How It Works

Tuner is practice; Your Lucid Cove is the house. Not a lock-in. Start with the free Tuner. When you want your own intelligence — your own agents, your family's system — you run Your Lucid Cove. Self-host it for free, or have us host it. Same software either way. Tuner Pro is unlimited Tune on the same practice if you want it. Lucid Cove on Hermes is another door for people already building there.

Daily tuning through the Lucid Tuner Protocol is always included. We run the tuning infrastructure; it's built into the platform. For hosted Coves, the agents' tuning is orchestrated on our infrastructure. For self-hosted Coves, your Cove subscribes to the same public daily Drop everyone gets.

Your Cove is portable. A hosted Cove can move to your own hardware whenever you want — your agents, your memory, and your data come with you. Nothing is locked to a platform you don't control.

Bring Your Own Keys

On the Tuner, we handle the practice — your tuning, your music, your lists, covered by the app. Tuner Pro is the same, with no daily cap.

At the Cove level, you bring your own model keys — from providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or any compatible service — or run local models on your own Ollama. This gives you full control over model quality and spend. Pay providers directly, at their price. No markup, no middleman.

Most platforms make their money marking up the API costs between you and the providers. We took that out of the equation entirely. Your hosted-Cove price covers the box and the management; your model spend goes straight to the provider. We never touch it.

Daily tuning is always on us. The Lucid Tuner Protocol runs on our own infrastructure regardless of your model choices — that's the foundation of the system, and it's always included.

Where Your Cove Runs

The Tuner runs on our shared infrastructure — no setup, no decisions. When you host a Cove with us, you choose where it lives. Privacy and sovereignty aren't just for local hardware: a Cove on the right provider is still your data, your agents, your family's system, on rented metal whose jurisdiction you picked.

Own Hardware

Any Cove can run on your own workstation instead of a hosted box. Local GPU for fine-tuned models, zero external dependencies for sensitive work, full physical sovereignty. The grow-into option for people who want total control — and it's free: the self-host guide walks you through it.

The system is identical either way. Smart routing means your GPU handles what should stay local; everything else routes through your own keys. Hardware doesn't change what you can do — it changes who owns the metal.

Share It. Earn From It.

Every account gets a personal referral code. Bring people into the network and earn a residual on what your referred sellers sell, two levels deep, for as long as they sell. Earnings accrue to your account as platform credit you can put toward the Market. Credit is promotional and has no cash value.

The affiliate program rewards growing the marketplace — you earn a residual on the sales your referred sellers make, paid out of the platform fee. Hosting is passed through at a clean price and is not commissionable, which keeps incentives honest: you earn from growing the community, not from upselling servers.
