Hey Product Hunt! 👋
DeployHermes lets you spin up your own private, always-on Hermes agent for Telegram/Discord in under a minute.
We built it because getting Hermes live today still means dealing with servers, Docker, Fly.io, environment variables, and a lot of setup friction before you ever get to the fun part: actually using your agent. That works for technical users, but it blocks a much bigger group of people who just want their own agent running reliably.
With DeployHermes, you bring your own model keys, connect your Telegram bot, and launch a dedicated Hermes runtime with persistent memory and encrypted secrets. The goal is simple: your agent should feel personal and always available, without you needing to operate infrastructure.
We’re starting with Telegram as the launch wedge, and we’re offering a 3-day free trial with 25% off so people can try it with real workflows before committing. Use code PHLAUNCH25 during checkout.
We have planned several new features and you can check them out here - https://deploy-hermes.com/roadmap
Would love feedback on two things in particular:
1. What would you want your personal Telegram agent to help with first?
2. What made self-hosting feel too annoying or too fragile for you?
@codenameakshay For non-tech users dipping into workflows like daily research or team updates, how does the persistent memory hold up over a week of real Telegram chats, and what's top on the roadmap to make it even smoother?
@codenameakshay love the focus on persistent memory. most telegram bots have goldfish memory and you have to re-explain everything daily. if this keeps the context intact without fly.io headaches, i’m in.
The setup friction point is real. I tried self-hosting once and gave up after 2 hours of env variable issues. Quick question — does the persistent memory work across different chats or just within one conversation?

Finally, an AI with persistent memory, cuz i clearly dont have one myself, haha. Can it process PDFs?

The persistent memory feature is a big win because my previous bots always forgot the context of our conversations after a few hours

@deangelo_hinkle yeah it is awesome
the ops barrier is the real thing killing personal agent adoption. most people can write a system prompt but not debug a Fly.io deployment. this makes sense as a product.
@codenameakshay The "No Docker/Fly.io" pitch is going to save so many people from a weekend of terminal errors. Self-hosting Hermes is usually a nightmare for anyone who just wants to use the model's personality without becoming a part-time sysadmin. I'm curious—since it's persistent memory, how does it handle long-term context? Does it start "forgetting" the early days of the chat as the history grows, or is the indexing handled server-side to keep it snappy?
