Common questions
Hermes Agent vs Narwhal, without the spin.
How is Narwhal different from Hermes Agent?
Hermes is an open-source agent framework with persistent memory and reusable skills. Narwhal is a managed B2B operating system with prospecting, customer records, approvals, and work surfaces already assembled.
Do I need technical expertise to use Narwhal?
No. Narwhal manages the agent runtime and integrations for you. Your team connects its tools and works in plain language instead of installing and maintaining an agent stack.
Can Narwhal replace our Hermes Agent setup?
Yes when you want a managed system for recurring customer and back-office work. Hermes remains a strong fit for technical teams that want to own the code, model routing, hosting, and agent configuration.
What happens to our existing CRM and company data?
Narwhal connects directly to your business systems and keeps the resulting customer context in structured records. The CRM remains a system of record while Narwhal coordinates the work around it.
How does implementation time compare?
Narwhal removes the hosting and framework setup. Connect your core systems, approve the first routines, and expand from working B2B operations rather than assembling the infrastructure first.
