Talos — Business in a Hermes Box

For the Hermes Agent Accelerated Business Hackathon @NousResearch I built Talos — an autonomous business system that takes a company concept and produces a complete go-to-market operation. Strategy, product design, marketing, sales page, visuals. No human decisions beyond pressing Enter.

What it does

Talos is a 3-tier autonomous business stack running on a Raspberry Pi:

Tier 1 — CEO Bot (Decision Layer): Takes a company brief and deploys research scouts to investigate the market. Evaluates product candidates, designs a complete sales funnel (FREE → $27 → $97 → $497/mo → $18K DFY), and defends every decision against a 5-lens critic panel. Outputs PRODUCT-SPEC.md — the source of truth for everything downstream.

Tier 2 — Marketing Orchestrator (Execution Layer): Reads the CEO's spec and runs 13 marketing skills across 7 dependency waves: research → strategy → content → distribution → launch. Every output is verified by critics before the next step sees it. Produces sales page copy, email sequences, social posts, lead magnets, and a launch plan.

Tier 3 — Self-Evolving Skills (Learning Layer): Every critic catch becomes a permanent rule.
The system gets smarter with each cycle.

The demo run

One prompt. 82 minutes. 104 bots spawned autonomously.
5,248,710 tokens consumed, 50 web searches
94 files generated: 65 markdown docs, 10 HTML files, 9 visual assets, plus JSON configs, CSS, and an audit log
3 rounds of critic review, 2 fix iterations
The bots designed a complete 5-tier product funnel, wrote all the copy, generated the visuals, and published a live sales page with a working Stripe checkout
A real $97 purchase was made via Stripe on the page the bots built

Three human interventions during the run — all gated approvals at critic checkpoints.
Everything else was autonomous.

The product the bots created

Domination Engine™ — an AI Marketing Operating System. A decision layer that tells an established business which AI marketing move to make next, in what order, with tool-agnostic workflows to execute it. The CEO bot didn't just pick a product — it designed and priced the entire funnel, from free lead magnet to $18K done-for-you service.

The PRODUCT-SPEC.md was detailed enough to hand directly to Claude Code to build the software. The sales page is live. The Stripe checkout works.

Sponsor stack

🤖 Nous / Hermes — Hermes Agent orchestrates the entire 3-tier architecture. Dozens of skills, persistent memory, subagent spawning, profile isolation. CEO and Orchestrator run as separate Hermes profiles with distinct contexts.

🟩 NVIDIA Nemotron — Powers the reasoning across all bots. NemoClaw serves as the adversarial critic layer — the model that catches the other model's mistakes.

💳 Stripe — Live checkout on the bot-generated sales page.

What makes this different

Talos doesn't do a task. Talos takes a business concept and produces a complete go-to-market operation — researching the market, making product decisions, designing a funnel, writing copy, generating visuals, publishing a sales page, and collecting revenue. The CEO bot doesn't just execute instructions. It makes strategic decisions and defends them against critics.

The system runs on Windows 11 utilizing Hermes. Orchestration is local. Inference runs on NVIDIA's cloud. Stripe used for checkout.

Bots that catch their own bullshit.

By advertising consistently, you increase overall brand awareness and build trust. That way, when customers are ready to buy, they already know your brand, what it represents and who you are as a business.

We just increased organic traffic 110% by REMOVING pages...

Most people use keyword clustering to find content opportunities and CREATE pages. We spun it on its head and used clustering (via @keywordinsights) to DELETE pages.

😱Is it the end of Google Products as we know it? Businesses can no longer edit existing Products on their Google Business Profiles (GBP) and can only add new Products through Merchant Center! https://t.co/mfy4m2dzgw

@engineers_feed The correct answer is NO - you cannot crack the combination from just these hints because there are at least three possible correct answers: 150, 420, and 495.
