--- title: "Done-For-You AI Workforce on Hermes — Astra AI" description: "Hundreds of AI workers that review their own work and improve every week, each with its own logins and permissions. Hermes, installed and run by Astra AI." canonical: "https://www.m-i-n-d.ai/get-hermes" updated: "2026-10-14" --- # The AI workforce with a brain that reviews itself and improves. Hundreds of AI workers, live on day one — each with its own computer, logins, and permissions, sharing one memory that gets smarter weekly. $2,500/month, plus AI running costs. Astra AI installs and manages a Hermes AI workforce running in a client's business or life for $2,500 a month — Nous Research's open-source, self-improving agent framework — after each turn it decides what to save or update as a reusable skill, so it genuinely gets better at your specific workflows the more it runs. We handle setup, configuration, monitoring, and incident response; the client gets a working AI workforce without owning the operational burden of running it themselves. ## Six jobs it takes off your plate - **Gets better every week** — After every job it saves what it learned, so the next one goes faster. - **Remembers your business** — It builds a real picture of how you work over time, not just what you told it five minutes ago. - **Finds anything it has done before** — Ask what happened last month and it can look back through everything it has ever done. - **Splits big jobs into pieces** — For a big task it can work on several parts at the same time instead of one at a time. - **Works on a schedule, on its own** — It can do things automatically at set times, using its own tools, without anyone asking. - **Reaches you anywhere, cheap** — It can message you on Telegram, Slack, or email, and it costs almost nothing to keep running. ## A day with it - **7:02am** — Your briefing is already sitting in your messages. - **Midday** — It answers a question using something it learned last month. - **3:00pm** — It saves a new skill it wants to use next time. - **Evening** — The report is already sitting in your inbox. ## What's included ($2,500/month) - We deploy Hermes on a computer, either yours or one we manage for you. - We route each task to the right AI model for the job. - We connect Hermes to the channels you check most, like Telegram or Slack. - We review what Hermes teaches itself, so it keeps learning the right lessons. - We monitor it around the clock and step in fast if it stops running. - You get a monthly call as Hermes picks up new skills. ## How it starts 1. **Discovery call** — We talk through your tasks and chat apps, and help you decide whether Hermes fits your business better than Grok Bot or OpenClaw. 2. **Setup** — We deploy Hermes on a computer, choose the right AI model for your work, and connect your chat apps. 3. **Verification** — We run it alongside your team, reviewing what it teaches itself before letting it work unsupervised. 4. **Ongoing management** — We track what it is learning, monitor its uptime, and check in with you every month. ## FAQ **Could I just set Hermes up myself instead of hiring you?** You could — Hermes itself is free, open-source software with no license fee, and the install script is genuinely one line. What it doesn't do is choose your infrastructure, harden credentials and network access, curate which plugins/skills are safe to run, wire the messaging platforms you actually use, or notice when the setup quietly breaks at 2am. That's the part we run. If you're comfortable doing all of that yourself and keeping up with it, you don't need us. **What happens if I want to leave?** Everything runs on infrastructure in your name or one we hand over on request — your data, your config, your credentials. Cancel any time; we'll hand off a clean export and walk your team (or your next vendor) through it. No lock-in by design. **What's actually included for $2,500/month?** Installation and initial configuration, the specific setup work listed above for this product, ongoing monitoring, incident response when something breaks, and a monthly review where we tune what your agent workforce is doing. It is a managed service, not a one-time setup fee — see "What you get monthly" above for the full list. **Who owns the agent and its data?** You do. It runs on your own hardware or a VPS provisioned in your name, with your credentials. We operate it; we don't own it. **Have you run Hermes for other clients before?** Hermes is the newest product in our lineup and we're direct about that: we don't have months of production history with it the way we do with OpenClaw. What we bring is the same deployment discipline, security review, and ongoing management process we run elsewhere, applied to a genuinely capable, well-documented open-source runtime. **Why would I pick the newest, least-proven option?** Because the self-improving skill loop is a real, differentiated capability the other two don't have, and it's cheap to run. If proven operating history matters more to you than that capability, OpenClaw — which we run ourselves daily — is the safer starting point. **What stops the self-improving agent from learning the wrong things?** Nothing, automatically — that's exactly why this is a managed service and not a fire-and-forget install. We review what skills the agent has saved on a regular cadence and prune or correct anything that's drifted. ## Facts - Vendor: Nous Research (Open source, MIT license) - Self-hostable: yes — Self-hosted — runs on a small VPS, your own hardware, or serverless infra you control. - Price: $2,500/month, cancel any time - Provider: Astra AI (https://www.m-i-n-d.ai)
