It stops when you close the lid
The assistant you pay for lives in a tab. Shut the laptop and the research job dies, the inbox goes untriaged, the scheduled thing never runs. You're paying for a capability that's only awake when you are.

Your AI agent shouldn't
live in a browser tab.
HermesBox is a small always-on machine that runs your assistant on your desk. Plug in the Claude, GPT or Gemini key you already pay for — it uses your plan, your provider bills you, we take nothing. Local models for the work you'd rather not send anywhere.

Why local
You don't need another AI subscription. You need somewhere to run the ones you have.
The models are already good. The keys are already in your password manager. What's missing is a machine that stays awake and does something with them.
02
You're already paying twice
A Claude plan. A GPT plan. Then some agent service on top that resells you the same tokens at a markup, in its own credits, on its own servers — for the privilege of running them while you sleep.
03
Some things you just won't send
Contracts, patient notes, unreleased code. So you rewrite the real question into a vague one, get a vague answer back, and quietly do that part by hand instead.
Bring your own key
The subscriptions you already pay for, already working here.
This is the part people underestimate. HermesBox is not a small model pretending to be a big one — it's the machine your agent lives on, pointed at whichever provider you already have a relationship with.

We are not in the token business
Most things that sit between you and a model take a cut, or resell you capacity at a markup, or make you buy credits in their currency. This doesn't. Your key goes in, the box calls the provider directly, and the invoice arrives from Anthropic or OpenAI exactly as it did last month.
We sold you a computer once. That's the entire commercial relationship.

A skill is how it learns a specific job
Filling a PDF properly. Cleaning a spreadsheet the way an accountant would. Reviewing a diff. Each one is a small folder of instructions your agent reads when the job comes up — so it stops guessing at the shape of the work and just does it the known-good way.
- One line each
- No config file to hand-write, no restart. Ask for it in Telegram and the box goes and gets it.
- Plain folders of Markdown
- Read a skill before you install it and edit it after. Nothing is compiled, encrypted or phoning home.
- Your own count too
- Drop a folder of your own instructions in and it behaves exactly like the other 652.

They run on whichever provider you pointed the box at — a skill that reads a contract can run against the local model and never leave the room, and the same skill can run on Claude tomorrow because you changed your mind, not because we changed our terms.

Why us
We built this because we were paying three companies for one job.
A Claude plan. A GPT plan. And then a third invoice, every month, from a service whose entire contribution was keeping a process running while we slept — using the keys we'd already paid for.
That third invoice is a computer. So we made the computer, sold it once, and stayed out of the token business entirely.
Also ours
We build the same box under a second name. clawbox.com sells the hardware on its own, for people who want the machine without the agent build on top. Same company, same workshop, same thermals — so if you have read one of these pages, you have read most of the other.
Check your own invoice
The cleanest audit there is: buy the box, run a week of work through it, then open your Anthropic or OpenAI billing page. What you see there is what you paid. Nothing routes through us, so there's nothing for us to skim.
Nothing here is proprietary
Ollama, llama.cpp, open weights, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, your own API keys. Every piece is something you could assemble yourself — we just did the assembling, the thermals and the enclosure.
The money is reversible
Thirty days from the day it lands. Which means the most you can lose by being wrong about us is the postage back.
The 90-Second Setup
Three steps. Then it's just there.
No Docker compose file, no CUDA versions, no quantization rabbit hole. The hard part is already done and soldered down.
01
Plug it in
Power and Ethernet. It boots, finds itself on your network, and answers to hermes.local. No account to create, no setup wizard, no waiting list.
02
Paste in the keys you already have
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter — whichever you're already paying for. The box uses your key and your plan; your provider bills you exactly what they billed you yesterday. We never see a token.
03
Message it from Telegram
Or the web UI, or the OpenAI-compatible endpoint your existing tools already speak. It's awake at 3am with your laptop shut, because it isn't your laptop.

Eight gigabytes is the honest constraint here: it runs 7–8B models at four-bit comfortably, and it does not run a 70B. If your work needs a frontier model, this is the wrong machine and we'd rather you knew that now than after it arrived.

The same models. A very different arrangement.

Comparison is against a hosted agent service, not against the model providers themselves — you keep those. HermesBox is where they run, not a replacement for them.
Ownership
Nobody is listening
on the other end.
No account to sign into. No terms that quietly change. No model swapped underneath you on a Tuesday. It's a computer, you bought it, and it does what you tell it — in your room, with the door shut.
The HermesBox Promise
Four things we'll hold to, so you don't have to gamble.
Buying hardware from a company you'd never heard of this morning is a leap. These are the terms that make it a small one.
01
Thirty days to send it back
Plug it in, connect your keys, push it hard for a month. If it isn't what you wanted, it goes back and we refund it. One email, no form, no restocking fee.
02
Not a cent on top of your tokens
Your key, your provider, your invoice. We take no cut, add no markup and run no proxy — the box talks to Anthropic or OpenAI exactly the way your laptop already does.
03
No subscription required
The hardware is a one-time purchase and it works fully without paying us anything again. There's no tier that unlocks the thing you just bought.
04
No telemetry, ever
There is no analytics to switch off, because there is none to begin with. The box has no reason to report on you and it doesn't.
If nothing changes
- Two AI subscriptions, and a third service reselling you the same tokens
- Work that only happens while the laptop is open and you're watching it
- The sensitive half of the job still done by hand
With one on your shelf
- The plans you already pay for, running on a machine you own outright
- It works through the night and messages you when it's done
- The documents you'd never upload stay on the box, answered anyway
Own the machine
you think with.
One payment. One box. Your keys, your provider, your invoice — and a machine that keeps working after you've gone to bed.

Questions
The things people actually ask
No, and it doesn't have to be. The box runs 7–8B models locally, which handle the everyday middle of the work — summarising, extraction, classification, drafting, first-pass code. For anything harder you point it at Claude, GPT or Gemini on your own key and get exactly the frontier model you're already paying for. The local side isn't the ceiling, it's the option for documents you'd never upload.
Still unsure? Ask us directly — a person answers.
