FAQ
Short answers.
What is Hermes?
An open-source AI agent framework. We pre-configure it on a private VPS so you don't have to set anything up. SSH in, chat in Telegram/Discord, run agents from your phone.
How fast does my workspace spin up?
About 80 seconds end-to-end. Server provisioned, cloud-init complete, Hermes healthy.
What's the difference between Lab Lobby and The Lab?
Lobby is read-only access to the community + watching streams + daily benchmark. The Lab adds your own workspace, speaking rights, VOD archive, and roadmap voting.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. We pro-rate the unused portion. Your workspace gets torn down within 24 hours of cancellation; export anything you want first.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Hermes works in chat. If you can use Telegram or Discord, you can use it. If you do code, it gets even better — terminal access, custom skills, anything you want.
Who runs this?
Jacob Lizarraga, building Otter Agents in public. Builder Lab is the community side of that work. You watch me ship, ask anything, and use the same tooling.
