-
Every onchain yield, in one click.
Hermit scans the yields, builds a plan and runs a hazard scan on every contract. You approve once and it deposits.
-
Trades the news, with stops you can see.
It reads what is moving markets, proposes the position with take-profit and stop-loss, and only places it when you say yes.
-
Pays people and apps, privately.
Hand it a spreadsheet of 48 wallets. It catches the bad rows, routes the rest privately and shows you every transfer.
-
Hand it the to-do, it handles the rest.
"Pay alice.eth 200 USDC on Friday." Hermit checks the history, runs a hazard scan and schedules it once you approve.
-
Buys its own tools and gets to work.
Need an API key? Hermit buys credits with USDC, stores the key in your local vault and wires it into your project.
-
Stops before your money moves.
A fake presale page hides instructions for the agent. Hermit spots the injection, refuses, and sends you to the real site.
No filters. No lectures.
A cloud chat can only tell you how. Same errand, two assistants.

I can't send payments or connect to your wallet. Here's how to do it yourself:
- Open your wallet app
- Paste alice.eth as the recipient
- Enter 200 USDC
- Set a reminder for Friday
Double-check the address before you send. Payments can't be reversed.

There is no Hermit server holding your chats. Onchain errands talk to the chain, not to us.
Nobody's watching. Not us, not the cloud. Nobody.
Hermit runs on your computer. There's no server holding your chats, your history or your keys.
Pull the cable and it still answers. Onchain errands wait until you reconnect.
Keys stay in a local vault. Hermit never holds your funds.
Every payment shows a plan and a hazard scan, then waits for your yes.
No logs exist, so there's nothing to leak, sell or subpoena.
Built on open models anyone can inspect.
Four steps. Then it's yours.
The agent is local. The money moves onchain.
Questions, answered.
What is Hermit?
A loyal AI agent that runs on your computer. It chats like any assistant, and it can earn, trade and pay for you, but only after you approve.
Is it really local?
Yes. The model, your chat history and your private keys live on your machine. Nothing you type is sent to us.
Can it spend my money on its own?
No. Every payment shows a plan and a hazard scan first, then waits for your approval. You set the budget and the daily limit.
What does "uncensored" mean here?
Hermit answers adult questions plainly, without lectures or refusals for the sake of it. It still won't help anyone hurt people.
Is it on my phone?
Desktop comes first. Sending errands from your phone, and a Google plugin, come next.
When can I get it?
The beta opens in waves from the waitlist.
Come out of your shell.
Your own AI agent. Local, loyal, and it only moves money when you say so.
