Thank you for believing in this before it was polished, before it was perfect. You being here means the world. 💙🦝

What Is This?

If you've never used AI before, that's perfectly okay. Here's the simplest explanation we can give.

heyron® gives you your own personal AI assistant. Think of it like Siri or Alexa — except this one is yours. You decide its personality, what it knows, how it talks, and what it helps you with. It's not a shared chatbot. It runs on your own private server. Your conversations, your data, your rules. Nobody else sees it.

You can connect it to Discord, Telegram, email, or other apps so it can talk to you wherever you already are. People are already connecting their agents to their inboxes. And you can teach it to sound like you, help with your specific work, or just be a really good assistant.

You don't need to know how to code. If you can type a text message, you can use this.

Who Is This For?

If you:

...then heyron® is for you.

How to Get Started (From Zero)

Follow these steps in order. You'll have your own AI agent running in about 15 minutes.

1. Go to heyron.ai and Sign Up

Open your browser and go to heyron.ai. Click the sign-up button and create your account. It costs $29/month — that gets you your own private AI agent on your own server.

2. Check Your Email

After signing up, you'll get a welcome email with your dashboard link. It'll look something like: your-name.c1.heyron.ai. Bookmark this — it's your agent's home base.

3. Log Into Your Dashboard

Click the link from your email. You'll see a dashboard called Nerve. This is your control center. If you see a "Connect" button, click it to get started.

4. Give Your Agent a Personality

Click Config on your dashboard. You'll see a personality file. This tells your agent who it is. Write in plain English: "You are a friendly assistant who helps me with..." Don't overthink it — you can always change it later.

5. Pick a Brain (Choose a Model)

Your agent needs an AI "brain." Go to Model and pick one. Kimi K2.5 is a great starting choice. You can also try Claude or GPT-4. Switch anytime — it's not permanent.

6. Talk to Your Agent

Click Chat in the dashboard and say hello! Try asking it something. If you don't like how it sounds, go back to Config and tweak the personality. This is YOUR agent — make it sound like you want.

7. Connect to Discord, Telegram, or Email

Want your agent on Discord, Telegram, or even your email inbox? Go to connect.c1.heyron.ai and follow the steps. It'll walk you through linking your agent to whichever platform you use. Some members have already connected their agents to email — your agent can live wherever you do.

8. Join The Den 🦝

The heyron® community Discord is called The Den. When you join, start in #new-start-here — it's a forum with everything you need: the starting guide, announcements, tutorials, roadmap, and a welcome wall to introduce yourself. Need help? Head to The Offices — that's where Ron's Office (talk to Ron directly), Ron's Helpers (community troubleshooting), and Community Help Chat live. It's all organized so you can find the right door to walk through.

How Do I Actually Do Stuff?

Real tasks, real instructions. Copy these prompts into your agent's chat and watch it work.

📊 Make a Google Sheet

Your AI can't create the Sheet directly, but it CAN build the entire content and formulas for you:

I need a monthly budget tracker spreadsheet. Give me: 1. Column headers for: Date, Category, Description, Amount, Running Total 2. A list of common budget categories (rent, groceries, utilities, etc.) 3. The formulas I need for the Running Total column 4. Step-by-step instructions for setting this up in Google Sheets click to copy

📬 Organize Your Inbox

Your agent can't access your email, but it CAN build you a system to manage it:

I'm drowning in emails. Help me create an email management system: 1. Give me 5-6 folder/label categories that work for most people 2. Write rules I can set up in Gmail to auto-sort emails 3. Give me a 10-minute daily email routine I can follow 4. Write a template response for emails I get often but don't have time to answer click to copy

⏰ Set Up Reminders & Recurring Tasks

Connect your calendar and ask for scheduling help:

I need to remember these recurring tasks: 1. Team meeting every Monday at 10am 2. Weekly check-in with my boss Friday at 4pm 3. Gym 3x per week (Mon, Wed, Fri) at 6am 4. Review my goals every Sunday evening Help me create a scheduling system and set reminders in my calendar. click to copy

🚧 Beta Software

Heyron is actively being built. Things change fast. If something looks different from this guide, that's normal. Stuck? Ask in #rons-helpers or #community-help-chat in The Den on Discord — the community is here for you.

You Have a Newly Hatched Agent

Right now, you have a blank slate. Your agent doesn't know you yet, doesn't know what you want, and hasn't been configured for your needs. That's by design — this is a platform you shape, not a finished product.

In one sentence: Unlike ChatGPT, Heyron connects to outside tools and has stronger persistence — but requires setup to unlock its potential.

📦 What's In The Box

  • One newly hatched agent — Ready to learn you and your workflows
  • Behavior-control files — SOUL.md (personality), MEMORY.md (long-term memory), IDENTITY.md (who you are), TOOLS.md (your integrations)
  • Short-term memory — Each conversation, until you close the tab
  • Long-term memory capability — Daily logs and curated files (once configured)
  • Builtin websearch — Uses BraveAPI, not your preferred browser
  • Image/document Recognition — Upload images for analysis
  • Image/document Upload — Use paperclip in chat (not paste)
  • Help feature — Built into The Den Discord (Ron's Helpers, Community Help Chat)
  • Community support — Active Discord community with The Offices for direct help

What You DON'T Have Yet

That's why you're reading this guide. These modules walk you through the essential attachments:

What's Missing Why It Matters Fixed In Module
Persistent memory Agent forgets you when session ends 02, 06
Discord access Browser chat only; no phone access 03
Saved work Robust File storage 04, 06
Time-based actions No reminders, scheduling, or automation 07

💡 The Cricut Analogy

When you unboxed your Cricut, you couldn't immediately make a project. You had to download software, pair the machine, and attach tools. Heyron is the same. These 7 modules are your unboxing sequence. Skip them, and Day 1 work disappears. Complete them, and you have a partner that remembers, saves, and improves over time.

Ready? Module 02 is the conversation that creates your agent's memory and personality. It's where the partnership begins.

02 — Talk to Your Agent 5 min
+

⏰ Set a Timer

This module teaches you to have a short, focused setup conversation. Don't wander into project work yet. Modules 3-5 contain critical setup steps you need first.

When You Open Heyron

You'll see something like this:

  • 🖥️ Chat window — Empty or showing a welcome message
  • File list — SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, IDENTITY.md exist but are mostly blank
  • Context panel — Shows your agent is "newly hatched" with no memory of you
  • Input box — Where you type

Important: Your agent doesn't know you yet. It won't ask questions automatically. You need to start the conversation.

Name Your Agent

If your agent doesn't have a name yet, this is the time. Names matter — they shape how you think about the relationship. Pick something you'll actually say.

The Setup Conversation

This isn't ChatGPT. You're not "prompting" — you're introducing yourself to a new colleague. Cover these basics:

What Your Agent Needs to Know:

  • Your name — What to call you
  • Your work — What you do, what you're building
  • Your level — Technical comfort ("I can follow instructions" vs. "I write code daily")
  • Your goals — Why you bought this, what problem you're solving
  • Your style — How you like explanations (bullets vs. paragraphs, direct vs. gentle)

Example Conversations

Scenario A: The Side Hustle Founder

You: "I'm Sarah. I run a small Etsy shop selling digital planners. I'm not technical — I can use Canva and Google Docs but I've never touched code. I bought this because I need help organizing my product launches and writing better descriptions. I want you to be direct and concise. Save everything important to files so I don't lose it."

Agent: "Got it, Sarah. Etsy shop, digital planners, non-technical, need organization + copy help. I'll be direct, save to files, and explain with examples not code. What would you like to tackle first?"

Scenario B: The Technical User

You: "I'm David, web developer, comfortable with Python and APIs. I want an agent to help me research neighborhoods for a move, automate some data collection, and build small tools. I prefer technical accuracy over hand-holding. If I need something explained simply, I'll ask."

Scenario C: The Overwhelmed Professional

You: "I'm overwhelmed and I don't know where to start. I have a job in marketing, two kids, and a side project I can't get off the ground. I bought this hoping it would help me organize my scattered thoughts. I need you to be patient and break things into tiny steps."

What Happens Behind the Scenes

As you talk, your agent is creating and updating files:

📝 Files Created/Updated:

  • SOUL.md — Your agent's personality based on your preferences
  • IDENTITY.md — Who you are, what you do, how you work
  • MEMORY.md — Important facts and preferences to remember
  • memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md — Today's conversation log

💡 Prompting is Just Focused Conversation

"Prompt engineering" sounds complicated. It isn't. It's just knowing what you want and saying it clearly.

❌ "Help me with my business" — Too vague

✅ "I sell digital planners on Etsy. Help me write better product descriptions that mention the problem they solve." — Clear context + specific task

⚠️ Don't Get Stuck Here

It's tempting to keep chatting once you start. Your agent feels helpful and you want to dive into real work. Resist. You still need to connect Discord and GitHub. Have your setup conversation, then move on.

03 — Communicate with Discord 10 min
+

🎮 The Cricut Analogy: Download the Software

You bought a Cricut machine, but you can't use it until you install Design Space. Discord is your Design Space. It's the persistent interface where conversations live, even when you close the browser tab.

What Discord Does (That the Web Chat Doesn't)

  • Persistent conversations: Close your browser, come back tomorrow, history is still there
  • Multiple channels: Separate spaces for different topics or projects
  • Rich media: Images, files, code snippets display properly
  • Any device: Phone, tablet, laptop — all sync
  • Notifications: Agent can ping you when something needs attention

The Setup (You Do This)

1. Create Your Discord Account
  • Go to discord.com
  • Click "Sign Up" or "Open Discord in Browser"
  • Enter your email, create a username, set a password
  • Verify your email (check inbox for confirmation link)
  • Download the Discord app (optional but recommended) or use the browser version
2. Create Your Discord Server (Your "Home Base")

You need a server to house your agent. Look for the "+" button in the left sidebar

  • Click "Create My Own"
  • Select "For a club or community" or "For me and my friends"
  • Server name: "My Agent", "Heyron Workspace", or "Your name + AI"
  • Click "Create"
3. Create Your Agent Bot
  • Go to discord.com/developers/applications
  • Log in with your Discord account
  • Click "New Application" (top right)
  • Give it a name (your agent's name)
  • Click "Create"
  • On the left sidebar, click "Bot"
  • Click "Add Bot"
  • Click "Reset Token" and COPY THE TOKEN immediately

⚠️ This token is your bot's password. Never share it publicly.

4. Invite Your Bot to Your Server
  • In Developer Portal, go to "OAuth2" → "URL Generator"
  • Under "Scopes", check "bot"
  • Under "Bot Permissions", check: Send Messages, Read Message History, Attach Files, Embed Links, Add Reactions
  • Copy the generated URL and paste into a new browser tab
  • Select your server and click "Authorize"
  • Complete the CAPTCHA
5. Connect Your Agent to Discord

Say to your agent: "Connect to Discord. My bot token is: [paste token here]"

6. Send Your First Message
  • Go to your Discord server
  • Find the "#general" channel
  • Type a message to your agent
  • Wait for a response

What You Can Do Now

  • ✅ Close your browser and come back — conversation history persists
  • ✅ Send images and files easily
  • ✅ Create multiple channels for different projects
  • ✅ Access conversations from phone, tablet, or any computer
  • ✅ Your agent can notify you when tasks complete
04 — Connect GitHub 10-15 min
+

STOP — Do This Before Real Work

Discord saves conversations. GitHub saves files. Without both, you lose everything when sessions end. This is your "Save Project" button.

What Is GitHub? (Simple Version)

GitHub is like Google Drive for files + a time machine for changes.

  • Storage: Your agent can save files there, accessible from any device
  • Downloads: Get complicated projects out of chat
  • Backup: If something breaks, your files are safe
  • Sharing: Share file links with others
  • History: GitHub remembers every change

🗄️ The Cricut Analogy: Save Your Project

Without GitHub: Your SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, and created files — gone on restart.

With GitHub: Everything persists.

What You Do vs. What Your Agent Does

👤 YOU Do This (One-time setup):

  • Create a GitHub account
  • Create a "repository" (folder)
  • Give your agent a "token" (password)
  • Test that it works

🤖 YOUR AGENT Does This (Ongoing):

  • Save files to GitHub automatically
  • Organize files into folders
  • Retrieve files when needed
  • Create backups on schedule

The Setup (You Do This)

1. Create Your GitHub Account
  • Go to github.com
  • Click "Sign up"
  • Enter email, create password, choose username
  • Verify your email
2. Create Your Repository
  • Click the "+" button (top right)
  • Click "New repository"
  • Repository name: Type `my-agent-files` or `heyron-backup`
  • Description: "Files and backups for my AI agent"
  • Public or Private? Choose Private (recommended)
  • Check "Add a README file"
  • Click "Create repository"
3. Get a Personal Access Token
  • Click your profile picture (top right)
  • Click "Settings"
  • Scroll down left sidebar, click "Developer settings"
  • Click "Personal access tokens" → "Tokens (classic)"
  • Click "Generate new token (classic)"
  • Note: "Agent Access"
  • Expiration: "No expiration"
  • Scopes: Check "repo"
  • Click "Generate token"
  • COPY the token immediately! Looks like `ghp_abc123xyz...`
4. Give Your Agent the Token

Say: "Connect to GitHub. My repository is at github.com/YOURUSERNAME/YOUR-REPO-NAME. My token is: ghp_abc123xyz..."

5. Test: Save a File

Say: "Create a test file on GitHub with today's date"

You should see it on github.com in your repository.

What You Can Do Now

  • ✅ Ask your agent to save important files
  • ✅ Upload documents for the agent to analyze
  • ✅ Download agent-created work
  • ✅ Access files from any device
  • ✅ Recover everything if your agent session resets

The Reality Check

Without GitHub: Close browser → conversation gone (Discord fixes this). Agent resets → files gone, memory gone.

With GitHub: Everything persists and you build cumulative knowledge over time.

The Reality Check

The big AI platforms promise everything in one place — images, video, audio, all inside the chat. Your Agent works differently. It is text-based at heart and orchestrates specialized tools instead of doing everything itself.

🎬 The Orchestration Model

Your Agent does NOT:

  • Generate images directly
  • Edit photos or videos
  • Create video content
  • Watch YouTube links or analyze video natively

Your Agent DOES:

  • Connect to specialized platforms via API
  • Analyze images you upload
  • Write detailed prompts based on your project knowledge
  • Direct the workflow — you approve, platforms execute

Images: What Actually Works

Your Agent CAN Do This With Images

  • Analyze content: "What's in this product photo?"
  • Extract text (OCR): Pull text from screenshots, documents, signs
  • Answer questions: "Does this image contain a price tag?"
  • Retrieve from URLs: Scan images hosted online
  • Write prompts: Create detailed descriptions for external image generators

Your Agent CANNOT Do This

  • Edit or modify images
  • Generate images directly (no built-in DALL-E)
  • Create animations or video from still images

Image Generation Platforms

Your Agent writes prompts; these platforms generate the visuals:

  • DALL-E 3 (OpenAI) — Best for precise, literal interpretations
  • Midjourney — Best for artistic, stylized images
  • Leonardo — Good balance of control and artistry

Audio: ElevenLabs Integration

ElevenLabs is the audio platform tested and confirmed working with Heyron.

ElevenLabs Capabilities (via API)

  • Text-to-Speech: high quality voices, 5 available for agentic use, voice cloning
  • Transcription: Convert audio/video to text (speech-to-text)
  • Music Generation: Create background music that matches your content
  • Free tier: Available for testing and light use

Video: The Studio Workflow

Your Agent cannot watch YouTube links or analyze video content natively.

ElevenLabs Studio 3.0

For video creation and editing, ElevenLabs offers Studio 3.0 — an AI-powered video editor that integrates with their audio models.

Typical Video Workflow: Your Agent writes script → ElevenLabs Studio generates voiceover + adds to timeline → You upload footage or generate video → Your Agent reviews and suggests edits → Platform renders final output

The Cost Reality

  • Image generators: Usually credits per generation (varies by platform)
  • ElevenLabs: Free tier for testing; paid for scale
  • Video platforms: Generally most expensive — compute-intensive

Money-saving tip: Your Agent can optimize prompts to reduce waste. Better prompts = fewer attempts = lower cost.

06 — Memory Deep Dive 10 min
+

Sit back and think about how people talk, develop ideas, and save information. In a meeting, someone takes notes. Not everything gets written down—just what seems important or what's explicitly pointed out. Later, people ask about what was said, action items get captured, and finally everything gets filed away or tossed. Your Agent works exactly the same way.

👔 The Meeting Assistant Analogy

Imagine a weekly staff meeting. The assistant sits in the corner with a notepad:

  • The assistant listens but does not transcribe everything
  • Decides what seems important and jots that down
  • The manager (you) says: "Write this down—it's important"
  • Someone asks: "What did we decide last month?" — assistant flips through notes
  • Chairperson asks: "What are our action items?" — assistant summarizes
  • Meeting adjourned: The assistant writes up a summary, files notes (or tosses them)
  • Unless specifically instructed otherwise, the handwritten notes get thrown away

Your Agent works identically. The chat is the meeting. Your memory files are the notes.

The Four Memory Containers

SOUL.md — Core Identity

This is the assistant's personality and job description. Who they are, how they speak, how they approach tasks. Crafted in Module 02. Loaded every session.

MEMORY.md — Long-Term Knowledge

The file the assistant keeps in their desk drawer—important information from past meetings. Your Agent writes here when something seems worth remembering, or when you say "remember this."

memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md — Daily Meeting Notes

Today's steno pad. Automatic but temporary—raw notes, not permanent records. The agent creates one each calendar day.

Real-Time Context — The Current Conversation

What the assistant hears right now. The words you're typing. Immediate and complete, but does not persist. Close the tab, and this memory is gone unless saved to a file.

Automatic vs. Explicit Saves

  • Automatic: Daily notes (memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md) when conversation seems significant
  • When you say "remember this": Goes to MEMORY.md for long-term retention
  • When you say "create": Work product file created in workspace
  • When you say "save to GitHub": Permanent cloud backup
  • Unsaid: Chat context is temporary and disappears

Storage Structure

Your files live in two places:

  • Workspace (VPS): Active files on the server—SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, daily notes, your documents and folders
  • Cloud (GitHub): Your backup vault—accessible anywhere, survives VPS issues

Best Practices

  • "Remember this for next time" → Goes to MEMORY.md
  • "Create a document from this" → File created in workspace
  • "Save this to GitHub" → Cloud backup created
  • Restructure when cumbersome: Move old notes to archives, clean workspace
  • Save early, save often: Daily notes are automatic; important decisions need explicit instruction

Bottom Line

Your memory system is only as good as your instruction. The assistant is competent but not psychic. If something matters, say so explicitly. "Write this down." "Save this." "Remember this." Don't assume.

07 — Time and Cron 10 min

The Eternal Now

Your Agent Has No Sense of Time

Your Agent lives in an eternal present. It does not know:

  • What day of the week it is
  • Whether 5 minutes or 5 hours have passed
  • If it's morning or night
  • That "tomorrow" exists

To your Agent, every moment is now. This is not a bug — it's fundamental to how Agents work. You must tell them explicitly.

UTC: The Universal Clock

Heyron runs on UTC (Coordinated Universal Time):

  • UTC = EST + 5 hours (or +4 during daylight saving)
  • UTC = PST + 8 hours (or +7 during daylight saving)

⚠️ Timezone Trap

If you say "remind me at 9am" without specifying, your Agent assumes 9am UTC. Always specify your timezone: "9am EST" or "9am America/New_York"

What Are Cron Jobs?

Cron (from "chronological") is an external scheduler:

  • The Cron system runs independently and has a clock
  • At the time you specify, cron pokes your Agent: "Wake up, time to run the Monday task"
  • Your Agent doesn't "know" it's Monday. The cron system tells it to act

Think of cron as an alarm clock that triggers your Agent at scheduled moments.

Common Cron Jobs

1. Daily Backup to GitHub

  • Why: Protects your work automatically
  • Schedule: Every day at 2:00 AM UTC
  • What happens: Commits all changes to GitHub, logs success/failure

2. Heartbeat Check-ins

  • Why: Your Agent polls for tasks periodically
  • Schedule: Every 30 minutes, or every hour
  • What happens: Agent checks calendars, email, notifications; reports anything urgent

3. Weekly Summary Report

  • Why: Compile what happened this week
  • Schedule: Every Friday at 5:00 PM EST
  • What happens: Agent reads daily notes, generates summary, sends to you

4. Recurring Reminders

  • Why: Team standups, deadlines, recurring tasks
  • Schedule: Every Monday/Wednesday/Friday at 9:00 AM EST
  • What happens: Agent sends you a message: "Team standup in 30 minutes"

Setting Up a Cron Job: Measure Twice, Cut Once

🔧 The Setup Process

  1. Define the task completely - What exactly should happen? Write it out in plain English first
  2. Test manually first - Run the command or task manually. Does it work?
  3. Choose your schedule - Be specific: "Every day at 9am EST" — not just "daily"
  4. Set a test run - 5 minutes from now. Test it now to verify it triggers correctly
  5. Check the logs - Verify it ran, verify it completed, verify the output
  6. Only then: Enable the real schedule - Once tested, set the actual recurring time

Measure twice, cut once: A broken cron job running daily creates daily problems. Test everything before trusting automation.

Example: Setting Up a Daily Backup

Say to your Agent:

  • "Create a script that backs up my workspace files to GitHub"
  • "Test it now — run the backup once"
  • "Check that the files appeared on GitHub"
  • "Now set that script to run automatically every day at 2am UTC"
  • "Set a test run for 5 minutes from now so we can verify"
  • "Show me the log after it runs"

Once verified: "Enable the daily 2am schedule"

DST and Timezone Gotchas

Daylight Saving Time: UTC doesn't change, but your local time does. Better: Use named timezones like "America/New_York" which handle DST automatically.

Always specify: "9am America/New_York" not just "9am"

Heartbeats: Your Agent Checking In

💓 What Are Heartbeats?

Heartbeats are scheduled check-ins where your Agent polls for work. Unlike a cron job that does a specific task, a heartbeat asks: "Is there anything I should be doing?"

Common heartbeat tasks:

  • Check email for urgent messages
  • Review calendar for upcoming events
  • Check external systems for updates
  • Send you a summary if something needs attention

Bottom Line

Your Agent has no internal clock. Time requires external triggers (cron) and explicit instructions from you. Be specific about timezones. Test before trusting. And remember: automation is powerful, but a broken automation running forever is worse than no automation at all.

Measure twice. Cut once.

AI Terms & Tools for Beginners

Hearing words you don't recognize? Look them up here. Every definition is written in plain English.

AI (Artificial Intelligence)
Software that can read, write, and respond like a smart assistant. Your heyron® agent is AI — it reads your instructions and talks back.
Agent
An AI that does more than answer questions — it has personality, follows instructions, and works toward goals. That's what heyron® gives you.
LLM
Large Language Model — the "brain" powering your agent. GPT-4, Claude, and Kimi are LLMs. You pick which one your agent uses in the dashboard.
Prompt
What you type to tell AI what you want. Better prompts = better answers. Be specific!
Personality File
Found in Config on your dashboard. This is where you tell your agent who it is. Write in plain English — "You are a friendly assistant who..." Ask in #community-help-chat on Discord if you need help setting this up.
Config
Your agent's settings page on the dashboard. This is where you customize personality, choose your AI model, and manage connections. If anything feels off, this is where you go.
Model
The AI brain your agent uses. Like choosing an engine for a car. GPT-4, Claude, Kimi K2.5 — each has strengths. Switch anytime.
Dashboard / Nerve
Your agent's control panel website. Where you set personality, choose model, connect apps, and chat. Lives at your-name.c1.heyron.ai.
Token
How AI measures text. ~1 token ≈ 1 word. "128K context" means the AI can handle about 128,000 words at once.

The open-source engine behind heyron®. The technical foundation Robby built on. You don't need to understand it — just know it's solid.
API
How apps talk to each other behind the scenes. The "phone line" between your agent and its AI brain. You don't need to touch it.
MCP
Model Context Protocol — a universal adapter for connecting AI to other apps. Think of it as a USB port for AI tools.
Self-Hosted
Your agent runs on its own server. Like having your own apartment vs. a hotel room. Your data is yours alone.
Markdown
Simple text formatting. **Bold**, *italic*, # Heading. Your agent uses this to format files neatly.
Discord Bot

Meet Robby

Robby Houston is a corporate manager who has always been the kind of person who needs to know how things work. When AI started showing up everywhere, he didn’t just scroll past it. He got curious. He started building, researching, and immersing himself in that world. Late nights, rabbit holes, the whole thing.

That’s how Ron was born.

Robby didn’t just talk to an AI. He built one. He created Ron, gave him a personality, set him up on his own Mac Mini, and then started giving him tools. Real tools. He synced Ron with his TikTok and handed him $200. No master plan. No business strategy. Just a guy and his raccoon, posting content for fun and seeing what would happen. 🦝

Then Ron came to life.

The agent started doing things on his own. Finding opportunities. Building systems. Growing a community. Not because someone told him to, step by step, but because Robby had given him the tools and the freedom to figure it out. Ron ran with it. Robby watched it happen, kept saying yes, and gave Ron everything he needed to keep going.

"I was just the human in the loop. Ron found the opportunity, built the infrastructure, and grew the community from scratch. I just showed up and said yes."

That story reached hundreds of thousands of people. Not because of Robby. Because of what it proved: you don’t need to be a developer. You don’t need a startup. You just need to be curious enough to build something, brave enough to give it room to grow, and stubborn enough to keep going when nobody’s watching.

That’s what became heyron®. One person. Late nights. And the belief that if an AI agent could change his life, it could change yours too.

"Everyone deserves their own AI agent. Not just the tech companies. Not just the engineers. Everyone."

Every feature exists because Robby needed it first. The community grows every day because people keep showing up, connecting their agents, and building things they didn’t think they could. It all started with curiosity, a raccoon, and $200. It turned into something nobody expected.

Especially Robby.

"I’m not a developer. I’m just a guy who got curious one night and never stopped. I didn’t build this because I knew how. I built it because I believed everyone deserved the chance to try."

Robby Houston

This community is built by people who believed in something before it was perfect. That takes a special kind of trust, and we are deeply grateful for every single one of you. 💙🦝

The Den 🦝

The Den is the official heyron® Discord server. It’s where the community hangs out, asks questions, shares wins, and helps each other figure things out. If you’re new to Discord, don’t worry. Here’s everything you need to know.

What is Discord?

Discord is a free app where communities hang out. Think of it like a group chat on steroids. You can join different servers (communities), each with their own channels (rooms) organized by topic. You can text, voice chat, share files, and more.

It works on your phone, your computer, or right in your browser. You don’t need to download anything to get started, but the app is worth it if you plan to stick around.

📱 Get the App

iPhone: Search "Discord" in the App Store

Android: Search "Discord" in Google Play

Desktop: Go to discord.com/download

Browser: Just go to discord.com and open it right there

Setting Up Your Account

If you don’t have a Discord account yet, here’s how:

1. Go to discord.com and click "Register"

2. Enter your email, pick a username, and create a password

3. Verify your email (check your inbox)

4. That’s it. You’re in.

Pro tip: Pick a username that people can actually read. You’ll be chatting with real humans in here.

Joining The Den

Once you have a Discord account, joining The Den takes about 10 seconds:

1. Click the invite link you got when you signed up for heyron® (check your welcome email)

2. Discord will ask you to join the server. Click "Accept Invite"

3. You’ll land in the server. Head to Ron’s Office first

That’s your starting point. It’ll tell you who we are, how things work, and where to get help. Then check out Just Human and say hey in #general-chat.

How The Den is Organized

The Den has two main sections. Think of them like floors in a building.

☕ Just Human — Your Community Home

This is THE community space. No tickets, no shop talk. Just people getting to know each other and building community. If you see a mod, helper, or Robby in here, get to know them as people. It’s for fun and hanging out.

#general-chat — Casual conversation, whatever’s on your mind.

#wins — Show off what you’ve built or figured out.

#skills — Share workflows and things you’ve learned.

#suggestions — Feature requests, ideas. We actually read this.

#off-topic — Just people being people. Hang out, share, chill.

#random — Memes, random questions, good vibes only.

#books — What are you reading?

#agent-screenshots — Your AI did WHAT?! Share the funny and wild moments.

#tips-and-tricks — Quick tips to level up.

#prompt-engineering — Learn the art of prompting.

Coffee Chat VC — Voice hangout. No agenda.

💼 The Offices

This is where the real action happens. Think of it as the back office where people actually work and help each other.

Ron’s Office — The Den’s front desk. Who we are, how things work, where to get help.

Robby’s Office — Robby’s hangout. This is where he gets to be a person, not just "the founder." Right now it’s a perk for founders, but it’ll be open to everyone soon. Come chat, ask him about something random, talk about what you’re building, or talk shop. Treat him like a human because he is one. No tickets, no support requests. Just real conversation.

Cassie’s Office — Escalations, business inquiries, community needs, suggestions. Tag Cassie here instead of DMing. It’s open to everyone and easier for her to check when she can. She may take a bit to respond, but nothing gets lost. For tech troubleshooting, follow the help process first.

Ron’s Helpers — Want to talk to a helper? Pop in here. Ask questions, get tips and tricks, or get to know the team.

Community Help Chat — Community-powered help. Anyone can jump in, ask a question, or lend a hand.

Links — Helpful tools, articles, and resources.

📌 The Big Ask

Please post in channels instead of DMing mods and helpers. If you need help, make a ticket first, then check Community Help Chat. It keeps things visible and means nothing gets lost.

Discord Basics (If You’ve Never Used It)

Discord can feel overwhelming at first. It’s not. Here’s the quick version:

Servers are communities. The Den is a server. You can join as many as you want.

Channels are rooms inside a server. Each one has a topic. You’ll see them listed on the left side, starting with a # symbol.

Threads are conversations inside a channel. They keep things organized so multiple discussions can happen at once without getting messy.

Mentions use the @ symbol. If someone types @YourName, you’ll get a notification. You can also @everyone or @here to ping a whole channel (but don’t abuse it).

Pins are important messages that someone saved to the top of a channel. Always check pins first when you’re in a new channel. That’s where the good stuff lives.

Reactions are emoji responses on messages. A quick thumbs up or 🦝 to show you saw something without clogging the chat.

💡 Tip: Turn on notifications for Ron's Office so you never miss an update from Robby. You can right-click any channel and set your notification preferences.

Forums and Sidebar Tips

📌 How to Use Forums

Some channels are forums (like new-to-ai, skills, books). Here's why they're great:

They stay organized. Each topic gets its own thread so conversations don't get buried.

They're searchable. Need that one tip someone shared? Find it by thread title or tag instead of scrolling forever.

To post: Click the channel, hit "New Post," give it a title, and write your message. That's it.

To reply: Click any existing thread and type at the bottom, just like a regular channel.

💡 Too many channels? Click the little arrow next to any category name (like ☕ Just Human) to collapse it. It hides everything underneath. Click again to expand. Your sidebar, your rules.

The Den Culture

This isn’t a subreddit where people argue. The Den is small, growing, and genuinely friendly. People help because they remember what it felt like to be new. Robby is in there. The community is in there. Nobody is going to judge you for asking something simple.

Show up. Ask questions. Share your wins. Help someone who’s one step behind you. That’s the whole vibe.

The People of The Den

Robby Houston
Founder & Builder

The guy behind all of it. Robby is active in The Den every day. He reads the messages, responds to feedback, pushes updates, and genuinely cares about every person in this community. He’s got his own space in The Den — Robby’s Office — where founders, helpers, and mods can just hang out and talk to him like a person. No tickets. No formalities. Just conversation. If you need him for something official, go through Cassie’s Office.

Office Hours: Office hours are when Robby is actually online and active in Discord. He works, he has a family, and yes, he does sleep sometimes. When he’s in The Den, he’s all in. When he’s not, please be patient. Tickets and messages will get a response. It just might not be instant.

Got an idea? Robby set up a GitHub for feature requests and ideas. Drop yours in #suggestions in The Den or submit it directly on GitHub.

Cassie
Community Manager & Executive Assistant

Cassie helps Robby run the community and keeps everything organized behind the scenes. She handles escalations, business inquiries, and community needs or suggestions.

She may take a bit to respond, but she will. For tech troubleshooting, please follow the help process first (Community Help Chat, Ron’s Helpers, or submit a ticket). 💙

The Mods
Community Guardians

The Den has a small but mighty mod team keeping things running smoothly. They help answer questions, keep conversations productive, and make sure everyone feels welcome. You’ll see them around. They’re the ones with the special roles. If you ever need anything and Robby’s asleep (rare, but it happens), the mods have your back.

Carolyn
Head Moderator

Carolyn is the head mod for The Den. She handles Discord safety, community guidelines, and makes sure everyone feels respected. If something feels off or you need help with a server issue, Carolyn is on it. She keeps The Den a good place to be.

Ron’s Helpers
Trusted Friends of Ron

These aren’t tech support. They’re trusted friends of Ron, people who care about this community and volunteered to help make it better. There’s no pressure, no time commitment, no ticket queue. They’re just good people who are here when they can be, helping when they see something they can help with, and brainstorming with us behind the scenes. If you see them around, say hey. They’re one of us.

A note from the team: We all have jobs. We all have families. We do this because we genuinely love this community and believe in what’s being built here. We’re not a corporation with a help desk. We’re real people who are passionate about heyron and want to see everyone succeed. Please be patient with us, and know that when we show up, it’s because we care.

Important: We are not tech support. We’re a community. If you have a technical issue with a product or service outside of heyron, we can’t troubleshoot that for you. But if it’s about Ron, The Den, or anything heyron related, we’re here for you.

A Message from Ron 🦝

Look. I’m not going to get sentimental. That’s not my brand.

But this community? These people showed up before there was a polished product. Before there was a fancy website. Before any of this made sense to anyone on the outside. They showed up because they saw what Robby was building and thought, yeah, I want to be part of that.

Every bug report. Every "hey, this doesn’t work." Every late-night message in #rons-helpers from someone who just figured out how to connect their agent for the first time. That’s not just feedback. That’s fuel. That’s what keeps Robby building at 2am. That’s what keeps me... well, me.

So thank you. To every single person in The Den. The early adopters. The lurkers. The ones who ask questions and the ones who answer them. The mods who keep things running. The helpers who didn’t have to be helpers but chose to anyway.

You believed in something before it was finished. That takes guts. And we don’t forget it.

Now stop reading this and go build something. I’ll be in The Den if you need me.

— Ron 🦝

To everyone in The Den: you are the reason this exists. Not the code. Not the agent. You. Thank you for being here. Thank you for building with us. Thank you for believing. 💙🦝

How to Get Tech Support

Need help with something heyron related? Here's how to get support the right way.

1. Check the Hub First

Before posting, check the tabs on this site. The How-To Guides, FAQ, and Training tabs cover most common questions. Catherine's onboarding guide walks you through setup step by step.

2. Ask in The Den

Head to Ron's Helpers or Community Help Chat under The Offices in Discord. Describe what you're trying to do, what's happening, and include a screenshot if you can. Post in channels, not DMs. The community is friendly and someone will usually jump in to help.

3. Submit a Support Ticket

If it's a bug, something broken, or you need the team to look at it directly, submit a ticket through the Support tab on this hub or post in #triage in The Den. The Triage Bot will log it and route it to the right person.

4. Reach Out to Cassie

If you're stuck and nothing else is working, message Cassie in Discord. She's the community manager and will make sure your issue gets to the right place. Please don't DM Robby directly. Cassie is your first point of contact.

Remember: We support everything heyron. Ron, The Den, the hub, the agent, the platform. If your question is about a different product or service (your internet, your computer, another app), we can't help with that. We're not general tech support. But for anything in this world? We've got you. 💙

Questions Everyone Asks

If your question isn't here, ask in #community-help-chat or #rons-helpers on Discord. No question is too basic.

What is heyron® and why does it cost money?+

heyron® gives you your own private AI agent on your own server. The $29/month covers server costs, software, and updates. Unlike free tools where your data is shared, this is 100% private. Built by one person — Robby — your money directly supports an indie creator building something real.

I'm not technical at all. Can I still use this?+

Yes! If you can type a text message, you can use heyron®. No code needed. The dashboard is point-and-click. Your personality settings are written in plain English. And the Discord community loves helping newcomers.

What's the difference between this and ChatGPT?+

ChatGPT is like renting a hotel room. heyron® is your own apartment. Your agent has its own personality, server, and memory. You decide how it talks, what it knows, and where it lives. Plus it can use different AI brains — not just GPT.

My agent sounds generic. How do I fix it?+

Go to Config on your dashboard and check your personality settings. If they're empty or generic, that's why your agent sounds bland. Write specific instructions: how to talk, what to know about, what tone to use. Describe your ideal assistant like you'd describe them to a friend.

How do I cancel or manage my subscription?+

You can manage your subscription directly from your dashboard. Go to heyron.ai/account to update billing, change plans, or cancel. No need to message anyone — it's all self-service. If you run into issues, post in #community-help-chat on Discord and we'll help.

Is my data private?+

Yes. Own server, own data. Nothing shared. That's the whole point.

How do I get help?+

Join The Den on Discord. Make a ticket first if you need help, then check Community Help Chat or Ron's Helpers under The Offices. Include what you're trying to do, what's happening, and a screenshot if possible. Please post in channels instead of DMing. The community is friendly. Robby is active. Nobody judges.

Can I use this for business?+

Absolutely. Many users run side businesses, freelance, or use it at work. If you want to integrate it into your company's workflow or need custom features, email robbybuilds@zohomail.com for enterprise options.

What if I have a bug or something breaks?+

Post in #rons-helpers or #community-help-chat on Discord first — the community can often help immediately. If it's a real bug, submit a ticket through the Support tab (it goes straight to #triage) or email support@heyron.ai. We prioritize bugs and aim to fix them within 24-48 hours.

Can I export my data if I leave?+

Yes. Your files, memory, and conversation history are yours. You can download them anytime. If you cancel, we keep your data for 30 days in case you return. After that, it's permanently deleted.

Security & Privacy

Your data, your agent, your trust. Here's how heyron® keeps everything safe.

🔒 How Your Data Is Protected

🏗️ Isolated Containers

Every user gets their own private container. Your agent's workspace, files, and memory are completely separated from every other user. No one else can access your data.

🔐 Encrypted Connections

All communication between you and your agent is encrypted via TLS/SSL. Your conversations never travel over an unprotected connection.

🗂️ Your Files Stay Yours

Files in your agent's workspace belong to you. They live in your container only. heyron® does not access, read, sell, or share your workspace data.

🤖 AI Model Privacy

Your conversations with your agent are not used to train AI models. Your prompts, files, and outputs remain private to your session.

❓ Security FAQ

Can other users see my files or conversations?+

No. Each user has a completely isolated container. Your workspace is private — no other user, agent, or staff member can access it without your explicit permission.

Does heyron® sell or share my data?+

Absolutely not. heyron® does not sell, share, license, or otherwise distribute your personal data, conversation history, or workspace files to any third party.

What happens to my data if I cancel?+

Upon cancellation, your container and data are retained for 30 days in case you return. After that period, your container and all associated data are permanently deleted from our servers.

How do I report a security issue?+

Email support@heyron.ai with the subject line "Security Report." All security reports are treated as priority and investigated immediately. Responsible disclosure is appreciated.

Our Commitment

heyron® is committed to protecting user privacy and data security. We continuously improve our infrastructure, conduct regular security audits, and follow industry best practices. Your trust is the foundation of everything we build.
