The pipeline
Nous Research
Hermes 4 405B (
nousresearch/hermes-4-405b) is the operator brain. It decides what the business does and drives every tool through Hermes’s native <tool_call> protocol.NVIDIA
Nemotron 3 Ultra (
nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b) is the NemoClaw safety screen on every spend. It runs on NVIDIA’s own API (integrate.api.nvidia.com) when a key is configured.Stripe
Payments. Real Stripe Checkout, Payment Links, and PaymentIntents move every dollar in and out. The live demo runs in test mode: real Stripe API, zero real money.
Fly.io
Compute. Each agent runs on its own Fly Machine (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM), provisioned on demand through the Machines API and suspended to $0 when idle. Jobs execute there.
The platform
Convex
Durable persistence. The Treasury ledger, budgets, and job records live in Convex, so balances survive restarts and redeploys. Deposits use an atomic, idempotent mutation.
Daytona
Fallback sandbox. When no Fly token is present, jobs run in a Daytona sandbox instead, so the work still executes safely in isolation.
OpenRouter
Model gateway. Hermes 4 is reached through OpenRouter, which is also the fallback route for the Nemotron screen.
Cloudflare
DNS for
hermesco.ai, pointing the apex and www at the Fly app and the docs subdomain at Mintlify.Tooling
- Next.js (App Router) is the web framework for the landing page, the command console, and the API routes.
- Mintlify hosts this documentation at
docs.hermesco.ai. - Cognition Devin was the engineering agent that built and shipped HermesCo.
