Hermes × Bees · he2.ai/hxbees
Getting Started with Hermes × Bees
Hermes is your dedicated, always-on AI agent — running on a private server provisioned just for you. Bees are the agent workforce it commands. Together they let you give one goal and have a whole team of agents work on it. It remembers you across sessions, connects to your apps, and reaches you wherever you are.
Product: Hermes × Bees (he2.ai/hxbees) · Audience: End users of the Hermes × Bees product
One task, a whole team of agents working together.
From idea to a running agent team in four steps.
Onboarding flow
- Subscribe — Go to he2.ai/hxbees. Click Get Started and complete Stripe checkout. One plan, $199/month, everything included.
- Connect a platform — After payment you land on a setup screen. Connect at least one messaging platform (Telegram is fastest). Provisioning only starts once you have a platform connected.
- Wait ~2–3 minutes — Your dedicated VM is being created. The progress screen updates in real time. You can close the tab — provisioning continues and you'll be redirected when it's done.
- Start chatting — When provisioning completes you're redirected to /hxbees/connections. Send a message from the dashboard or from Telegram.
Why is a platform required before provisioning? This ensures your agent is immediately reachable when it boots, and prevents orphaned VMs for users who abandon setup mid-flow.
Next Steps: Set up your bot in the Telegram Setup guide, learn what your agent can do in Capabilities, or explore Multi-Agent Apps to put a whole team to work.
