Hermes

What it does

Most assistants wait to be asked. Hermes runs on a background heartbeat that checks in on its own schedule, reads what's changed, and decides what's worth surfacing, rather than sitting idle until prompted. Everything happens inside a single Telegram thread: text or voice in, a plain-language update out, with a persistent memory that carries context across sessions instead of starting fresh each time.

MyDay

Hermes populates MyDay, a small dashboard view that pulls together the day's priorities in one place rather than scattered across chat history.

Keeping cost sane

Hermes routes requests to different models depending on the job: a stronger model for anything quality-sensitive, and a cheaper, lower-effort model for scheduled background checks that don't need the same ceiling. That split keeps the always-on parts of the system affordable without touching response quality where it matters.
