About LightVela
LightVela is a personal Hermes Agent hosted in the cloud: it runs continuously in the cloud, users chat with it through the messaging channels they already use every day, and they choose models, channels, persona, and skills through a configuration console. You can simply tell it in natural language what to do and schedule it as recurring tasks (such as reminders and notifications), or generate a shareable website in one sentence—a site that can later be updated or taken offline remotely. It requires no server setup or local device maintenance on your part.
