01In practice

What the setup gives your team

Hermes is built to remember and to turn repeated tasks into skills. We set up both around your team's recurring jobs.

Seeded memory

We give it what it needs to know about your team, clients and processes, so it starts with that context.

Skills for your jobs

Your recurring tasks are written as skills and schedules, so it runs them without being asked.

Secured before it starts

We lock down access, secrets and spend before it reads any company email.

Monitored and backed up

It stays on, with monitoring and backups, on Qoren or your own server.
