Hermes

A personal assistant agent, run privately by one person.

Hermes is a self-hosted assistant that its owner runs on their own hardware. It is not a product, not a service, and not available to sign up for. It has exactly one user: its operator.

What it does

• Summarises the day's calendar and flags scheduling conflicts.
• Reads incoming mail to surface what needs attention, and files or labels the rest.
• Prepares draft replies for the operator to review and send manually.
• Creates and updates calendar events on the operator's request.

Google account access

Hermes connects to its operator's own Google account using OAuth. It never accesses anyone else's account, and it cannot — there is no sign-up, no multi-user mode, and no shared deployment.

Notably, Hermes is not granted permission to send email on the operator's behalf. It prepares drafts; a human sends them. It also cannot permanently delete mail or change mail settings such as filters or forwarding.
