Tradition chosen.Christian or Universal — the single most important early choice.
A first Silence activity.Built from your own answers.
The moment that closes the moduleThe agent designs one Silence activity specifically for you. It names your actual blocker, your real day, your real space. Delivered in chat. You think: that is mine.
What is Hermes?
Local-first, made plain.
Hermes is the engine the agent runs on. The Afterschool Agent is a profile that gives it a personality, a memory, and daily rituals. The local-first idea is simple: everything the agent remembers lives on your device, not a company’s cloud. Nobody else reads it.
Your data is yours.That is the first lesson in agency.
No code needed.Installing is a guided step, not programming.
The walkthrough
Six steps to a working agent.
Install Hermes for your machine, and verify with one command. A real check, not blind trust.Free and local — no account, no card. No parent needed yet.
Load the Afterschool Agent profile. The agent greets you. You can rename it — the moment it stops being software and starts being yours.
Let it learn you. Who are you, how old, where you live, what your week looks like.Then: what you’re into, and what you want different in three months.
Choose your tradition. Christian or Universal. Everything branches from here.
The chat goes live. One good question, your answer, it remembers. The proof? It references something specific you just said.
Get your first Silence activity. One small thing, built for your blocker, your interests, your week, your age.
Close the loop
The module ends with one forward step, not a wall.
The agent repeats the activity back, and tells you why it fits you, naming your actual details. You commit to trying it today or tomorrow.
Deliberately not hereNo voice yet — that’s Module three. No evening planner — that’s Module two. One capability, one moment: my agent knows me, and it already gave me something useful.
