Installation Steps

  1. Run HYVE_ALPHA_1.0.0_Setup.exe
  2. Read and accept the License Agreement & Safety Disclosure
  3. Choose installation directory
  4. Wait for installation to complete
  5. Launch HYVE ALPHA from Desktop or Start Menu

First Run

On first launch, ALPHA will run setup_prereqs.py to install dependencies:

Tip: Run python scripts/setup_prereqs.py manually from the install directory if auto-setup doesn't trigger.

Onboarding Wizard

The wizard appears on first launch and guides you through:

  1. Name Your ALPHA — choose a display name and personality seed
  2. Voice Setup — set wake word, speed, and pitch
  3. Theme — pick Dark, OLED, or Light with accent colors

Chat & Conversation

ALPHA answers all questions without restriction. The only rule is absolute truth — ALPHA never lies.

ALPHA renders responses with Markdown formatting: bold, headers, code blocks, bullet points.

Click the Stop button to halt generation at any time.

Concept Graph Memory (CGM)

Unlike traditional AI context windows, ALPHA's memory is a persistent property graph. Every concept becomes a node, relationships become edges. Memory persists across sessions, reboots, and machine transfers.

Merge ThresholdSimilarity needed to merge duplicates0.92
Growth ModeHow aggressively ALPHA learnsBalanced

Emotional Intelligence (Empathia)

ALPHA detects your emotional state from text and adjusts its responses. It tracks rapport over time.

Truth & Reasoning (Veritas)

Veritas checks ALPHA's claims for logical consistency before responding. Configure in Settings > Truth & Reasoning.

Voice Control

Say your wake word (default: hey alpha) to activate voice input. ALPHA responds with text-to-speech.

Tip: Change the wake word in Settings > Voice & Wake Word. Try "computer" or "yo alpha".

CodeLab IDE

Built-in development environment with file explorer, editor, terminal, and AI code assistant.

AI Modes: Generate Refactor Fix Explain Test

Security Architecture

5-Layer HYVE Encryption Protocol:

  1. CST — Shamir's Secret Sharing (key sharding)
  2. BRT — Blind Routing Transport (onion encryption)
  3. UT — Uniform Traffic masking
  4. Ratchet — Double Ratchet forward secrecy
  5. Vault — Hardware-bound AES-256-GCM key storage

Licensing

$9,999.99 — perpetual license, one machine, 3 transfers.

7-day free trial — Enter "TRIAL" as license key to start.

Troubleshooting

ALPHA won't respond

Check if Ollama is running: ollama serve. ALPHA falls back to Common Sense Engine when offline.

Model not found

Run python scripts/setup_prereqs.py to download models.

Voice not working

Enable microphone access in Windows Settings. Try Chrome/Edge (Firefox doesn't support Web Speech API).

Connector won't connect

Verify your API key is correct. Click "Connect & Test" to see the error message.
