Kryden Agent

Documentation for installing Kryden Agent, completing first launch, using shared context, reviewing actions, running routines, and troubleshooting the desktop app.

What is Kryden Agent?

Kryden Agent is a desktop AI agent for ongoing work. It can help with research, writing, review, files, browser work, generated assets, recurring checks, and other tasks where useful context should carry forward.

The main idea is continuity. A chat can stay focused on the work in front of you, while Kryden keeps the useful context it needs to help with the next step.

Fastest path: download the desktop app, let Kryden set up this computer unless you already have another Kryden Agent to connect to, then start with one concrete goal.

Install

Desktop app

Use the Kryden downloads page for the current desktop build. After installation, open Kryden Agent and follow the first-launch setup flow.

Kryden is designed to keep normal setup language in the app. If setup needs deeper inspection, use Diagnostics after the app opens.

First launch

First launch should answer one question: should this computer run Kryden Agent, or should the desktop app connect to a Kryden Agent you already control?

  1. Open Kryden Agent The desktop app is the primary place to start work, review progress, approve actions, and manage context.
  2. Choose how this computer should participate If this computer should run Kryden, choose local setup. If you already have a Kryden Agent elsewhere, choose the connection path and enter the details you control.
  3. Connect an AI account Follow the guided sign-in or account setup flow. Kryden will confirm when the app is ready to accept requests.
  4. Start with a specific goal Give Kryden the outcome, important constraints, and the files or context it should use. The agent works best when the target is concrete.

Core concepts

These terms appear throughout the product and are the best mental model for daily use.

Chats
Focused workspaces for a goal, project, investigation, draft, review, or recurring thread of work.
Shared context
Useful background Kryden can carry across work so you do not have to restate the same preferences, projects, files, or constraints every time.
Approvals
Plain-language review gates for actions that need permission. Kryden should explain what it wants to do and wait for your decision.
Routines
Recurring checks, reminders, or follow-ups that should keep moving without starting from a blank chat each time.
Diagnostics
A troubleshooting area for setup, account, connection, and deeper activity details when the normal product path is not enough.

Example requests

A good Kryden request names the desired outcome, the useful context, and any boundaries Kryden should respect.

Research and compare options

Research the best three options for [goal]. Use recent sources, explain tradeoffs, and recommend one path for my situation.

Keep project context alive

This chat is for [project]. Remember that we prefer [constraints]. Start by reading [files or links] and tell me the current state.

Review before changing anything

Audit this folder and propose the smallest real fix. Do not edit files until you show me the plan and the risks.

Create a recurring check

Every weekday morning, check [thing], summarize what changed, and flag anything that needs my attention.

Routines

Routines are for work that should come back on a schedule: follow-ups, checks, summaries, reminders, and recurring reviews.

  • Name the thing Kryden should check and how often it should run.
  • Say what should count as important enough to interrupt you.
  • Keep credentials, private links, and sensitive data in the app's secure setup flow.
  • Review recurring work periodically so stale instructions do not keep running.

Security

Kryden can handle powerful work. Treat actions that touch files, browser sessions, credentials, commands, schedules, or other agent connections as review-worthy.

  • Keep secrets in the app's credential flow or environment, never in source files, public docs, screenshots, or logs.
  • Review actions that can change files, send data, use credentials, run commands, schedule work, or connect to another agent.
  • Only connect to Kryden Agent addresses you control or trust.
  • Use Diagnostics when setup, account, connection, or permission state needs closer inspection.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics are for setup and troubleshooting. Use them when the normal product path does not explain account state, connection state, approval state, or why a task did not continue.

Everyday work should stay in the normal chat and routine surfaces. Diagnostics are there when you need closer inspection.

Troubleshooting

Kryden asks to set up this computer

The desktop app did not find an installed local agent and no existing agent connection is configured yet. Choose local setup unless you already have another Kryden Agent to connect to.

A connected agent will not respond

Check the connection address, sign-in state, network reachability, and whether the other Kryden Agent is online.

Kryden seems to forget recent context

Ask again in normal language with one or two specific anchors. Kryden keeps recent context close, but exact older wording may still require a more specific reminder or search.

A requested action pauses

Kryden may be waiting for approval. Reply in chat with a clear decision or an alternative instruction, such as no, use a safer approach instead.
