Persistent AI teammate

Hermes Agent — an AI teammate that remembers how you work

We set up Hermes Agent on infrastructure you control, connect the tools your team already uses, and turn one recurring workflow into a useful assistant that can learn, remember, and keep working.

Australian-first implementation. Clear scope. Plain-English handover.

We run our own businesses on this

We are not an agency that read about AI in a newsletter. We build and operate our own brands on the exact automation, chat, and sites we set up for you — so when we say it works, it's because it works for us first.

Hermes Agent, set up for useful work

Hermes is built for ongoing work rather than one-off prompts. We help you shape that capability around a narrow, useful first workflow — with sensible access and a handover your team can actually follow.

01

Choose the job

We find one recurring task with a clear finish line and enough repetition to justify an agent.

02

Install it safely

We set up Hermes where you control it, keep access narrow, and configure the model and tools it actually needs.

03

Teach the workflow

We give the agent the context, skills, examples, and boundaries needed to do useful work consistently.

04

Hand it over

You get a working first workflow, clear operating notes, and a simple path to add more later.

Good first jobs

Start with one real workflow that has a clear finish line. Add more once the first one is reliable.

Research briefs and recurring market or competitor checks
Inbox triage, summaries, and follow-up preparation
Weekly reporting assembled from the tools you already use
Repeatable content and operations workflows with human approval where it matters

What we hand over

Installation on a client-controlled machine, VPS, or cloud environment
Model/provider and account configuration for the agreed use case
Channels, tools, skills, memory, and permissions configured together
Plain-English operating notes and a walkthrough for your team

Hermes Agent is built by Nous Research. Cheeky Panda is an independent implementation and setup service, not Nous Research.

Common questions

What is Hermes Agent? +

Hermes Agent is an AI agent from Nous Research that can work through a CLI, messaging gateway, desktop app, and other interfaces. It can remember context across sessions, build skills from experience, use tools, and delegate work to other agents.

What does Cheeky Panda do? +

We install and configure Hermes around one useful business workflow. That can include the runtime setup, model and provider configuration, relevant channels, tools, skills, permissions, and a plain-English handover. We start with the workflow, not a generic chatbot demo.

Can Hermes work in our existing channels? +

Hermes supports a wide range of messaging and communication channels, but the right setup depends on your account, provider, and workflow. We confirm the exact channels and access requirements before implementation.

Do we own the setup? +

Yes. We prefer client-controlled infrastructure and document what was installed, what access it has, and how to operate it. Ongoing support is optional rather than a hidden dependency.

How quickly can we start? +

After a short scoping call, we identify one workflow with a clear result and confirm the access needed. Delivery time depends on the channels and integrations involved; we give you a specific scope and timeline before starting.
