We are going to start with the basics so people have a way to start, to learn how to work safely with Ai, and get outcomes that work for you! This will be a practical session, so bring your devices to practice on the night. All are welcome, but this will be especially valuable for beginners.

Automate Your Business with Hermes Agent - Keep Private and Take Control

**This is a paid event.** Early-bird tickets for **$149** are available until 7th August. Tickets will be **$249** thereafter. Get your tickets on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1993880315698?aff=oddtdtcreator **Overview** Ready to automate — on your own terms? A full-day, hands-on build at WSTI, where you'll set up a Business AI OS on **Hermes** — the open-source AI agent you run yourself. Lunch + optional consultation included. \> ***"I want AI actually running my business — but on my terms: my data, my computer, my costs."*** Sound familiar? You're ready for the next step. You'll build a Business AI OS — the foundation that holds your business's context, memory and tool connections and powers every Agent that runs on it. By day's end you'll have assembled a Chief-of-Staff agent that triages a whole inbox into one dashboard, plus a content agent for social — on a real business scenario, on software that's yours to take home. **Why Hermes — what a rented AI tool can't give you** \- 🔓 **Hermes Agent.** Free & open-source. Take Hermes home and set up the same thing for your own business, on your own computer. \- 🔒 **Your data stays with you.** Hermes runs on your own machine and connects to your own accounts — your emails never sit on someone else's cloud. \- 💸 **Your model, your cost — your choice.** You're not locked to one paid provider: plug in a low-cost model, or an all-in subscription if you prefer. You control the bill. \- 📱 **It lives where you do.** Connect Hermes to WhatsApp and run your business from your phone — get the morning's inbox triage sent straight to you. **What You'll Walk Out With** * **A Business AI OS that knows your business** — its context, voice, prices and tools — running on Hermes, on a real scenario (the foundation everything else builds on) * **A Chief of Staff that runs your inbox for you** — a team of specialist agents that sort, draft and prioritise every email into one dashboard, and run themselves every morning on a schedule (drafts only — never sends without you) * **A content agent for the other direction** — it spots a happy-customer email and writes ready-to-post Instagram/Facebook content (inbound **and** outbound, one system) * **An optional free 30-minute AI consultation** to map your next step **Who This Is For** \- SME owners and founders who want automation without giving up cost control or data privacy \- Working professionals who want a self\-hosted\, no\-lock\-in setup they fully own \- Anyone curious how Western Sydney businesses are running on AI Agents **What to Expect** * **Background** — what a Business AI OS is, and why open-source + self-hosted matters for cost and privacy * **Demo** — a live Chief of Staff triaging a full inbox * **Hands-on all day** — install Hermes → give it your business memory → build an Operations Agent → save it as a skill + schedule it → build specialist sub-agents → assemble a Chief of Staff → extend it with content/social * **Lunch + networking** with other Western Sydney business owners, founders and builders * **Next steps** + your optional free consultation **FAQ** **What is a Business AI OS?** A personal AI operating system for your business — the layer that knows the business (context, memory) and connects to your own tools, so it can spawn the right Agent for any task. **What platform do you use?** Hermes — an open-source AI agent framework (by Nous Research) that runs on your own computer and works with any AI model. It's free, so you can take the exact setup home. **Where does my data go?** Hermes runs on the computer in front of you and connects to your own accounts — your data stays with you, not on someone else's cloud. **Can you set it up and run it for me?** Yes. If you'd rather not run it yourself, our 1-on-1 AI OS Build Support can set it up and maintain it on **your own private server** — a dedicated setup that stays yours, never a shared cloud. Ask at your free consultation. **Do I need to know AI or coding?** No coding — Hermes has a friendly desktop app. New to AI? An intro taster experience helps but isn't required. **Do I need a laptop?** No — WSTI provides one to make learning as smooth as possible. We prepare tools, licences, configurations, learning projects and materials beforehand for you. Bring your own if you'd like to take notes. **Is lunch included?** Yes. **Notice of Photography and Filming** By entering this event, you acknowledge that photography, audio, and video recording may occur.
