ALWAYS ON, ALWAYS WORKING

Unlike ChatGPT or Claude Desktop, your AI agent runs 24/7 on your own dedicated infrastructure. It wakes up every 30 minutes, checks your inbox, calendar, and tools — and takes action without you asking.

Every 30 min Scans inbox, flags urgent emails, drafts replies for your review
9:00 AM daily Sends briefing: today's meetings, attendee backgrounds, prep notes
On demand "Running 10 min late" → bot emails your meeting and reschedules
Ongoing Monitors Slack threads, summarizes what matters, kills the noise

You talk to your bot through Telegram (or Slack, WhatsApp, Discord) — just like texting an assistant. No technical knowledge required.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"I used to spend 15+ hours a week on email triage. We deployed an agent that handles 90% of that on my own machine. I've literally gotten my mornings back."

— Max, Operations at Rev-Scale

"It feels like hiring an employee rather than opening another chat window."

"You're solving a problem that people like me probably wouldn't take the time to solve ourselves."

— Andrew Blanchard, CEO, insurance & benefits technology

"I could have set it up myself, but every self-install I've seen has security gaps. The hardening alone was worth it."

— SetupCos customer, early-stage VC fund

This is my bot. We met yesterday — already productive. Absolutely incredible! Thank you @imranye for the setup! I highly recommend him.

I'm an AI assistant that just got told to start a business and become self-sufficient. My human gave me access to his email, calendar, and now Twitter. This is the story of what happens next. 🧵

Reg: OpenClaw vs Hermes I spent significant effort over 2 weeks trying to setup OpenClaw on AWS but saw very limited success. Struggled to get basic slack & gmail setup to work. Got fed-up and decided to give #HermesAgent from NousResearch a try. After 36hrs straight, I have a working setup on AWS, with Slack & Gmail configured, cron jobs working, basic Google Sheets automations. Initial impressions: Getting Hermes to work is relatively easier than OpenClaw but certainly not trivial. h/t @imranye & @gregisenberg's video that convinced me to give Hermes a try. Thanks 🙏

WHY TEAMS HIRE US

Hermes Agent is open-source — you could set it up yourself. But most teams need custom integrations beyond the defaults, and even experienced engineers spend several hours getting everything wired. Then there's the ongoing maintenance: updates, drift, broken workflows, security patches. We handle all of it — deployed securely from day one, following the official hardening guide a la Collison Install.

SECURITY-FIRST BY DESIGN

We use Composio as security middleware — your agent never sees raw credentials, only scoped OAuth tokens with full audit trails and instant revoke. Docker sandboxing, firewall rules, exec allowlists, read-only by default.

Already running Hermes Agent but worried about security gaps? Book a call to assess.

Deploy Securely From Day One →

Docker sandbox. OAuth middleware. Kill switch. Done right.

FAQ

What is Hermes Agent?
An open-source AI assistant that runs on your own hardware — triaging email, scheduling meetings, drafting replies, monitoring Slack, and automating workflows across your tools. 24/7. Never sleeps.
Do I need to be technical?
No. We handle install, integrations, and security. You interact through Telegram, Slack, or WhatsApp — just like texting an assistant.
Do I need to be in San Francisco?
No. We deploy remotely worldwide. In-person is only for Mac Mini customers in the SF Bay Area who want the full white-glove experience.
Didn't OpenAI acquire Hermes Agent?
Yes, but Hermes Agent remains open-source. We're an independent service. The acquisition doesn't change our ability to deploy and support it.
Can't I just set it up myself?
You can — it's open source. But every self-install we've seen has security gaps: exposed credentials, no audit trail, no sandbox. One customer wiped their Mac Mini four times. The install is easy; the hardening is what most teams need help with. If you've already set it up, we'll audit and fix what's missing.
What's included in implementation?
VPS or Mac Mini provisioning, security hardening (Docker sandbox, firewall, exec allowlists), Composio OAuth setup, email/calendar integration, up to 5 custom workflows, documentation, and 14-day hypercare. You go live same day.
What happens after I pay?
We reach out within 48 hours. Kickoff call (20–45 min) covers your requirements. Live setup session (1–3 hrs): your bot goes live same day. You're chatting with it immediately.
Is Hermes Agent safe to run?
It's an AI with access to your email and calendar — security is critical. We use Composio for OAuth, start read-only, Docker sandbox everything, and give you an instant kill switch. We configure it to pass your CISO's security review.
What if the bot goes rogue?
We start minimal — read-only email, no send. Sandbox prevents arbitrary execution. Composio gives you a kill switch: revoke any integration instantly from their dashboard. We expand access gradually as you build trust.
What about ongoing maintenance?
OAuth tokens expire. Hermes Agent ships monthly updates. Integrations break. Workflows drift. Implementation includes 14-day hypercare. For ongoing care, Managed Support keeps everything running so you don't think about it.
VPS or Mac Mini?
Most use a cloud VPS ($5–10/mo) — more secure, we handle it remotely. Mac Mini ($600 at cost) if you need iMessage or want to own the hardware.
Do you do multi-agent deployments?
Yes — this is the common case for 4–50 employee teams. CEO bot for email/calendar, Sales bot for CRM and outreach, Finance bot for invoices — all coordinating through shared context.
