01 / ORIGIN

BEFORE HERMES

Too much signal.
Too little space to think.

Messages. Meetings. Staff needs. Plans. Documents. Ideas arriving faster than they could be connected. Across social care, entrepreneurship, project leadership and AI education, the work was never one thing.

“What if AI could understand not just my instructions — but how I operate?”

The basic agent

  • Answer questions
  • Generate text
  • Research
  • Follow instructions

THE LIMITATION

It knew AI.
It didn't know Arnie.

Capability without context is only potential. The first breakthrough was not a better answer. It was a better understanding of the person asking.

05 Context turns generic AI into MY AI.

THE FIRST BREAKTHROUGH / USER.MD

A profile became a partnership.

Background, companies, responsibilities, communication style, goals, standards and recurring work gave Hermes a durable point of view — not a script, but a map.

SOUL.MD / BEHAVIOUR BY DESIGN

I wasn't just programming tasks.
I was programming behaviour.
