Beyond disposable chat
Most AI tools answer in the moment. Hermes Layer gives your hosted AI agent a persistent workspace where preferences, project conventions, reusable procedures and past decisions can stay available across sessions.
Hosted AI Agent Workspace
Hermes Layer
Hermes Layer gives you a private AI agent workspace with Hermes WebUI, persistent memory, files, managed gateway surfaces, signed webhooks, Developer API access, backups and support — without maintaining the server yourself.
Article draft saved, SEO outline prepared, publishing checklist updated.
Core value
Most AI tools answer in the moment. Hermes Layer gives your hosted AI agent a persistent workspace where preferences, project conventions, reusable procedures and past decisions can stay available across sessions.
Use Hermes from a browser workspace with chat, sessions, files, memory, skills, tasks and model controls in one place — not scattered across terminals, scripts and disconnected chat threads.
Hermes Layer hosts the runtime, keeps the workspace available, manages gateway surfaces and backups, and lets you focus on useful AI automation instead of installation, upgrades and process management.
AI agent tasks
Give Hermes a goal and watch the workspace collect context, update memory, save skills and leave a usable artifact behind.
Turn this product brief into a blog article and repurpose it for social posts.
Track these competitors and brief me when positioning changes.
Prepare release notes from merged PRs and failing TODOs.
Compare these options and produce a decision memo.
Find stale docs and rewrite the onboarding path.
Turn these manual deployment steps into a reusable skill.
The interface is the product
Hermes Layer is not a thin chat wrapper. It keeps Hermes WebUI, private runtime access, backups, billing and support in one managed workspace contract.
Hosted surface
The service promise is deliberately narrow: a private Hermes workspace surfaced through the browser, with hosted account and runtime operations around it.
Workspace access goes through authenticated Hermes Layer routes instead of public tenant ports.
Billing, support, runtime health and backup workflows are handled around the WebUI.
Search, pin and continue long-running work without losing context.
Give Hermes goals and watch the agent plan, run and report.
Keep generated docs, code and working artifacts visible beside the chat.
Inspect durable facts, preferences and workflow context.
Reuse procedures that Hermes has learned from previous work.
Track repeatable and scheduled work when enabled in the workspace.
Keep model and context choices close to the composer.
International WebUI
Use the same hosted Hermes workspace with an interface available in multiple languages — without splitting sessions, files or memory across localized workspaces.
Interface localization, not separate workspaces. Your agent context, files and memory stay unified.
AI automation connectors
Configure verified Hermes Gateway channels directly from your hosted workspace. Hermes Layer keeps tenant ports private, stores secrets encrypted and injects channel configuration only while a connector is enabled.
Some channels require external provider, bot, token, sender or bridge setup.
Workflow automation API
External systems can reach Hermes through Hermes Layer signed routes and scoped API keys, while the private runtime stays behind the access gateway.
/workspaces/.../v1/*Forwarded to the private Hermes gateway with entitlement and rate-limit checks.

Managed AI credits
Add prepaid AI credits, open your Hermes workspace and let your agent use the managed provider mode. Advanced users can configure their own providers inside Hermes when available for their workspace.
Credits are presented as a simple prepaid balance, so users can stay focused on agent work.
Hosted safely
Hermes Layer keeps the WebUI as the product surface, adds hosted account controls around it and routes browser, connector, webhook and API traffic through tenant-aware access paths.
Account links, billing entry points, connector controls and managed gateway status live where users already operate the agent.
The raw WebUI and Gateway ports stay private. Access goes through authenticated Hermes Layer routes.
Hermes Layer is an independent hosted service and is not affiliated with Nous Research or the Hermes WebUI maintainers.
