release explainer #8: Hermes Business, what a team actually gets

posted 2026-09-15. original: https://x.com/witcheer/status/2099840448118309278

here are the answers to the questions you asked most under yesterday's Hermes Business announcement:

(1) where your data lives

in an isolated tenant per team on Nous infrastructure. Enterprise deployments keep it on infrastructure you control.

(2) your own machines

Hermes Enterprise is the same stack on-prem or in your private cloud, with SSO, SLAs and white-glove onboarding. Business is the self-serve version on Nous infrastructure.

(3) the team skill library

a skill any member builds is published to the team library and becomes available to everyone's agent.

(4) one balance, one hosted agent per person

the team has its own balance, separate from your personal one. you invite colleagues by email from the Team page, each member gets their own hosted Hermes Agent and draws from the team balance under a spend cap you set.

(5) roles and channels

owners and admins manage roles, caps and API keys; members sign in and use their agent, on Discord, Telegram, Slack and WhatsApp through the Team Gateway, plus the terminal, the Desktop app and the Cloud.

(6) models

every model on the Nous inference API, plus your own provider keys.
