Short answer

How do I control who hears my private audio feeds?

Tell your agent to grant or revoke access for specific users. It handles the permission changes in Hiro.fm and can even add new listeners to your contact list. You get full control over your audience via your chat interface.

Access control outcomes.

Where permissions land.

Your agent handles the heavy lifting of permission management.

PERMISSION

New listener access

The AI uses grant_access to let a specific person into your private feed. You just name the user.

SECURITY

Revoking permissions

If someone shouldn't be listening anymore, tell your agent to remove them. It pulls their permission immediately.

CONTACTS

Managing your list

The AI can add new people to your roster using create_contact. This keeps your listener list updated.

HUMAN

Manual overrides

You still handle the actual audio content and feed creation. The AI only manages the gates and the guest list.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request access changes.

The AI translates your natural language requests into direct Hiro.fm commands.

  1. Identify the user

    Your agent looks up the person you want to manage within your Hiro.fm account.

    create_contact

  2. Grant entry

    The AI updates the feed settings to allow the specified user to listen.

    grant_access

  3. Remove access

    When you tell the agent to kick someone off, it pulls their permission instantly.

    revoke_access

  4. Confirm status

    The agent verifies the change was successful so you know the feed is secure.
