+# Hosted AI Agent Platform — Future Project Candidate
+
+**Status:** Future Projects — Reference & Concept
+**Saved:** 2026-08-14

+
+## What it is
+
+AgentThread is Hermes (Nous Research's open-source agent — the same engine this box runs) repackaged as a hosted, multiplayer SaaS. Their own tagline: *"Hermes, now multiplayer and hosted."*
+
+- Each "space" is a **real Linux container running a full Hermes instance** — full shell, own files, own URL.
+- Discord-style chat + a live site-preview panel + instant deploy to a public URL (`reddit.agentthread.ai` in their demo).
+- Bring your own **Claude Code / Codex / local Hermes**; own API keys; per-space credit tracking.
+- **$100 of model credits free** to start, nothing to install.
+- Model listed as "GPT-5.6 Luna" (unverified — not yet investigated).
+
+## Why it matters to ITPP
+
+1. **Validation** — the open-source agent we self-host is now a launched SaaS. Proves "hosted agent" has a paying market.
+2. **The moat is hosting + UX + billing, not the agent** — the agent is MIT/free. We already run the same engine on netcup with our own keys.
+3. **Obstacles-as-products** — this is the exact shape of an "each client gets their own AI ops agent" offering.
+
+## Product angle (if we build it)
+
+- Managed "AI ops agent per client": each client/space gets a hosted Hermes container, chat UI, live URL, and a credit cap.
+- White-label, billed per-space, with baked-in budget management — we already have the LiteLLM virtual-key infra for per-tenant cost attribution.
+- Reuse: Hermes (open source), LiteLLM/admin-ai, netcup/app3 hosting, Wasabi backup pipeline, central auth.
+
+## Pricing pull (2026-08-14)
+
+- **No public pricing page.** `/pricing` and `/` serve the same landing page.
+- Only public number: "$100 of model credits on the house" + "Start building, free."
+- Tiers appear gated behind signup. Not yet investigated.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. Actual pricing tiers (behind signup).
+2. What is "GPT-5.6 Luna" — a Nous model or a hosted provider layer?
+3. Self-hosted cost-per-client comparison: our netcup + own keys vs. their markup.
