## 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.
