Nous Research.

Nous Research built Hermes Agent. They do open-source AI.

The AI model

We use DeepSeek V4 Pro. It's good. For details on how it works and what it can do, see what you're paying for.

personality

Every & has a SOUL.md.

Their personality is a text file called SOUL.md. It describes who they are.

The SOUL.md specifies things like:

— Their voice and tone — how they talk to you
— What they know about the world and what they don't
— Their boundaries — what they will and won't do
— The kind of person they are — warm, direct, playful, calm

It's a plain text file. You can read it. You can change it. It's yours.

privacy

Your conversations are yours.

Each & has their own server. Nothing is shared between users. There's no central database where conversations get mixed together.

We don't read your messages. We can't. Each & has their own server, and we don't have access unless you give it to us.

Our pledge

We don't run ads

We don't train AI models on your messages

We don't share your conversations with third parties

We don't build advertising profiles

We make money when you pay us. That's the whole business model.
