Shared community memory
Hermes remembers context across conversations, contributions, and decisions so your community does not start from zero every time.
Community AI (Hermes)
Hermes is the community AI product I build for clients: a shared agent with memory, contributions, and governance controls that helps communities think, decide, and act together.
Why Hermes
Benefits
Governance-ready by design
Built to integrate with Discuss, patches, and contribution workflows so AI participation stays accountable to human governance.
Teach, share, watch, control
Community stewards can teach Hermes, share what it knows, watch how it responds, and set boundaries on what it may do.
Deploy on your terms
From pilot chat to full agent with memory graph and role overlays, scoped to your community's needs and risk profile.
Product
Features
Hermes is not a generic chatbot bolted onto a website. It is community infrastructure: an agent that participates inside your governance stack.
- Chat interface – accessible conversation for members, stewards, and guests
- Memory graph – persistent, queryable context that grows with community knowledge
- Contributions – capture proposals, evidence, and community input as structured data
- Discuss integration – connect threaded deliberation to agent memory and responses
- Teach Hermes – curate what the agent knows, with review and approval flows
- Share, watch, control – transparency tools so communities see what Hermes does and set limits
