01BTHE OPTIONAL READY-TO-GO EDITION

Mnemes, assembled.
You still own it.

Mnemes Node R1 is a proposed built-to-order appliance for people who lack suitable hardware or prefer a configured system. It runs the same Mnemes server you can install yourself, plus Hermes, bounded onboard AI, visible operating state, and a portable-power target.

SOFTWARE FIRST

You do not need
this box.

Mnemes is the personal agent memory server. Install it on your own Linux hardware and you keep the same software, memory engine, device model, and routed-search surface.

What Node R1 adds

  • Suitable compact hardware selected for you
  • Mnemes and Hermes configured before arrival
  • Visible status, onboard utilities, and battery integration

It does not create a higher-quality memory tier. It removes assembly and setup work.

01 / THE OPERATOR INSTRUMENT

Not another invisible
background service.

The matrix and status surface turn memory, agent, network, model, and battery conditions into something the operator can see. Explore representative states below.

Concept interface based on the founder-reported personal prototype as of July 2026. Enclosure, onboarding flow, battery, and final shipped configuration remain subject to revision.

02 / INTENDED CUSTOM BUILD

Configured before
it reaches you.

The offer is not a requirement for Mnemes. It is the same server software assembled around the operator’s model provider, network boundary, devices, and intended agent work.

01

Mnemes, preinstalled

The same self-hostable server software configured around one explicit data, device, and network boundary.

02

Agent shell

Hermes Agent available through a secure shell and terminal UI for tools, scheduled work, and operator-directed jobs.

03

Small local model

Qwen3.5 0.8B for bounded onboard utilities such as rewording, simplifying, and synthesizing display information.

04

Visible state

A blue matrix display and compact status surface for memory, agent, network, fault, and power conditions.

05

Portable power

Rechargeable battery in the 2500–4000 mAh design range, with final capacity selected after measured endurance and thermal testing.

06

First connection

A guided Bluetooth or temporary Wi-Fi access-point flow is being evaluated for initial setup.

03 / TWO COMPUTE BOUNDARIES

Small local intelligence.
Full agent capability.

The onboard model and the full agent have different jobs. Keeping that separation visible prevents an edge utility model from being marketed as something it is not.

founder-reported local utilityQWEN3.5 0.8B

Fast, bounded local work

Summarize a status event. Reword a display message. Compress a health explanation. Produce a useful label without making a cloud request.

  • display synthesis
  • status simplification
  • small local transforms
Official Qwen model card ↗
operator-configured providerHERMES AGENT

The full terminal agent

Hermes handles tools, projects, schedules, and longer workflows through a user-supplied cloud API, supported OAuth path, or a separate local endpoint with sufficient context.

  • secure-shell TUI
  • cron and scheduled jobs
  • tools, skills, and memory
Hermes Agent source ↗

Hermes currently requires at least a 64K context window. The onboard 0.8B utility model is not presented as the default full Hermes reasoning model.

04 / BASE PLATFORM

A Linux computer.
A real-time controller.
One compact board.

The 4 GB UNO Q combines a Debian-capable Qualcomm application processor, an STM32 real-time microcontroller, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the bridge between both compute domains.

05 / CLAIMS WITH EDGES

Prototype energy.
No vaporware grammar.

The founder reports a working personal deployment as of July 2026. The repeatable product configuration is still early, and the report is not presented as an independent certification. Those boundaries are intentionally shown side by side.

01

FOUNDER-REPORTED PROTOTYPE

As reported by the founder in July 2026, Mnemes runs on the personal UNO Q deployment; onboard status display and small-model utility tasks are in active personal use. This is not an independent certification.

02

PLANNED BUILD

A repeatable enclosure, guided first connection, preconfigured Hermes environment, and battery integration are still being productized.

03

NOT YET CLAIMED

No fixed price, ship date, production certification, final battery capacity, measured all-day endurance, or mass-manufacturing commitment.

EARLY CUSTOM-BUILD INTEREST

Tell me what your
memory node should do.

I am exploring a small number of custom builds before treating this like a formal product. The useful conversation is about your devices, agent, model provider, local-network boundary, scheduled work, and display needs.
