Map how your business actually works
Open-source business process discovery with Hermes Agent. Chat to map workflows, watch live diagrams build, and structure your operating model.
Why Hermes Forge
Conversation becomes a visual operating model — not another doc.
Live process diagrams
Chat with Hermes while Mermaid flowcharts build in the center. Correct the model as you go — no whiteboard required.
Multi-project workspace
One account, many projects. Each keeps its own workflows, chat history, and diagrams — fully isolated.
Hermes Agent native
Plug in your local Hermes instance. Background subagents handle diagramming and naming so conversation stays fast.
How it works
From chat to diagram in four steps
- 01
Create a project
Start blank — name and details emerge from conversation.
- 02
Chat the process
Describe triggers, steps, actors, and tools with Hermes.
- 03
Watch the diagram
A flowchart updates in the background as you answer.
- 04
Refine & export
Rename workflows, score automation potential, export knowledge.
