Managed Hermes is a streamlined solution that simplifies the implementation of personal AI assistants. This feature automates server management, infrastructure updates, and security settings, allowing you to focus entirely on configuring your assistant’s logic and interactions.

You can purchase a Managed Hermes subscription in two ways:

• From hPanel — log in to hPanel and click Hermes in the left sidebar. All users can see this menu item and purchase a subscription directly from there.
• From the Hostinger website — visit this page and select a plan.

With Managed Hermes, you receive:

• Automated Onboarding: Choose your AI provider and a communication channel like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Hostinger Email.
• Integrated AI Models: Use nexos.ai to connect with AI models without manual API key configurations.
• Isolated Environment: Your Hermes instance runs within a secure, dedicated Docker container.
• Managed Infrastructure: Hostinger handles all backend security features and automatic software updates.

Prerequisites

• A Hostinger account with access to Managed Hermes (currently rolling out by region).
• An active Telegram or WhatsApp account, or a Hostinger Email address, for the AI communication channel.

Set up your Managed Hermes instance

To begin, you must first purchase a plan and configure the basic settings:

1. Get your Managed Hermes plan: Visit the Hostinger page for your brand and select Managed Hermes.
2. Scroll down and click on Get Hermes. There is only one version for Managed Hermes. After selecting this option, you will be directed to the cart to proceed with payment.
3. Select your plan duration and optional add-ons
   1. Ready-to-use AI: Selected by default; you can add up to 100 nexos.ai credits to start right away.
   2. Instant web search: Add 1000 free Oxylabs AI Studio credits to empower your agents for internet browsing.
      
4. Configure the AI Provider: If you purchased the version without Ready-to-use AI, enter your externally generated API key during the onboarding process.
   
5. Finalize the installation: The system will prepare your environment. Once complete, click the Hermes button to open the interface, or click Access key to copy your unique token.
