All integrations30 minutes with us. Bring one job you never want to do again.
Hermes remembers you and writes its own skills as it works. A company needs that memory shared across a team, with access for each person, agents that ask before acting, and nobody on staff stuck maintaining it.
Remember how I like my reports and remind me on Friday.
What it does well
What it does for a company
The short answerHermes is an excellent agent for one person who wants it to learn their way of working. In a company, what it learns has to be shared with the right people and nobody else, and someone has to run it. Brainstack gives you that shared brain with access per person, managed for you.
What one person needs from an agent, and what a company needs on top. What we say about Hermes Agent comes from its maker and the press, and we mark what isn't public.

More than 100 apps. The company brain reads only what you connect, and each agent acts only in the tools you give it.
Gmail, Drive, Notion, your CRM. The brain builds a living file per client from them.
Give each person a role. That decides what they see, in the app and in their own AI.
Pick a role, set its schedule and what needs your approval. It starts on the next run.
Every plan includes the company brain, your own server and approvals. You pay your company's AI plan directly to Anthropic, OpenAI or Google, at their price.
Brainstack learns at company level: it reads the tools you connect, keeps a living file per client with the source of every fact, and brings active clients up to date every weekday evening. What each person can see of it depends on their role.
The software is free; running it for a team isn't. Brainstack includes access per person, approvals, dashboards, encrypted backups every 6 hours and a server only your company uses, from $99 a month plus your AI plan.
Brainstack runs on your company's Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini plan. Local and open models are not offered today.
No. It is built for a company's work: clients, invoices, inbox, sales and support. Each person can still ask the company brain from their own Claude or ChatGPT, and gets only what their role allows.
Starter is $99 a month, Growth $499 and Scale $999, for the whole company. On top, you pay your company's AI plan (Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini) directly to the provider. We add no margin. Custom is priced with you.
On a server only your company uses, in the US or Europe, with encrypted backups every 6 hours. Your AI provider processes what an agent or a person sends it, under the terms of your plan.
Not yet. What we do have: one server per customer, permissions per person, approvals before anything leaves, a record of what each agent did, and GDPR terms.
