_autonomous_async(
"Refactor the auth module",
completion_promise="DONE",
clear_context=True
)
if result.success:
print(result.output)
asyncio.run(main())
```
## Uses
* `ValueError`
* `time_module.time`
* `isoformat`
* `datetime.now`
* `get_recommended_stage`
* `AutonomyResult`
* `achat`
* `clear_history`
* `asyncio.sleep`
