Tell
Give Randal the outcome, not a perfect prompt.
Start in chat, Discord, HTTP, or a schedule. Randal turns the request into a bounded run with checkpoints and visible next steps.
Randal is not just a chat surface. It is an operating loop for useful AI work: memory, schedules, scoped credentials, channels, dynamic workers, and checkpoints that keep long tasks reviewable.

Tell
Start in chat, Discord, HTTP, or a schedule. Randal turns the request into a bounded run with checkpoints and visible next steps.
Trust
Source-controlled config, scoped credentials, visible memory, and stop/context controls keep the agent understandable while it works.
See
Run output, job history, memory notes, and scheduler events stay available so future work starts warmer than the last run.
Core benefits
01 / Loop discipline
Randal splits long-running agent work into loops with clear checkpoints, so progress can be reviewed, resumed, or stopped before context gets messy.
02 / Memory
Project memory keeps useful decisions, outcomes, run notes, and lessons searchable across future sessions without replacing source control or human review.
03 / Real channels
Discord and HTTP are practical paths today. Voice is beta, and the adapter model gives teams a place to connect their own surfaces carefully.
04 / Schedules
Cron jobs, one-shot reminders, and heartbeat wake items can run briefings, queue sweeps, checks, and follow-ups without keeping a browser session open.
05 / Dynamic workers
The conductor can dispatch scoped workers for research, implementation, debugging, or review while keeping the overall loop small enough to understand.
06 / Model flexibility
Bring your own model/provider keys and choose the model path that fits the work. Randal does not need model billing bundled into the product to be useful.
07 / Scoped credentials
Credentials can be scoped by service and task so agents get the access they need for a run, not a blanket promise that every action should be automatic.
08 / Hosted or self-hosted
Self-host Randal as free OSS when you want control. Use Randal Cloud at $29 per seat per month when you want a hosted single Randal. BYO model keys stay direct, with no inference markup.
Objections
No. Chat is the easiest way to start work, but the product value is the loop: sessions, checkpoints, memory, schedules, credentials, workers, and reviewable outcomes.
No. This milestone keeps integrations truthful: current channel paths and built-in Tavily, Image, Video, and Notion connectors are shown; unsupported cards stay hidden.
Yes. Local/self-host is first-class. Cloud is an operated path for teams that want the same core loop without maintaining the runtime themselves.
Operating paths
Choose the operations model that fits the team. The core loop stays the same.
Self-host
Run the open-source harness yourself, operate the dependencies, and bring your own provider keys.
Deployment docsRandal Cloud
Use the hosted path when you want Hassion Studio to operate one always-on Randal for you.

Self-host for free/OSS control, or use Cloud for a hosted always-on Randal at $29 per seat per month. Model keys remain BYO, and Randal does not mark up inference.
