Fearless automation for everyone

Give your AI agents a workflow they can’t break.

Build agents that run for months, sleep for human input, survive crashes, and pick up exactly where they left off. HermitScale combines persistent workspaces, durable workflow orchestration, and event-driven coordination.

Every morning, go through new support emails, flag anything urgent to the on-⁠call person, and reply to everyone else — but check with me first.

01The problem

Automation was never built for work this complex. 

Every existing approach breaks down when workflows need to think, persist state, and run for months.

breaks when it has to think

Traditional Workflow Tools

Built for pipelines, not processes. AI is bolted on as one more step, not a participant that reasons through long-running work.

in practiceEvery edge case is another branch to build. Keeping the workflow alive becomes a full-time job of its own.

breaks when it has to scale

Coding Agents

Brilliant solo performers. But try running hundreds of them, thousands of times a day, in production.

in practiceYou end up hand-building the queues, retries, state and monitoring before you’ve automated anything.

breaks when it has to be trusted

Always-On Personal Agents

Open-ended and optimistic. Great for ad hoc tasks, but they decide the steps as they go — hard to constrain and impossible to audit.

in practiceThe same request takes a different path every time. Not something you hand a business process to.

Most tools automate steps. We automate outcomes.

Other tools keep running the step you wrote, even after it stops working. HermitScale checks whether the work actually got done, and when it didn’t, Hermit tells you why and how to fix it. Nothing changes until you say yes.

self-healing

When a step breaks, it finds out why

Hermit reads every trace and error your runs leave behind. When reviews start stalling, it follows them back to the sentence that caused them and suggests new wording. Accept it and the stuck runs pick up where they stopped.

Hotfix review

1 suggested edit

When a hotfix PR is opened, run the test suite and get Priyathe on-call engineer to review it before it merges.

Hermitsuggests a fix

Priya left on Sep 11. Since then 23 hotfixes have been waiting on her review, and every Slack reminder fails with user_not_found. Should the on-call engineer review them instead?

self-improving

When you repeat yourself, it writes it down

Hermit also reads your Codex sessions and agent chats. If your team asks an agent to bump dependencies every Monday, it notices and drafts the workflow, so nobody has to ask again.

Dependency updates

new draft

Every Monday, check our repos for outdated packages, open a PR for anything with a security fix, and post the list in #eng.

Hermitdrafted a workflow

Your team has asked agents to update dependencies 8 times, always on a Monday and always starting with security fixes. Want me to run it every week?

02Durable by default

Define once.
Run forever.

Design stateful workflows that survive restarts, scale elastically, and maintain full context across days, months, or years. Every step — agent, human, or system — runs inside a durable execution layer you can inspect, replay, and trust.

03How it works

How “your process” becomes infrastructure

Define once, run forever. HermitScale turns your business logic into durable, observable workflows.

Step 01 / 04

Model the workflow

Define your process as a durable state machine — with states, transitions, and branching logic that maps to how your business actually works.

Your words

1 sentence → 8 steps

When a refund is requested, check the order. If it’s over $500, get finance to approve; if they need more detail, check again. Then wait for Stripe to settle it and email the customer.

Step 02 / 04

Launch durable executions

Start workflows from any trigger — a webhook, a schedule, an inbound email. Each execution persists state from the first event and survives restarts, failures, and outages.

Step 03 / 04

Wait on agents, humans, and events

Workflows pause when the work requires it — for an agent to reason, a human to approve, or an external system to respond. Then they resume exactly where they left off.
