HLA – The AI Assistant for Your ARK Server

HLA is more than a bot – it is a real local LLM, deeply integrated into the cluster. It answers questions, finds wild dinos, executes admin functions, and helps you in real time.

HLA runs as its own instance directly in the cluster (llama.cpp) and uses the cluster's shared knowledge: maps, rates, rules, features, and offerings – always up to date with the website.

🤖 What HLA Can Do

• Answer questions: About maps, rates, rules, features, and how to join the cluster.
• Find wild dinos: HLA searches your current map live for a specific creature and reports level, gender, and coordinates of concrete wild spawns.
• Run admin functions: Handles tasks directly in the cluster environment.
• Real-time help: Support exactly when you need it in the game or on the server.

💬 How to Reach HLA

HLA is available through two channels:

• In-game chat: Start HLA directly from the game with the command /hla start <mapname>.
• Discord: Use HLA in our Discord community.
