We Built Hermetic AI to Automate Business Workflows Using Real AI (Not Just Fancy IF Statements)

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋
We’re the founders of Hermetic AI, and after months of building, testing, and iterating, we're excited to finally share it with you.

Hermetic is a SaaS tool that lets teams automate complex workflows using LLMs (like GPT-4) — think internal document processing, smart routing, email classification, or multi-step decision chains — all without needing to code.

💡 Why We Built It

We were tired of:

  • Zapier-style tools that don’t scale

  • "AI" tools that just wrap OpenAI with a pretty UI

  • Endless manual tasks that should be automated but weren’t

So we built Hermetic AI — a workflow engine powered by actual AI agents, not just rules.


⚙️ What Hermetic AI Can Do:

  • Analyze & summarize large documents

  • Extract structured data from messy PDFs or emails

  • Route customer tickets based on tone, priority, or content

  • Automate follow-up logic using context

  • Plug into Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Sheets, etc.

We’re targeting ops teams, analysts, marketers, and startup founders who want less grunt work, more scale.


🔍 What Makes It Different:

  • Built-in LLM logic: Not just “if/then” rules

  • Customizable memory and context windows

  • Real-time logs + observability

  • Privacy-first (we don’t train on your data)


🧪 Currently in:

✅ Public Beta
💬 Actively looking for feedback
📈 Already powering teams automating 50+ hours/month of work


🙏 How You Can Help:

  • Try it out → https://www.hermetic.ai

  • Let us know what you’d automate first

  • Drop your honest feedback — what works, what doesn’t

  • Ask us anything about building an AI automation engine from scratch

Thanks so much — we’ve learned so much from this community and we’d love to give back!

    "Not just fancy IF statements" is the right instinct, and document extraction plus ticket routing are exactly the lanes where LLM logic actually beats rules. The gap I would push on, since you are asking for honest feedback: everything you listed assumes the input arrives somewhere you can reach — an inbox, a PDF, a Slack message, an API. A large share of real ops work does not. It arrives inside a vendor portal, a courier admin panel, or a marketplace backend with no integration and no export. Hermetic classifies and routes beautifully; the human still has to go fetch the thing first. I have been building OpenAmer for that layer — an open-source agent that runs on your own machine and drives a real browser in the background, so the browser-only steps get handled rather than left as manual fetch work. Repo here if you want to poke at it: https://github.com/openamer/openamer Also curious how you handle the privacy claim in practice when a customer's document has to leave their network. That is the question that killed a few deals for me: "we do not train on your data" is reassuring, but "it never leaves the building" is what actually closes.

    This looks like the real deal, love that you're going beyond pretty wrappers and actually building logic-powered automation. That “no more fancy IF statements” line hit hard 😂

    Curious to know how customizable is the memory/context window across workflows?

    Also, I help early-stage founders grow post-launch and get leads fasrer. Built a Marketing Starter Kit that might be a great fit for tools like Hermetic. Want me to send over more details?
