Quick Start
Everything to do right after adding Heidrun AI Media to your group. The whole setup takes about five minutes.
1. Add the bot to your group
Open your group → Add members → search @HeidrunAIMedia_bot → add it.
2. Promote it to admin
This step is not optional. Telegram hides regular group messages from bots: without admin rights the bot only sees its own commands, so XP tracking, auto-smash link detection and meme reactions silently stop working.
Group settings → Administrators → Add admin → pick the bot. The rights it uses:
- Send messages, photos and videos — to post generations and alerts
- Delete messages — to clean up its own expired prompts (optional)
No other permission is needed. The bot never needs to ban, pin or invite.
3. Get credits
A new group starts at 0 credits, and generations are paid in credits. Open /begin → 💰 Credits & Balance → Purchase Credits, pay in USDC, then submit your transaction hash with /submit_hash <tx_hash>.
Full rates and per-generation costs: Credits & Pricing. Check the balance any time with /credits.
4. Give the bot your project's identity
This is what turns a generic bot into your project's bot. From /begin → ⚙️ Settings:
| Do this | Why |
|---|---|
| 🛠️ Meme Config | Write a base prompt describing your mascot/brand — every /meme will follow it |
| ➕ New Meme Command | Create branded commands like /heidrun with their own reference image |
| 💧 Watermark Config | Keep the default watermark, remove it (100 credits) or use your own logo (200 credits) |
| 🎙️ Voice Config | Pick, clone or generate the voice used by /tts and /voiceover |
5. Turn on your on-chain alerts
Type /alert_config, paste your token address (the chain is detected automatically), enable Buy alerts, then press ▶️ Start. Buys appear in the group within ~30 seconds.
Burn and marketing-wallet alerts are optional one-time unlocks (100 and 50 credits). Full guide: Buy / Burn / MW Alerts.

Configure from DM
Everything above also works in a private chat with the bot — it asks which of your groups you want to configure. Handy when you don't want setup messages in the group.
