A Hermes Agent instance running on your infrastructure with:
- Telegram gateway — Talk to your agent from your phone

- Tool integrations — Connected to the services you use (Google Workspace, GitHub, calendars)
- Voice and vision — Send voice notes and images to your agent
- Cron jobs — Scheduled tasks that run automatically
- Full documentation — So you understand how it works and can modify it

- Telegram account for the gateway
