Human-governed AI systems

A specialist fleet with clear boundaries.

A small team of specialist agents supports research, implementation, operations, and review under human oversight.

Orchestration stack

Hermes is the control plane.

Hermes supports direct specialist conversations and bounded handoffs. Bob coordinates cross-specialist work and resolves ownership conflicts; not all tasks pass through Bob.

Hermes

Working patterns

01 · Direct workRohi works directly with the specialist responsible for the task.

02 · Specialist handoffA specialist can request narrowly scoped help through an approved connection, such as Felix asking Leo for public-source research.

03 · Coordinated workBob coordinates tasks that span specialists, resolves ownership conflicts, and verifies the combined result.

No agent independently deploys, publishes, books, pays, submits, or changes a tenant or production system. Those actions remain explicit human approval gates.
