One-liner
HBO Plugin is a Hermes-native business operations package: specialized agent profiles, workflows, a dashboard tab, signals and action queues with approval gates, and integrations to external tools.
The problem
Most SMB commerce teams run operations across disconnected tools:
- Google Sheets and CRMs for leads
- WhatsApp, marketplaces, and bots for customer conversations
- Manual spreadsheets for follow-ups and outreach batches
- Slack or Telegram for notifications
Hermes can reason and act — but it needs business context, workflows, UI for operators, and guardrails before it can run real commercial operations.
The solution
HBO Plugin extends Hermes itself through:
| Layer | What it provides |
|---|---|
| Plugin core | 19 hbo_* tools, 15 bundled skills, business rules, file-backed workspace state |
| Dashboard | Business Ops tab — Overview (charts), Agents, Workflows, Leads, Actions, Signals, Business, Audit, Tool Bridges, Setup |
| Profiles | Sales Ops, Growth, and Ops Lead agent distributions (+ 3 profile-local playbooks) |
| Skills | Workflow guidance + Composio, NVIDIA, Stripe Link CLI integrations |
Core operating loop
Business data → Signals → Hermes workflows → Action proposals → Approve / reject → Audit log
- Signals surface business events (missed follow-ups, bot QA flags, hot leads).
- Workflows (
inbound_sales,outbound_growth,daily_ops_briefing) scan state and propose actions. - Operators approve or reject in Hermes chat or the dashboard.
- Audit records every decision for traceability.
- Tool bridge executes approved actions against Gmail, Slack, CRM, and other connected apps when integrations are enabled.

Why this matters for businesses
- No missed follow-ups — signals and workflows keep hot leads and stale conversations visible
- Safer agent execution — humans approve before agents trigger external effects
- Auditable business operations — approvals, rejections, and runs logged in one workspace
HBO Plugin is an operating layer for Hermes — not a CRM replacement.
Objectives
HBO Plugin helps Hermes answer:
- What happened in the business today?
- Which leads or conversations need attention?
- What should each specialized agent do next?
- Which actions require human approval before execution?
- What was approved, rejected, and when?
