A cloud-hosted Hermes AI agent that stays online and learns you over time
The Hermes agent runs in the cloud continuously, so scheduled jobs and monitors continue even when your own devices are offline.
Project facts, conventions and communication preferences are retained, so the agent adapts to your style and needs less repeated context.
Connect the agent to WeChat, QQ, WeCom, DingTalk, Feishu and international messengers so it lives inside your existing conversations.
Create cron reminders, recurring reports and monitoring rules that trigger on conditions such as order delays or price drops.

Hands-free AI voice chat for conversation, language practice and games
Talk to Roxy naturally in a voice-first interface and hear spoken replies, so you can use the app while driving, cooking or relaxing without touching your phone.
Play trivia, word puzzles, 20 questions and other casual games using only your voice for entertainment on the go.
Hold interactive conversations to practise a new language, or ask for instant translations when you need them.
Recent versions let you pick the underlying language model - Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini or your own custom model - to shape how conversations feel.
