To the full case study →Hermes Agent is an open-source framework for autonomous AI agents originally developed by Nous Research. It lets companies build AI agents that complete complex tasks on their own – from answering customer enquiries to data processing and full process automation. Unlike simple chatbots, Hermes agents can access company data, make decisions and take actions in connected systems.
Hermes Agent offers three decisive advantages: full data control (self-hosting or your own cloud, no US dependency like ChatGPT Enterprise), real agent capabilities (autonomous decision-making, not just simple workflows like n8n/Zapier) and no vendor lock-in (open source – you keep the code and the control). For companies that care about GDPR compliance and data sovereignty, Hermes Agent is the ideal choice.
Yes, with proper implementation. GDPR compliance is the standard at Hermes Agency, not an option. We deploy Hermes Agent on servers in Germany or the EU, sign a data-processing agreement (DPA) and implement encryption, audit logging and role-based access controls. On request, a fully self-hosted deployment is possible too – your data never leaves your company. We have developed a dedicated security concept for running Hermes Agent in business.
Our Hermes Agent projects typically start at €3,000–8,000 for implementation, followed by a monthly operations and optimisation retainer. The exact price depends on the scope of the agents, the number of integrations (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Notion, etc.) and the chosen deployment model (cloud vs. self-hosted). We always work on a fixed project price – no hourly surprises. Use our ROI calculator for an initial estimate.
Typically your first Hermes agent is live in 2–4 weeks. We use the first week for analysis and design. In weeks 2–4 we build, integrate and test the agent with real data. Then comes go-live with 24/7 monitoring. Our clients usually see measurable results within the first two weeks after go-live. We offer a 90-day ROI guarantee.
No. You don’t need your own developers or AI experts. Hermes Agency handles the entire technical Hermes Agent implementation, custom-skill development, API integration and ongoing maintenance. Your team simply uses the agent day to day – we train them thoroughly. A normal email address is all you need to work with us.
The concerns are valid and we take them seriously. Companies have in the past restricted the uncontrolled use of autonomous agents – the problem is never the technology, but missing governance. The key is professional, controlled implementation. Hermes Agency runs Hermes Agent in a secure sandbox environment, with role-based access controls, audit logging and strict network isolation. Our architecture is designed specifically for secure business use.
Hermes Agent integrates with virtually any system that has an API or data interface. Our most common integrations: HubSpot, Pipedrive, Notion, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zendesk, Freshdesk, Shopify, WooCommerce, Personio, Airtable, Google Workspace and many more. With custom skills we can also connect proprietary systems and legacy software. Just ask us – we have solved every integration so far.
