# Pylon: run AI coding agents on your own server

> Pylon listens for webhook and cron events, spins up sandboxed AI coding agents in Docker, and reports results to Telegram or Slack.

Pylon is a self-hosted daemon you run on your own server. When an event arrives--a Sentry alert, a GitHub pull request, a scheduled cron job--Pylon spins up a sandboxed AI agent in Docker, hands it your codebase, and sends the result back to your chat channel. You stay in control: approve before the agent runs, review the output, and keep your code on your own infrastructure.

## How Pylon works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Pylon">
    Download the binary with a single `curl` command and run `pylon setup` to configure your channel and AI agent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Construct a pipeline">
    Use `pylon construct` to define what triggers your pipeline (webhook or cron), which AI agent handles it, and where results are sent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the daemon">
    Run `pylon start` to power up all your pipelines. Pylon listens on a configurable port and waits for events.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive results in chat">
    When a trigger fires, Pylon can ask for your approval first, then runs the agent and posts the output directly to your Telegram or Slack channel.
  </Step>
</Steps>
