Managed Hermes hosting

Run Hermes. Skip the server work.

Get a dedicated Hermes agent with persistent state, a protected web dashboard, Telegram, and managed model routing—without maintaining the infrastructure yourself.

Keep Hermes. Hand off the infrastructure.

Self-hosting gives you control, but it also gives you every operational task. Managed hosting keeps the Hermes experience while we run the deployment around it.

When you self-host

  • Provision and secure a server
  • Configure the runtime and public access
  • Keep state and skills on persistent storage
  • Diagnose process and deployment failures

With OpenClaw Direct

  • A dedicated managed Hermes runtime
  • Persistent configuration, memory, and skills
  • Authenticated access to the web dashboard
  • One portal for setup, billing, and instance controls

What managed Hermes hosting includes

The supported surfaces you need to start using Hermes without assembling the hosting stack yourself.

Dedicated Hermes runtime

Your instance runs Hermes in its own managed deployment rather than on a laptop or shared browser session.

Persistent memory and skills

Hermes configuration, memory, and installed skills live on persistent storage across normal runtime restarts.

Protected web dashboard

Open the Hermes dashboard through the existing authenticated portal path instead of exposing it directly to the internet.

Telegram support

Connect a Telegram bot during setup and use Hermes from a chat you already keep open.

Managed model routing

Choose from models supported by the platform AI gateway and configure provider access through the setup flow.

ChatGPT and Codex pairing

Active Hermes instances can start the supported device-pairing flow for ChatGPT or OpenAI Codex access.
