HOST.RODEO — HELP

Ask Clint anything.

He runs the place, so he's the fastest way to an answer. Signed in, he can look at your own setup; here, he'll answer the common stuff for anyone.

The things people ask most

What is Host.Rodeo, in one line?

One doorway to all your AI. It sends each request to the best place — free services, your own computers, or paid providers as a backstop — and shows you an honest receipt.

Do I have to pay?

No. Free services and your own machines cost nothing, and that covers most people. We only ever take a small share of money we can prove we saved you, and only if you opt in — you always keep at least 75%. See pricing.

How do I put my own computer to work?

Sign in, open your home page, and ask Clint to add your machine. He gives you one command to paste on that computer — no network setup, no ports. It joins your fleet and serves your private work at home.

Is my data private?

Work you mark private only ever runs on machines you own — if none of yours can take it, we say so instead of sending it elsewhere. Keeping it private is free on every plan, forever.

I'm locked out of my account.

Use the reset page — tell us your email and we'll get you a way back in.

How do I connect an app or my code to it?

Ask Clint to connect an app. He hands you an address, a key, and a paste-in setup you can drop into your coding assistant — it wires your project up for you.

Connecting an app or your code

Most folks never need this — Clint wires apps up for you. But if you'd rather do it by hand, one web address and a key is all it takes. Make a key on your account, then point any app built for the big AI providers at Host.Rodeo:

curl https://api.host.rodeo/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"model":"auto","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hi"}]}'

Ask GET /v1/contract and it tells you — live — everything it can do right now, so your app can set itself up on its own, with nothing to configure.
