Hermes Agent is a private, self-hosted assistant used only by its owner. It is not available to anyone else.

What Google data it uses

With the owner's permission, granted through Google sign-in, Hermes Agent:

• reads and searches email in the owner's Gmail account;
• creates email drafts, and sends email only when the owner asks;

How the data is used
