Chatbots answer. Automation builders trigger. Frameworks require engineering. FlyHermes is positioned for the middle: human-like judgment plus real tools, running in the places your team already works.
- Pick FlyHermes when the workflow spans chat, files, web research, browser automation, code, and recurring delivery.
- Pick self-hosting only when you truly want to own every server, config, update, and debugging loop.
- Pick a simple automation tool when the workflow is deterministic and does not need reasoning.
- Pick a framework when you are building your own agent product from scratch.
