# Hermes (Echidna)
**A private, single-user AI assistant.**
Hermes is a personal automation assistant belonging to Bailey McCann. It is not a public product, it has no other users, and it is not licensed, distributed or sold to anyone else.
## What it does
Hermes connects to the owner's own Google Workspace account and carries out tasks on her behalf, such as:
- Reading documents in Google Drive, Docs and Sheets so it can summarise, rewrite or organise material she asks about
- Searching and reviewing Gmail, and drafting or sending replies she has approved
- Reading Google Calendar so her schedule and reminders stay accurate
- Reading Google Contacts to recognise the people a task involves
Every action is initiated by the owner, against her own account, for her own use. The assistant does not contact third parties without her explicit approval.
## Who can use it
One person: the owner. Access requests from anyone else are refused.
