How is this different from ChatGPT?+
The difference is the setup, not a magic model. Your agent is connected to your tools, given your business context, and configured to run recurring work. It can research, create files, and take permitted actions instead of leaving you to copy answers between apps. You still review important decisions.
Does it really work when I close the chat?+
Yes. With the agent running on an always-on host, configured schedules and background jobs continue when your phone is closed. It messages you when there is something to review. 24/7 means hosted, scheduled operation, not a promise of uninterrupted uptime or an agent thinking every second. Hosting, model limits, and connected services still apply.
Can I use Telegram, WhatsApp, or iMessage?+
Yes, with the right setup. Telegram uses a bot. WhatsApp needs account pairing or a Business API integration. iMessage needs a compatible Mac-based bridge, such as BlueBubbles. We choose the channel that fits your business and check its requirements before starting.
Will it publish, email customers, or spend money on its own?+
We agree the boundaries before connecting it. The default engagement starts with research and drafts. Publishing, outbound messages, purchases, and deployments require your approval unless you explicitly authorize a specific routine. Access is scoped to the tools it needs, and we test those rules with you.
What is it built on?+
Hermes Agent, the open-source agent framework by Nous Research, with models and integrations chosen for the job. My work is shaping it around your business: context, tools, repeatable workflows, hosting, testing, and handover. You are buying a configured working setup, not a proprietary foundation model.
What does it cost, and what do I get?+
After the fit call, I quote the setup around one clear workflow. The scope covers the agent configuration, agreed integrations, messaging, testing, and handover. Hosting, model/API usage, paid tools, and any ongoing support are itemized separately before you commit. No one-size-fits-all price or unlimited-usage promise.
Do I need to be technical?+
No. You explain the job and give access to the tools we agree on. I handle the setup and show you how to message the agent, review its work, change a routine, and pause it. We start small, test with real examples, and expand when the first workflow is useful.
