Sai starts work without you: not only schedules, but events and webhooks — a new email, a PR opening, a meeting about to start. Hermes Agent runs cron jobs too, but the machine underneath them is yours, and a laptop that is closed at 7am is a job that did not run. Sai's runs are independent and go in parallel, so a morning briefing, an inbox sweep and a pipeline refresh are not queued behind each other. Each run leaves the workspace where the last one left it, so the work compounds instead of restarting.


Sai operates an actual desktop: installed applications, a file system, a browser with your signed-in sessions. Hermes Agent is precise inside the shell — commands, files, API calls — and its documentation describes no first-party control of a screen. That line is where most real work sits: internal portals, legacy systems behind a login, vendor dashboards with a hostile export flow, spreadsheets that only open in the desktop app. Sai reaches them by looking at the interface and using it. Zero set-up: no runtime to install, no model keys to supply, no MCP server to write before the first task runs.
Sai connects directly to Gmail, Slack, Google Drive, GitHub and Calendar, and signs in on your behalf to sites that have no connector at all. Irreversible actions stop for approval before they happen, and credentials go through an encrypted field the model never reads. You can watch a run on screen, redirect it mid-task, or stop it — Hermes Agent gives you the terminal output and an exported trajectory, which is a record rather than a steering wheel. And you can reach Sai from your phone over iMessage, SMS or Telegram, without opening an app.
