Preloop vs Hermex

Preloop is the human approval layer for autonomous AI agents. When your agents attempt risky actions like deployments, refunds, or data changes, Preloop intercepts the request and routes it to you for approval right on your iPhone or Apple Watch. The right people in your organization get instant notifications with full context, approve or decline with one tap, while your organization maintains a complete audit trail for compliance. Preloop enables event-driven automation through Agentic Flows - let AI agents handle routine work automatically while you control critical decisions. Setup takes 3 minutes as an MCP proxy, works with Claude and Cursor, and requires no infrastructure changes. Risk-based policies ensure only high-stakes actions need approval while low-risk operations run automatically. AI agents can't take legal or moral responsibility for their actions - Preloop ensures humans stay in control. Perfect for engineering teams, DevOps, and anyone deploying autonomous AI in production. Enterprise-ready, designed for SOC2 compliance, role-based access, and secure end-to-end encryption.

Hermex is a native iPhone client for your self-hosted Hermes Agent server. It is designed for people who already run a reachable Hermes Web UI server and want a focused mobile way to keep up with agent work from iPhone. Connect to your own server, open existing sessions, start new conversations, and follow streamed responses as they arrive. Manage Kanban boards and cards, review status-focused work, update workflows, add comments, inspect history, and preview or launch Dispatcher runs. The app also supports model/profile/reasoning controls, file and photo attachments, workspace file browsing, tasks, skills, memory, usage details, and a share extension for staging content from other iOS apps. Agent execution happens on the configured Hermes server, not on the iPhone. Prompts, attachments, shared content, workspace requests, board and card actions, and session actions are sent only to the server URL you enter. Recent sessions and messages may be cached locally for offline read-only viewing, and the cache can be cleared from Settings. Hermex does not provide a hosted Hermes backend, in-app account creation, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. You need your own reachable Hermes Web UI server to use the app. Not affiliated with Nous Research.
