For this project, Milestone 1 should focus on delivering a working AI assistant, not just installing software Milestone 1: Production-Ready Hermes AI Assistant with WhatsApp & Google Calendar Objective Deploy a fully functional Hermes AI assistant on my Hostinger VPS that can communicate through WhatsApp and securely access my Google Calendar. This milestone is considered complete only when the complete workflow has been successfully demonstrated. Deliverables VPS & Infrastructure Ubuntu LTS installed and updated Docker and Docker Compose installed Hermes Agent installed Hermes Gateway installed Automatic startup after reboot Firewall configured HTTPS/SSL configured (if applicable) WhatsApp Integration WhatsApp successfully linked using the Hermes WhatsApp Gateway Incoming WhatsApp messages received by Hermes Hermes replies successfully via WhatsApp Access restricted to approved phone numbers only Google Calendar Integration Hermes must be able to: Read my Google Calendar Check my availability Find free time slots Read event date and time Create calendar events Update existing events (if authorized) Functional Demonstration The freelancer must demonstrate that Hermes can complete the following tasks through WhatsApp: Reply to a WhatsApp message. Answer: "What is on my calendar today?" Answer: "Am I free tomorrow at 3 PM?" Create a calendar event from a WhatsApp message. Read a message such as: "Meeting with John next Friday at 2 PM." and correctly extract the date and time before creating the calendar event (after confirmation, if configured). Documentation Provide: Docker Compose files Environment (.env) configuration guide Backup instructions Recovery instructions User guide for operating Hermes Complete list of installed components Acceptance Criteria Milestone 1 will be accepted only when: Hermes starts automatically after a VPS reboot. WhatsApp communication is fully functional. Google Calendar integration works correctly. The complete demonstration is successful. Documentation has been delivered. All credentials remain under my ownership. Mandatory Freelancer Experience Applicants must have proven experience with: Hermes AI (preferred) or a comparable AI-agent platform Docker and Docker Compose Linux VPS administration WhatsApp integration (WhatsApp Web, Baileys, or WhatsApp Business API) Google Calendar API and OAuth Server security and deployment Please provide links, case studies, repositories, or client reviews demonstrating similar completed projects. One important thing: Since this task is to use WhatsApp as primary interface, I'd require the freelancer to demonstrate these real-world conversations before Milestone 1 is considered complete: "What's on my calendar today?" "Am I free tomorrow at 3 PM?" "Book a meeting with John next Friday at 2 PM." "Cancel tomorrow's 10 AM meeting." "List my meetings this week." If Hermes can successfully handle these end-to-end through WhatsApp, you'll have a solid foundation. Milestone 2 can then build on this by adding Gmail, followed by WordPress and other integrations.

You need Hermes running on your Hostinger VPS so it answers WhatsApp messages and reads/creates Google Calendar events end to end - I build exactly this. I shipped pVara, an autonomous agent that uses tools (calendar, search, messaging) to finish real tasks unattended, plus a production Twilio/WhatsApp bank assistant. So the WhatsApp Gateway link, approved-number allowlist, and Google Calendar OAuth (availability, free slots, create/update events) are familiar ground. Approach: Ubuntu LTS + Docker Compose on the VPS -> Hermes Agent + Gateway with auto-restart, UFW, SSL -> link WhatsApp, restrict to approved numbers -> Calendar OAuth scopes -> demo all four test tasks live before Milestone 1 closes. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/ZohaibSathio. Is the VPS already provisioned with root/SSH, or should I include initial server setup? - Zohaib, AI Engineer (Voice AI, Autonomous Agents, RAG)

Hello, This is exactly the kind of integration where the hidden risk is not the AI itself, but making WhatsApp, calendar permissions, and VPS reliability work together cleanly. I’ve built and deployed PHP/Python-based automations, VPS services, API integrations, and Dockerized systems, and I can help you turn Hermes into a stable assistant that responds through WhatsApp, reads Google Calendar, and runs automatically on reboot. I’ll set up the Hostinger VPS, Docker Compose stack, WhatsApp gateway, OAuth-based Google Calendar access, and the security controls for approved numbers only. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. I can also prepare the documentation you listed so recovery, backups, and future integrations stay simple. If you want, I can start by validating the Hermes flow end-to-end for your required WhatsApp conversations, then move to hardening and handover. Do you already have Hermes installed on the VPS, or should I handle the full deployment from Ubuntu setup through WhatsApp and Google Calendar OAuth? Best regards, Asad

Hi — I can deliver Milestone 1 as a working assistant, not just installed software. On your Hostinger VPS I will set up Ubuntu LTS, Docker + Docker Compose, install Hermes Agent and Gateway with auto-start on reboot, firewall and HTTPS/SSL, then wire the WhatsApp channel and a secure Google Calendar OAuth connection — and demonstrate the full end-to-end workflow live before we call it done. I run Linux/Docker deployments and AI-agent integrations regularly (FOXAF). I will hand over a documented, reproducible compose stack so you can maintain it. — Muhammad Idrees / Global IT Vision Pvt.

I understand the importance of developing a fully functional Hermes AI assistant integrated with WhatsApp and Google Calendar. Setting up Docker Compose on your Hostinger VPS with Ubuntu LTS will be my first step. I'll ensure Hermes starts automatically and is secured with proper firewall rules and SSL configuration. Linking WhatsApp through the Hermes gateway will enable seamless communication and tasks such as reading your calendar and handling meetings. I'll also create easy-to-follow documentation including Docker Compose files and user guides to facilitate smooth operation. What are your primary expectations for the workflow demonstration of Hermes? Could you clarify if there are any preferred libraries for WhatsApp integration? What is the expected timeline for demonstration of milestones? Will you need ongoing maintenance support after deployment? Are there specific security measures you would like implemented?

Deploying a production-ready Hermes AI assistant with WhatsApp and Google Calendar integration on your Hostinger VPS is a complex task that requires expertise in multiple areas. My background as a backend developer with experience in Python (Django/FastAPI), Docker, Linux, CI/CD, and various APIs makes me well-suited for this project. I have successfully led development teams and managed product roadmaps, ensuring that projects are completed on time and to high standards. For instance, I recently migrated a Laravel 5.7 app to Laravel 10 across four major versions, handling breaking changes carefully to minimize downtime. This experience will be invaluable in setting up the infrastructure and automating startup processes. Regarding WhatsApp integration, I have experience with both WhatsApp Web and Baileys libraries, which are essential for building reliable messaging applications. For Google Calendar integration, I am familiar with the Google Calendar API and OAuth, ensuring secure access to user data. To demonstrate my understanding of this specific project, can you provide more details on any existing integrations or configurations that need to be considered?

Hi, The tricky part here isn't Docker Compose or the Google Calendar API — it's getting WhatsApp communication fully functional reliably, since Baileys-based gateways can drop sessions after a few days on a VPS without proper process supervision. Here's how I'd approach Milestone 1: - Ubuntu LTS + Docker and Docker Compose with systemd restart policies so Hermes starts automatically after reboot - Hermes Gateway linked via Baileys, with approved phone numbers whitelist enforced at the gateway level - Google Calendar integration via OAuth with a service account or offline refresh token (so it doesn't break when your browser session expires) - HTTPS/SSL via Caddy or Nginx reverse proxy - Full .env configuration guide + backup and recovery instructions I've deployed production Python services on Ubuntu VPS environments with Docker Compose and integrated Google OAuth flows, so the infrastructure side is straightforward for me. One question: do you want event creation to require a WhatsApp confirmation reply before committing to the calendar, or should Hermes create immediately on parsing the message?

Hi there, Docker-based AI agent deployments on Linux VPS with WhatsApp and Google Calendar integration is exactly this kind of stack I work with - and I understand your acceptance criteria: the demo conversations must work end-to-end before milestone 1 closes. I'll provision your Hostinger VPS with Ubuntu LTS, set up Docker Compose with Hermes Agent and Hermes Gateway as containerised services, configure systemd so everything restarts automatically on reboot, and lock down the firewall with only required ports exposed. SSL via Let's Encrypt if a domain is pointed. WhatsApp gets linked via the Hermes Gateway using Baileys, with an approved-number allowlist so only your number can trigger the agent. Google Calendar connects via OAuth2 - you authorise once through Google's consent screen and credentials stay entirely under your control. I'll run the full five-conversation demo live with you: today's calendar, free slot check, event creation with date parsing, cancellation, and weekly listing - all through WhatsApp before I mark anything complete. Handover includes Docker Compose files, annotated .env guide, backup and recovery steps, and a plain-English user guide. What's your VPS spec and do you already have a domain pointed to it? I am available at anytime for discussing the project. Looking forward to working with you.

Rough numbers above are placeholders for now. We'll sharpen the price and timeline once we've confirmed a few details about your VPS setup and any existing Hermes config. You want a production-ready Hermes AI assistant running on your Hostinger VPS, fully wired to WhatsApp and Google Calendar, and able to handle real calendar tasks through natural conversation. The acceptance bar here is sensibly strict: auto-start after reboot, approved-number-only WhatsApp access, and a live demonstration covering queries, availability checks and event creation from a plain-text message. We've done similar AI agent deployments and we know the tricky part isn't the install, it's making the demo actually work reliably. Here's how we'd approach this: - VPS setup: Fresh Ubuntu LTS, Docker and Docker Compose installed clean, firewall rules locked down, SSL configured via Let's Encrypt so the gateway endpoint is HTTPS from day one. - Hermes Agent and Gateway: Both deployed as Docker Compose services with restart-always policies so they survive reboots without any manual intervention. - WhatsApp link and access control: Gateway connected to your WhatsApp, incoming message routing tested end-to-end, approved-number whitelist configured so random messages don't reach Hermes. - Google Calendar OAuth: OAuth2 flow set up against your Google account with the right scopes (read, freebusy, event create/update), token refresh handled so the connection doesn't expire mid-demo. - NLP event parsing: We'll make sure Hermes can extract date and time from natural language like "Meeting with John next Friday at 2 PM" and confirm before writing to the calendar. We'll also put together full documentation covering the Docker Compose files, .env guide, backup steps and a short user guide for day-to-day operation. After a quick chat to confirm your VPS access details and any existing setup, we'll send a proper proposal with milestones and a firm price. Want to jump on a short call this week to walk through it?

Hey, the tricky bit here isn't the Docker setup or Calendar OAuth — it's WhatsApp. The Baileys-based gateways Hermes uses operate in a grey zone and sessions drop without warning, so the real test is keeping that link stable on a VPS long-term, not just for a demo. I'd handle that by running the gateway with a persistent volume and a watchdog restart policy so reconnects are automatic. The Calendar event extraction is where most implementations stumble — parsing "next Friday at 2 PM" reliably needs a solid NLP step before the API call. Are you set on Hermes specifically, or open to a comparable agent stack if it handles the WhatsApp stability better?

**Proposal:** Your goal is clear — a working Hermes AI assistant on WhatsApp that handles your calendar, not just a server setup. I build production-ready AI automation systems using n8n and API integrations, with hands-on experience deploying on Linux VPS using Docker and Docker Compose. I've built systems that handle real conversations, extract intent from natural language, and connect to external APIs like Google Calendar — the same core components this project needs. For Milestone 1, I'll handle the full stack: VPS setup, Docker deployment, WhatsApp integration via Hermes Gateway, Google Calendar OAuth, and the complete functional demonstration you described — "What's on my calendar today?", "Am I free tomorrow at 3 PM?", "Book a meeting with John next Friday at 2 PM." — all working end-to-end through WhatsApp before I consider it done. All credentials stay under your ownership. Full documentation delivered with every component listed. I've previously built an AI recruitment system handling thousands of automated interactions and a crypto trading bot executing real-time decisions via API — both production-ready, both shipped. Ready to start immediately.

Hi, I can deliver Milestone 1 as a working Hermes AI assistant, not just a basic server installation. My approach would be: 1. Set up the Hostinger VPS properly with Ubuntu LTS, Docker, Docker Compose, firewall rules, auto-start after reboot, and SSL/HTTPS where required. 2. Deploy Hermes Agent and Hermes Gateway using clean Docker Compose configuration. 3. Connect WhatsApp as the primary interface and restrict access to approved phone numbers only. 4. Configure Google Calendar API/OAuth securely under your ownership. 5. Enable Hermes to read calendar events, check availability, find free slots, create events, update events where authorized, and cancel meetings. 6. Test the exact WhatsApp conversations you listed: * “What’s on my calendar today?” * “Am I free tomorrow at 3 PM?” * “Book a meeting with John next Friday at 2 PM.” * “Cancel tomorrow’s 10 AM meeting.” * “List my meetings this week.” I will only consider the milestone complete when the full WhatsApp → Hermes → Google Calendar workflow is demonstrated end-to-end. I can also provide Docker Compose files, .env setup guide, backup/recovery instructions, installed components list, and a simple user guide so you can manage the system long-term. For Google Calendar OAuth, I can either use your existing Google Cloud project or help you configure the Calendar API and OAuth credentials under your own account so all credentials remain fully under your ownership.
