Overview
Executive Summary
End-to-End Automation
Hermes connects any AI model to your existing tools — Slack, Gmail, GitHub, Notion, Jira — and executes multi-step workflows autonomously. From drafting emails to shipping code, it handles the full pipeline without human intervention.
24/7 AI Workforce
Agents run around the clock on Telegram, Discord, Slack, or API. They never sleep, never forget context, and improve over time through a persistent skills system that learns from every interaction.
Your Data Stays Yours
Fully self-hosted on your infrastructure. No data leaves your environment. Supports local models, private API keys, and credential pooling across multiple providers for maximum security and cost control.
Measurable ROI
Industry benchmarks show 171% average ROI from agentic AI deployments. Hermes delivers real cost savings from day one — automating repetitive tasks that consume 10-15 hours per employee per week.
Pain Points
The Problem We Solve
Manual Repetitive Work
Employees spend 10-15 hours per week on tasks that could be automated: email triage, report generation, data entry, scheduling, and status updates.
Disconnected Tools
Data scattered across 5+ tools with no single source of truth. Teams waste hours copying information between Slack, email, project trackers, and docs.
No Governance or Audit Trail
Automated workflows run without visibility. No logging, no accountability, no way to trace what happened or why a decision was made.
Unclear AI ROI
Companies invest in AI tools but can't measure impact. Generic chatbots add noise, not value. There's no structured way to connect AI to real business processes.

Architecture
How It All Works Together
Architecture
Architecture — How It Works
AI Model Layer (The Engine)
Your choice of any AI model. OpenRouter routes requests to the best model for each task. Supports Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, and local models. Credential pooling rotates across multiple API keys automatically.
Hermes Gateway (The Orchestrator)
The central brain that routes tasks, manages agents, and orchestrates multi-step workflows. Runs on CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, or API. Includes context compression, session management, and security enforcement.
Skills Layer — 900+ Capabilities
Reusable skill documents that encode procedures, workflows, and domain knowledge. Skills accumulate over time — the agent learns from corrections, discovers new workflows, and persists them for future use.
Your Tools & Data
Connects to Slack, Gmail, GitHub, Google Drive, Jira, Notion, Airtable, Linear, and 50+ more. MCP server integration for custom tools. Full API access via webhooks and cron scheduling.
