Mercury OS · Powered by Hermes

A working AI business, in a box.

Mercury OS is four production modules running as a class app on your own hardware, plus Railway hosting, MXroute email and Notion preloaded as Hermes skills so you can run the whole system yourself. 2-4 hours of live training with me so you actually know how to operate it. £1,495 founder setup, 14-21 days from an accepted install slot. You provide the hardware (a Mac mini, an NVIDIA Spark-class box, or a VPS) and you own everything that runs on it.

Pick what fits

One module or all four. Your call.

Each module is its own class app that installs on your hardware. You do not have to take all four. Most Mercury OS customers start with the module that costs them the most time today, get it working, and add the others later. Pricing is per-module, not all-or-nothing.

01 · Vereby

Customer enquiries answered around the clock, in your voice.

Web chat, WhatsApp and voice, configured for your brand and your knowledge base. You stay in the loop on anything that needs a human. Replaces missed calls, slow first replies and inconsistent answers, on the channels your customers already use.

02 · S0cial Master

Content research, drafting and scheduling, across the channels that matter.

Meta, Google, TikTok and LinkedIn, with drafts that sound like your business. Replaces the weekly content scramble, the blank-page moment before every post, and the analytics tab you keep meaning to open.

03 · Zoho Lead Engine

LinkedIn prospect search, scoring and first messages, wired to your CRM.

Prospects are scored against your own criteria, first messages are drafted in your voice, and qualified leads drop straight into your Zoho. Replaces manual prospecting, generic outreach, and a CRM that goes cold between campaigns.

04 · Hermes Agent

The orchestration layer every module runs on.

Hermes plans the work, monitors what is running, logs every action, and gives you one place to see and audit the system. When a model improves or a task changes, the swap is a config change, not a rewrite. Replaces a black-box AI you cannot audit, change, or hand to a colleague.

Start with the module that costs you the most time today. Add the rest when the first one is working. Hermes, training, handover and 30 days of email support come with every install.

What is in the box

Four modules, hosting, email, and Notion. Installed and configured.

The Mercury OS modules: Hermes Agent, Vereby, S0cial Master, and the Zoho Lead Engine. Each one is a class app scoped to your business. Plus the hosting layer (Railway), the email layer (MXroute), and a Notion workspace for your own project notes and client docs. All preloaded as Hermes skills. All configured for your business. All installed on your hardware during the 2-4 hours of training. You get your own instance of each module you take, not access to the live multi-tenant products we sell separately.

01 · Hermes Agent

One place to see, audit and change every workflow the system runs.

Hermes plans the work, monitors what is running, logs every action, and gives you a single pane to see what the modules are doing. When a model improves or a task changes, the swap is a config change, not a rewrite. Replaces a black-box AI you cannot audit, hand to a colleague, or evolve without a rebuild.

04 · Zoho Lead Engine

LinkedIn prospects found, scored and queued with first messages in your voice.

Prospects are scored against your own criteria, first messages are drafted in your brand voice, and qualified leads drop straight into your Zoho CRM. Replaces manual prospecting, generic outreach, and a CRM that goes cold between campaigns.

05 · Railway hosting

Railway hosting, preloaded as a Hermes skill.

Railway is set up as a preloaded Hermes skill so you can run the hosting layer yourself. You create the customer-side Railway account and own the project; the static website deploys to your own Railway, and the skill teaches you how to keep it running. Railway is paid directly by you, not by me.

06 · MXroute email

MXroute email, preloaded as a Hermes skill.

MXroute is set up as a preloaded Hermes skill so you can run the email layer yourself. You create the customer-side MXroute account and own it; up to three business mailboxes on your domain run on your own MXroute, and the skill teaches you how to manage them. MXroute is paid directly by you, not by me.

07 · Notion

Notion for project notes, client docs and SOPs.

A Hermes skill connected to your own Notion workspace, set up during the install. You write a proposal, dump a meeting transcript, or keep an internal SOP and Hermes can read and write the page directly. Notion is paid directly by you (the free tier is enough to start). One customer-side skill included in the install; more customer-side skills will be available as paid upgrades.

Also included

Training and handover.

I sit with you for 2-4 hours of live screen share so you know how to run Hermes, use each module, read the logs, update the system, run the Railway hosting and MXroute email using the preloaded skills, and add your own skills over time. You get a written handover document, 30 days of post-install email support (with up to three minor change requests included), and a voice-trained content assistant configured inside your own ChatGPT or Claude workspace, so your drafts sound like your business, not a generic AI. This is operator-side tooling; there is no customer-facing autonomous bot on your customers.

  • 2-4 hours of live training with Ted, covering Hermes basics, each module, logs, updates, the Railway hosting skill, the MXroute email skill and adding your own skills
  • Written handover document you can keep, share with your team, and refer back to
  • 30 days of post-install email support, with up to three minor change requests included
  • A bespoke website of up to five pages deployed to your Railway, with up to three business mailboxes on MXroute, essential SEO and analytics
  • A voice-trained content assistant configured inside your own ChatGPT or Claude workspace

Optional ongoing support after the first 30 days is £195 per month and is not required; the system stands on its own without it.

How the install works

Four steps. 14-21 days from an accepted install slot.

01

Sort the hardware or VPS.

You pick the kit. A Mac mini is the simplest entry point. An NVIDIA Spark-class box gives you more headroom for local models. A reputable VPS works too. I tell you what to order, what to avoid, and what the realistic running costs look like. If you already have a server class machine, you can use what you have.

02

Intake session and source material.

A short intake session to walk through your business, the way you actually work, and which surfaces need wiring up. You send through any source material you want the system to know about, and you create or hand over the accounts the install needs to touch (domain registrar, your Railway account, your MXroute account, Zoho, social platforms, workspace). I take it from there.

03

Install and configuration by Ted.

I install Hermes on your hardware, configure the four modules for your tenancy, scrape your brand voice from your site on day one, and wire the system into your existing accounts. Railway and MXroute come preloaded as Hermes skills so you can run the hosting and email layers yourself. You get a clean handoff of the machine, the configuration and the accounts you keep owning.

04

Training and handover.

2-4 hours of live screen share covering how to run Hermes, use each module, read logs, update the system, run the Railway hosting and MXroute email using the preloaded skills, and add your own skills over time. The written handover document is delivered alongside. 30 days of post-install email support begin with up to three minor change requests included.

Future modules

As I ship new Mercury OS modules, you get them at a discount.

Mercury OS is a growing system. As I ship new modules, the existing customer base gets them at a reduced rate. The specific discount for each new module is set when that module ships. You do not pay a subscription for access to future modules, and you are not asked to renew anything to keep the discount.

Pricing and ownership

£1,495 setup. You run the system yourself. You own everything.

Founder pricing while we onboard the first cohort. The first 10 Mercury OS customers pay £1,495 for the install, whichever modules they take (one, two, three or all four), the preloaded Hermes skills, and the 2-4 hours of live training and handover. From customer 11 the price rises to £1,995 for the same scope. There is no monthly fee from us. You run the system yourself, including the Railway hosting and MXroute email, both preloaded as Hermes skills. The combined Railway and MXroute subscriptions are estimated at roughly £5/month, paid directly by you. Optional ongoing support is £195 per month after the included 30 days, and is not required.

£1,495 founder setup £1,995 from customer 11 2-4 hours training included Optional £195/month support after 30 days

You provide the hardware (a Mac mini, an NVIDIA Spark-class box, or a VPS) and budget for it separately. You own the machine, the site, the domain, the content, the accounts, the brand profiles and the working documents from day one. You run it yourself; the £195/month optional support is off any month, and you keep every asset regardless.
