One command. That is all it takes.
Install Hermes Agent yourself
Hermes Agent installs with a single command on any Linux VPS. What takes most businesses days to configure — model selection, memory setup, channel connections, automation workflows — is what PURIST handles for you.

The honest breakdown
The software is free. The setup is where businesses get stuck.
Installing Hermes takes 5 minutes. Getting it to actually run your business automatically — connected to your tools, trained on your workflows, answering your clients — takes expertise.
What is free
What PURIST handles
What you get
Not a chatbot. An agent that acts.
Hermes Agent by Nous Research runs continuously on your infrastructure. It connects to your tools, executes tasks on its own, remembers everything it learns, and works through every channel you already use.
The model underneath, Hermes 3, scores 91% on the Berkeley Function-Calling Benchmark — matching GPT-4 and Claude 3 Sonnet — at zero licensing cost. It runs entirely on your $5/mo VPS.

What PURIST delivers
We handle everything. You get the agent.
From VPS provisioning to live workflows — we set up, configure, and train your Hermes agent on your business, then hand it to you running.
Hostinger VPS Setup
We provision your VPS, install Docker, deploy Hermes Agent, and configure all security settings. Your agent runs on dedicated infrastructure you own outright.
Model and Memory Configuration
We configure the Hermes 3 model with your business context: your tone, your processes, your FAQs, your products. The agent starts knowing your business from day one.
Channel Integrations
We connect your agent to Telegram, Slack, email, WhatsApp, or Discord. It receives messages, takes action, and responds across every channel you already use.
Workflow Automation Build
We build the specific automations your business needs using n8n combined with Hermes — lead follow-up, appointment booking, reporting, client onboarding, and more.
24/7 Monitoring and Uptime
We monitor your agent continuously. Error alerts fire within 90 seconds. You get a dedicated Slack channel for direct access. Your agent never goes down silently.
Training and Handover
We train your team to interact with the agent, add new skills, and expand its capabilities. Full documentation, video walkthrough, and source code access included.

Channel and tool integrations
We connect your agent to Telegram, Slack, email, WhatsApp, and your existing tools including CRM, calendar, and n8n workflows.
Automation workflows built and tested

Common questions
Do I need technical knowledge to use my agent? +
No. We handle the entire setup and hand you a working agent. You interact with it through Telegram, Slack, or email — just like messaging a team member. No command line, no coding.
Is my data safe? +
100%. Your agent runs on your Hostinger VPS. Nothing is sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, or any third party. Your conversations, business context, and customer data stay entirely on your server.
What is the difference between Hermes Agent and ChatGPT? +
ChatGPT is a session-based chat tool. It forgets everything when you close the window, cannot act without you, and sends your data to OpenAI. Hermes Agent runs 24/7, remembers everything, connects to your tools, executes tasks on its own, and costs $5/mo to host.
Do I need a Hostinger account? +
Yes. You create a Hostinger account and pick a VPS plan starting at $5/month. We handle provisioning, Docker, security, deployment, and the full configuration. You just need the account.
Can I add new automations after the initial setup? +
Yes. We train your team to add skills and workflows. You can also book additional automation sprints with us at any time without signing a long-term contract.
Why Hostinger specifically? +
Hostinger offers a one-click Hermes Agent Docker template in their VPS marketplace, making deployment faster and more reliable. Their pricing starts at $5/month and they have servers in the US, Europe, and Asia.
