The neural linkfor Hermes

MeetOctylink.

Hermes is one of the most capable AI agents ever open-sourced. Octylink wires it into your whole company — every agent, every team, one secure link — and unlocks organizational intelligence.

01 — The mind

Hermes is a remarkable mind. Any model, any tool, skills it learns, memory it keeps, sandboxes it works in.

Under the hoodOpen-source agent runtime by Nous Research: providers, MCP servers, skills, cron, messaging gateways.

02 — The catch

But it's born on one computer, and it grows on one computer. Only the person sitting at it can reach it.

Under the hoodThe gateway and dashboard listen on the host's loopback. No auth layer in front of them, by design.

03 — The glass box

To everyone else it's a glass box. You can see the power inside. You just can't reach it — and your company can't run it.

Under the hoodOpening those ports means patching Hermes with your own auth, then maintaining that fork forever.

04 — The link

Octylink is the neural link for Hermes: a reverse gateway that links to it one-to-one, from the outside, and opens a single authenticated port to your whole organization.

Under the hoodMirror, not fork: HTTP and WebSocket proxied, per-caller keys and scopes, every change on the record.

05 — The handshake

Nothing inside Hermes is touched. When Hermes upgrades, the link simply follows.

Under the hoodSettings, catalogs and schemas are read from the installed Hermes, never hand-copied.

This is Organizational Intelligence.

How it works

A brain, a link, and a pair of hands.

01 The brain

Hermes runs on your host.

Your agents think on a machine you control — a server, a VM, a box in the office.

One Hermes root per agent: its own config, memory, skills and secrets.

02 The link

Octylink sits beside it.

The only door in or out. It knows who is asking, what they may do, and writes it all down.

Reverse proxy · gateway mirroring · session management · scoped API keys.

03 The hands

Work happens in disposable sandboxes.

Every run gets a fresh cloud sandbox to do real work in. When it's done, it's cleared away.

Per-run cloud sandboxes, swept by Octylink's janitor. Nothing is left running.

What the link takes care of

Everything it takes to keep a healthy connection.

01
Gateway mirroring
Everything Hermes can do, reachable from outside — exactly the way Hermes does it.
02
Reverse proxy
One authenticated port. Hermes's own ports never leave the host.
03
Agent management
Create, rename, update and retire agents. Each lives in its own root folder.
04
Session management
Every chat and every run, from every surface — Slack, cron, the dashboard, your apps.
05
Sandbox janitor
Cloud sandboxes are swept when a run ends. No orphans, no surprise bills.
06
Upgrade-proof
No patches to Hermes. Upgrade it whenever you like; the link keeps working.
07
Access & audit
Per-person keys and scopes. Every admin change is on the record.
08
Readiness
Every agent is health-checked before it's allowed to take a run.

For the organization

Every employee gets agents of their own. Every agent gets your company's context.

Connect agents to your organization's knowledge through your own MCP servers, give them your skills and automations, and see the whole fleet on one screen — without anyone opening a terminal.

How we're different

Everyone else rents you an agent. We hand you the keys.

Two open-source agents changed what an agent can be: OpenClaw and Hermes. The big labs answered with closed agents that run on their own model, in their own cloud. Octylink takes the open one and makes it work for a whole company — without taking the keys back.

01
We don't sell models.
We earn nothing per token, so we never steer you to a provider. Pick the best model for each agent, and switch the day a better one ships.
Providers are set per agent through Hermes itself. No inference markup, no credits.
02
Built in production.
Octylink runs LoanLight's own agents, in mortgage — an industry that audits everything. Keys per person, a record of every change, a health check before every run: we needed them first.
Scoped API keys per caller · admin audit trail · readiness gates · sandbox janitor.
03
Open source underneath.
We link to Hermes instead of forking it. Every Hermes release makes your agents better the day it lands — no waiting on us.
Settings, catalogs and schemas are read from the installed Hermes, never hand-copied.
04
Your agents stay yours.
Each agent's memory, skills and settings stay private on the host where it runs — not in someone else's cloud. Self-hosting Octylink itself is on the way.
One Hermes root per agent, private to the host it runs on.
