For Founders
The AI Co-Founder Who Never Sleeps
How founders use Hermes to manage operations, customer support, and automate workflows.
Founders wear every hat, and context-switching is the tax. The problem with a stateless assistant is that it never accumulates the knowledge of your business — your customers, your metrics, your decisions — so it stays a glorified search box. Hermes remembers across sessions, so it becomes an operator that actually knows your company.
Run it on a small server and reach it from your phone over Telegram or WhatsApp: morning briefings, investor-update drafts, inbox triage, and recurring checks happen on a schedule without you babysitting a terminal. The cost stays predictable because you control the model and hosting.

Popular Use Cases for Founders
What Hermes does for Founders
An operator that knows your business
Persistent memory of customers, metrics, and decisions means the agent gets more useful the longer you use it, instead of resetting every chat.
Always-on from your phone
Reach Hermes over Telegram, WhatsApp, or Slack for briefings and approvals without opening a laptop.
Scheduled proactivity
Cron jobs turn the agent from reactive to proactive — daily digests, monitoring, and reminders run on their own.
Frequently asked questions
Is Hermes useful for a non-technical founder?
Yes — the managed FlyHermes option removes the setup, and you interact through plain messaging apps. Self-hosting is there if you later want full control.
Will my business data stay private?
Self-hosted with a local or chosen model, conversation history stays on your infrastructure rather than a third-party cloud, which matters for sensitive company data.
Do I have to self-host Hermes?
No. Hermes is open source and self-hostable for full control, but if you'd rather not run a server, the managed FlyHermes option deploys it for you in about a minute. You keep the same agent, memory, and skills either way.
