Workflow orchestration across SaaS
CRM ↔ data warehouse, ticketing ↔ Slack, billing ↔ accounting. Hermes is the wiring that adapts to context, not a static pipe.
Agent
Hermes
The orchestration agent for connected systems.
Hermes is the messenger agent. It moves information between systems, drives multi-step workflows, and keeps the right people and services in sync. On MindsHub it runs alongside your other agents, with shared tools, credentials, and memory.
What it is
What is Hermes?
Hermes is built for the work that lives between systems. It listens for events, transforms what it hears into the right shape for the next destination, and routes information where it needs to go. Where Anton hands back a finished deliverable and OpenClaw runs deep multi-step work, Hermes keeps the pipes flowing.
On MindsHub, Hermes coordinates with the other agents on the platform through shared memory and tool access. The result is multi-agent workflows that compose — Hermes routes, OpenClaw computes, Anton ships the artifact — without you stitching the orchestration together yourself.
Especially good for
The work Hermes is shaped to do.
Automated digests and briefings
Daily, weekly, on-event. Hermes pulls from many sources, summarizes, and delivers to the right channel.
System-to-system bridges
When two systems need to share state but don't speak each other's API. Hermes translates, filters, and forwards.
Multi-agent pipelines
Hermes coordinates other agents — picks the right one for each step, hands off, collects results, decides next moves.
Scheduled and event-driven automations
Cron-like schedules, webhook triggers, queue-driven pipelines. Hermes is the runtime; you describe the policy.
Self-hosted vs MindsHub
What you build vs what you get.
Hermes is open-source either way. The difference is the operational backbone around it.
| What you handle… | Self-hosted | On MindsHub |
|---|---|---|
| Secrets management | You manage keys, rotation, scoping | Built-in credentials vault |
| Model access | One provider relationship per LLM | Model Router with `latest:*` aliases |
| Persistent execution | Queues, workers, retries you build | Managed runtime, jobs survive restarts |
| Memory across runs | Your storage, your schema, your reset logic | Shared memory store, built in |
| Tool integrations | Per-tool plumbing, per-tool auth | Pre-built catalog, shared auth |
| Observability | You wire your own traces | Scratchpad + audit log on every run |
| Scaling | VMs, queues, autoscaling rules | Managed — no servers to mind |
Why on MindsHub
What you get when Hermes runs here.
Shared credentials vault
Every integration Hermes touches uses the same secrets layer. No per-flow secret management.
Persistent execution
Long-running pipelines survive restarts. Hermes resumes mid-flow, with state intact.
Multi-agent coordination
Hermes can call OpenClaw, NanoClaw, or Anton through the platform. Build pipelines that compose agents instead of treating each as an island.
Audit trail for every message
Every routing decision, every transformation, every downstream call shows up in the scratchpad and audit log.
Model Router per step
Fast model for the routing decision, reasoning model for the harder transforms, vision model when an attachment shows up. Pick per task, not per pipeline.
Scaling and reliability
No queues to manage. No workers to scale. Hermes runs on the same managed runtime as every other agent on the platform.
How it works
From signup to first run.
- 01
Define the pipe
Describe what Hermes should listen for, what it should produce, and where it should send the result. Plain language; no DSL.
- 02
Wire the systems
Connect the source and destination — webhooks, queues, SaaS APIs, internal services. Secrets go in the vault; auth is scoped per integration.
- 03
Run and observe
Hermes routes events as they arrive. Every run shows up in the scratchpad — replay, edit, or branch as the pipeline evolves.

FAQ
Frequently asked.
- Is Hermes open source?
- Yes. Like the other agents on MindsHub, Hermes is open-source — run it locally or hosted on the same runtime.
- How is Hermes different from a workflow tool like Zapier or n8n?
- Zapier-style tools follow fixed if-this-then-that rules. Hermes is an agent — it can read context, decide which path to take, and call other agents for the harder steps. Use it when the workflow needs judgment, not just plumbing.
- Can Hermes call other agents on MindsHub?
- Yes. Hermes can hand off to OpenClaw, NanoClaw, or Anton through the platform's shared runtime. Build multi-agent pipelines without writing orchestration glue.
- How is Hermes priced on MindsHub?
- Hosting is $9.95/month per agent. Bring your own LLMs or use the Router (5M tokens included). See /pricing.
