Agentic AIpowered by Hermes Agent

AI agents that work, learn and develop independently. stepping stone operates the open-source agent Hermes securely on Swiss infrastructure — ready to take on your tasks.

With Hermes Agent, stepping stone provides an open-source solution for agentic AI. Unlike traditional chatbots, AI agents carry out tasks independently — they plan, make decisions and learn as they go.

The Hermes Agent stores information across sessions (Memory), can be customised in terms of personality and behaviour (Soul) and automatically develops new skills. It can be extended with MCP servers and is compatible with Claude skills. The whole system runs on stepping stone’s Swiss infrastructure — no data leaves the country.

Companies looking to automate routine tasks, streamline internal processes or offer AI-powered assistance across multiple channels. Particularly suitable for teams that need more than just a chatbot — namely, a digital colleague that thinks for itself.

Typical use cases: automated customer interaction via Signal, Telegram or WhatsApp; internal assistance systems; autonomous data processing and reporting; and agent-based workflows with tool integration.

Open source (MIT licence). Swiss data centres. No vendor lock-in.

The Hermes Agent remembers what it has learnt — across sessions. Its personality can be customised. New capabilities can be added via MCP servers and skills without having to rebuild the agent.

Multi-channel capable: a single agent accessible via Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack or email. Personalised support and operation provided by stepping stone in Bern.
