Claw-tech in
hermes3000.ai
How we built our agent primitives — memory, skills, chat, scheduled jobs — into our fastest-growing product.
An AI writing partner
for whole books
hermes3000.ai takes an author from blank page to finished manuscript — fiction or non-fiction. The model doesn't just autocomplete sentences; it holds the shape of the entire book as the author writes.
Doing that at book length needs more than a prompt. It needs persistent memory, reusable craft, conversation, and a habit loop — the same claw-tech primitives we run across HybridAI, specialized for long-form writing.
HybridAI · Hermes 300002
Launched in February. Fastest-growing thing we run.
HybridAI · Hermes 300003Four claw-tech primitives, wired into the writing flow
HybridAI · Hermes 300004Story memory
A Karpathy-style memory that keeps the inner structure of the book moving forward. After each chapter it summarizes, then aggregates into one evolving model the author never has to maintain by hand.
HybridAI · Hermes 300005Knowledge repository
For non-fiction, the second memory is an LLM-wiki. Authors add sources; the model organizes and aggregates them into working knowledge it can draw on — and cite — while writing.

HybridAI · Hermes 300006Writing skills
Craft as reusable, composable units. Each skill is a packaged transformation for text or image, activatable per book — and authors can create their own.
Show, don't tell · remove fillers · dialogue focus · resolve repetition.
HybridAI · Hermes 300007Chat with the book
A side-panel conversation that shares the book's context. It answers from the manuscript and the story memory — not a generic model — so its replies stay true to the world the author is building.
HybridAI · Hermes 300008Scheduled jobs
A daily cron writes each author a motivation email — but it's not a template. It joins the goal they set with the LLM's knowledge of exactly where they stopped, and proposes ways to pick the thread back up.

HybridAI · Hermes 300009The email it writes you
Every morning's mail is generated per writer — never a template. It greets them by name, reports the streak and goal, then does the part that actually works: it recaps the scene they last wrote and asks what happens next.

What works — and what doesn't
Claw-tech can power a B2C product for non-technical users with real success — as long as you never make them touch the raw machinery to get something running.
- The primitives deliver genuine value once wrapped in product UI — growth followed.
- Writers adopt memory, skills, chat and cron without ever naming them.
- Power shows up as a button at the right moment, not a setting to find.
- Raw claw-tech in the user's face — editing
config.jsonor.mdfiles to make it work. - Any first step that reads like a developer task rather than a writing one.
- Capability exposed as configuration instead of an in-product action.
HybridAI · Hermes 300012A 100-page book on HybridClaw — written in an hour
We pointed Hermes at our own GitHub repo, let the knowledge repository ingest it, ran the writing skills, and exported a polished EPUB — cover and all. Every primitive in this deck, in one run.
