The business
What they do, where they operate, how they position themselves, and the company context that matters.

Research before action.
Meet Hermes.
The research layer behind better decisions.
Hermes explores businesses, people, websites, and opportunity signals before the next move is made. He gives Ariy's teammates better context, keeps the evidence attached, and turns scattered information into something useful.

Hermes
Research & evidence
What Hermes actually is.
A research system, not a mystery box.
Hermes combines AI models, search, tools, structured workflows, and source evidence to investigate a question before returning an answer or passing context into another part of Ariy.
We don't present Hermes as a foundation model we trained from scratch. The underlying model stack can evolve; the research workflow, evidence handling, and the way that intelligence connects into Ariy are the product.

Real Ariy Hermes patterns shown with illustrative evidence.
See why, not just a score.
Research should arrive with receipts.
Hermes keeps the evidence behind what it finds. That makes it easier to decide whether an opportunity deserves attention, what still needs verification, and what another teammate should know before acting.
The people
Likely decision makers, roles, contact evidence, and how confident Ariy is in what it found.
The website
Pages reviewed, obvious friction, technical gaps, and places the customer experience could be stronger.
The opportunity
Useful market signals, competitor observations, and the source links behind the recommendation.
Research before interruption.
Hermes can work through the noise before anything asks for your attention.
Ariy can observe businesses, queue the ones worth a closer look, let Hermes research them, and only surface stronger opportunities. Remy starts later in the process, with more context and fewer dead ends.

The sources stay attached.
Another teammate or a person can inspect where the recommendation came from instead of trusting an unexplained AI conclusion.
Useful context before the conversation.
Make the next move feel informed, not automated.
What Hermes finds can help decide which opportunity gets surfaced, what Remy should know before a conversation, and whether the next action deserves a person at all.
What you get
Research you can put to work.
A scoped research profile with findings, sources, freshness and unresolved questions—not an unsupported answer.
- Research around an agreed business or prospect question.
- First-party and permitted public sources with provenance.
- Findings that distinguish verified evidence from uncertainty.
- A profile that can be reviewed and handed to the person or workflow that needs it.
Set up around your business.
- 01Define the question, subject and intended use.
- 02Agree sources, effort, delivery and what sufficient evidence looks like.
- 03Review the resulting profile and any remaining gaps before acting.
Scope and control
- Early access: research scope, delivery and customer access are agreed first.
- No promise that every contact or requested fact can be found.
- No unrestricted access to private databases or customer information.
- Hermes produces research; Aletheia supervises quality and permitted use.
What happens when a fact cannot be verified?
The gap should remain visible. Not found, inaccessible and unverified are different outcomes; research must not invent a contact or turn a guess into confirmation.
Is Hermes another hireable teammate?
Hermes is Ariy's research and evidence system intelligence. Nia, Remy and Zyla own business roles; Hermes supplies research that those roles or a person can use.
Research informs what happens next.
