# SEAOTTER

> Open source agentic infrastructure, made simple. Managed plane on seaotter.dev (not seaotter.ai). Hermes is live today. Isolated agents and fleets without a VPS, installer, or SSH.

Create, poll, and run Hermes agents on Google Cloud. Typical provisioning time is a few minutes. Isolation, TLS, backups, and lifecycle APIs are included. Talk to a hosted agent from Claude, Cursor, or Codex via MCP.
