Work comes in
Recurring admin, operations, or sales tasks
Hermes does the preparation
Using your rules, systems, and company knowledge
Your team stays in control
Human approval before external or consequential action

Best fit
More repeatable work than spare hands.
Built around recurring admin, operations, or sales work—not a particular industry or company size. Discovery determines whether your first workflow is a good fit.
- Inbox triage
- CRM updates
- Lead research
- Document prep
- Recurring reports
- Operations follow-up
How the engagement works
A step-by-step path from discovery to managed service. Each step earns the next, and you continue only when the previous step proves its value.
- Stage 1
AI Discovery Workshop
$7503–4 hours with your teamWe pair your domain expertise with AI workflow mapping to identify the right first use case, define human approvals, and surface integration risks before anything is built.
You receive a written AI Discovery & Pilot Plan covering scope, approvals, integrations and risks, and the success metric—and you keep it either way.
- Stage 2
Hermes Agent Setup & Installation
$1,500one-time setupWe install and configure Hermes in your client-funded hosting environment—runtime and model settings, credentials and access, company knowledge, logging, monitoring, backups, and security controls.
A secured installation is running and ready for its first workflow.
- Stage 3
First Workflow + 30-Day Pilot
$2,000–3,000scoped by complexityWe build one workflow across 2–3 systems with company knowledge and logic, human approvals, testing and onboarding, then run it live for 30 days with weekly adjustments.
One measurable workflow runs in production and is assessed against the agreed success metric.
- Stage 4
Managed AI Coworker
$750/monthmaintenance + managed operationsWe maintain and manage the existing deployment with Hermes, software, and dependency updates; deployment and core-service failure monitoring; backup and routine security/configuration checks; and troubleshooting, restart/restore, and basic operational support.
Your existing deployment is maintained and monitored for 24/7 operation. Hosting, AI usage, third-party services, and new workflow development are billed separately.
Control by design
You decide how much autonomy your coworker gets.
Internal preparation can run automatically. Sending, publishing, changing records, or other consequential actions wait for a person by default.
- 01
AI prepares
Research, drafts, summaries, and internal updates
- 02
Your team reviews
Context and quality stay visible
- 03
A human approves
The default for consequential actions
- 04
Work moves forward
The action runs with a clear audit trail
Cost and capacity
Add capacity without adding a salary for every workflow.
Suitable, repeatable digital workflows can run across functions in parallel while your people retain judgment, relationships, accountability, and consequential approvals.

Then $750/month
Ongoing maintenance and management of the existing deployment. Hosting, AI usage, third-party services, and new workflow development are billed separately.
Hiring-comparison examples
One AI coworker can grow across multiple functions.
As suitable digital workflows are implemented over time, they can run concurrently. Example functions and capabilities include:
Sales
Lead intake & follow-up drafts
Admin
Inbox & admin triage
Revenue operations
CRM updates & reporting
Documents
Extraction & preparation
Operations
Checks & reminders
Customer support
Request triage, response drafts & knowledge lookup
Scope note: These are examples of potential functions—not six workflows included in the service price. The initial engagement includes one workflow pilot. You may build and manage future workflows yourself, with no lock-in. Additional workflows or integrations built by DonvitoCodes are separately scoped and quoted.
Hiring-comparison advantages
- Parallel task execution
- Maintained for 24/7 operation
- Global queue coverage across time zones
Implemented workflows extend coverage beyond one working schedule.
A human team member normally works a defined schedule and has finite capacity for concurrent tasks. By comparison, once implemented and approved, suitable AI workflows can run in parallel around the clock across time zones to help cover global client queues—without adding another salary for every shift or region. External or consequential actions still require human approval by default, and operation remains subject to provider availability.

Frequently asked questions
Questions before you get started.
What is a managed AI coworker?
It is an AI system built around your recurring work. DonvitoCodes finds the right workflow, installs and configures Hermes Agent, builds the first workflow, and manages it after launch.
Is the managed AI coworker limited to a specific industry or company size?
No. It is designed around repeatable admin, operations, or sales work across industries and company sizes. Discovery determines whether your workflow is a good fit.
Why does the paid AI Discovery Workshop come first?
It turns an idea into a written plan covering the workflow, human approvals, integrations, risks, success metric, and pilot scope. The recommendation may be to proceed, prepare first, or not automate.
Do we need to manage infrastructure or Hermes Agent?
DonvitoCodes handles the initial technical setup and ongoing maintenance and monitoring of the deployment. You fund hosting, infrastructure, storage, bandwidth, AI usage, and paid third-party services separately.
What does the $750/month managed-service fee include?
$750/month for ongoing maintenance and management of your AI coworker. Hosting, AI usage, third-party services, and new workflow development are billed separately. Included work: Hermes, software, and dependency updates; Deployment and core-service monitoring, including failure monitoring; Backup checks and routine security/configuration maintenance; Troubleshooting, restart/restore, and basic operational support to keep the existing system running. Separate client costs: Hosting, infrastructure, storage, and bandwidth; AI model/API credits and metered AI services; Paid third-party software and APIs; New workflows, major workflow redesigns, new integrations, and custom development.
What are the founding prices and usage costs?
Founding pricing is $750 for discovery, $1,500 for Hermes installation and deployment configuration, and $2,000–$3,000 for the first workflow and 30-day pilot ($4,250–$5,250 initially). For the first six months, the maintenance and managed-operations rate is $750/month; hosting, AI usage, third-party services, and new development are separate.
How much autonomy does the AI coworker have?
You choose. Internal preparation can run automatically, while sending, publishing, changing records, and other consequential actions require human approval by default.
Can we add workflows later, and is there another setup fee?
Yes. The initial engagement includes one workflow pilot. You can build and manage future workflows yourself, with no lock-in. If DonvitoCodes builds additional workflows or integrations, they are separately scoped and quoted, with no second Hermes setup fee.
What work would you give someone first?
