Mission control for an AI agent fleet.

BOB Mission Control is the command center we built to run our own five-agent AI fleet: a live cockpit, a walkable 3D command floor, long-term memory and cost-aware model routing. It runs 24/7 on desktop, tablet, phone and a kitchen smart display. We use it every day.

The challenge

A chat window is not a control room.

Once you run more than one agent, a chat box stops being enough. You need to see who is working on what, what it costs, what the system remembers and whether a "done" is actually done. And you need that on every screen you own, not just your laptop.

The approach

One cockpit. Every agent. Every screen.

  • A single command deck that talks directly to the agent runtime. Real tools, not mock-ups.
  • Specialist agents with their own personality, model and skill set, chained in handoff pipelines.
  • Memory you can actually see and edit: wiki, vector store and soul files in one place.
  • Cost visibility and model routing built in from day one.
  • One codebase, four device classes, one brand system.

Engine & universe

Hermes is the engine. The Bobiverse is ours.

We build on the open-source Hermes Agent runtime, because a solid engine is a solved problem. Everything that turns that engine into a product your team wants to use, we designed and built ourselves.

Foundation · Hermes Agent

The engine

Agent runtime, tool execution, sessions, messaging gateway, skills and cron scheduling.

Inside Mission Control

Fifteen workspaces, one system.

A tour of the most important modules, all captured from the live system. Click any screen to enlarge it.

01 // COCKPIT

Executive Cockpit

A customisable bento dashboard with a reactive voice core, live server telemetry, calendar, weather, tasks and location. It's the first screen of the day, on any device.

16 bento widgetsLight & darkLive data

For your teamA single morning view across your tools, KPIs and agents.

02 // FLEET

Multi-agent fleet & handoffs

One orchestrator, four specialists. Each runs on the model that fits its job, with its own skills and a shared dropzone. Work moves through sequential handoff pipelines, from research to campaign to blueprint to ops.

Mixture-of-models routingLive persona editor

For your teamAgents for research, content, QA and operations that hand work to each other like a real team.

03 // 3D

THE VIRT, a walkable 3D command floor

A real-time Three.js office where every agent has a desk, a path-finding avatar and a live status, from the sky-bridge down to the meeting table. Tap an agent to inspect it, send it an order or hold to talk to it. Live handoffs between agents play out as walks across the floor.

For your teamComplex automation made visible, for demos, stakeholders and day-to-day monitoring.

04 // MEMORY

Living Codex & visual memory

The fleet's long-term memory as an explorable 3D graph: curated wiki pages merged with semantic vector memories. Every link is labelled as an extracted fact or an inferred connection, so you always know what the system knows and what it guesses.

165 facts · 229 inferencesFact vs. inferenceSelf-hosted vectors

For your teamA company knowledge base your AI can cite, and your people can audit.

05 // COST

Token economy & model routing

Spend per agent, per model and per day, with runway, monthly guardrails and cache savings. Routing each task to the cheapest model that can do it is why the whole fleet spent under two dollars on models in October.

72% cache hitsBudget guardrailsCost simulator

For your teamAI you can put in a budget, with no surprise invoices.

06 // VOICE

Voice core & broadcasts

Talk to the fleet hands-free, or fire one-click voice broadcasts to any speaker in the house. Every generated line is cached on the server, so a replay costs zero tokens and starts instantly.

Speech in & out200+ one-click tiles$0 replays

For your teamVoice interfaces for shop floors, front desks and hands-busy workflows.

07 // AUTOMATION

Skills, cron & telemetry

Toggle skills, schedule recurring agent jobs and follow every session and log line from one place. Kanban cards only count as done once there's a real tool or session proof behind them.

103 skillsScheduled agentsEvidence-gated Kanban

For your teamRecurring work that runs on its own, with an audit trail.

08 // BODY

BOB MK-II digital twin & motion lab

A 1:1 3D twin of BOB's robot head, built from the real CAD data with all 24 hardware parts in place. Test turn, nod and tilt with sliders, preview the eye's states and moods, and send a pose straight to the robot once it's online.

For your teamDigital twins for hardware projects: test the motion before you build.

The Bobiverse fleet

Five agents. Five jobs. One crew.

Each agent has its own personality, model and skill set, and writes its results to a shared dropzone so the next one can build on them.
