Can Hermes agents run on schedules?

Yes. Qoren is built for agents that run on schedules and triggers, with monitoring from the dashboard.

Do I have to SSH into a server?

No. Qoren is designed so you configure and monitor the agent from the product rather than maintaining a VPS over SSH.

Hermes hosting choices

Choice	What you operate	Use it when
Local laptop	The machine, local dependencies, credentials, and uptime.	You are testing or need local-only access.
Self-managed VPS	Server hardening, runtime install, updates, backups, and logs.	You want full server control.
Qoren	Agent settings and business rules, not the server.	You want Hermes online without infrastructure work.

What Qoren adds to Hermes

Hermes gives the agent a runtime. Qoren gives that runtime a managed place to live, a deployment workflow, and an operations surface.

Agent configuration for persona, tasks, tools, and schedules.
Secret storage for provider keys, tokens, and integration credentials.
Cloud environments that keep running after your laptop is closed.
Usage and activity views for monitoring live agents.

Good Hermes workloads for managed hosting

Managed hosting works best when the value comes from the agent being available over time, not just from a one-off local run.

Scheduled research agents that collect and summarize new information.
Slack, Discord, Telegram, or webhook-triggered assistants.
Coding or operations agents that need a stable workspace and logs.

Operational checklist

Before deploying a Hermes agent, decide what the agent can access, how it should stop, and how you will review its work.

Model key policy: managed key or BYOK.
Secrets and least-privilege access for every integration.
Workspace files, persistent state, and retention expectations.
Spend limits, human review points, and failure alerts.

Where local Hermes still makes sense

Local Hermes is still useful for quick experiments, private offline work, and development where you need direct access to the host machine. Qoren is for hosted operation.
