🦅 Hermes: Self-Healing Autonomous Support Agent

Cyber Cypher 5.0 - Advanced Track Submission

Hermes is an Agentic AI System designed to bridge the visibility gap in headless commerce. It functions as an autonomous Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) swarm, capable of classifying signals, diagnosing root causes through RAG-grounded reasoning, and implementing fixes with human-in-the-loop safety.

🚀 The Problem

Modern headless commerce migrations (e.g., Shopify to React/Medusa) are complex. A single API mismatch or configuration drift can break checkout for thousands of users. Human support teams are often reactive, spending hours on:

1. Triage: Manually reading logs to categorize the error.
2. Context Loading: Searching through fragmented documentation.
3. Diagnosis: Forming hypotheses without full system visibility.
4. Resolution: Implementing changes that might lack an audit trail.

Hermes resolves these incidents in under 120 seconds.

💡 The Solution: Agent Swarm Architecture

Hermes utilizes an Observe-Reason-Decide-Act (OODA) loop powered by a specialized swarm of Google Gemini agents:

🧠 The Swarm

• ⚡ Orchestrator (Gemini 1.5 Flash): High-speed intake and triage. Filters signals and routes to specialized analysts.
• 🔍 Diagnostician (Gemini 1.5 Pro): The "Detective." Performs Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) over documentation to form grounded hypotheses.
• 🩹 Healer (Gemini 1.5 Pro): The "Surgeon." Proposes executable SQL/JSON patches.
• 🛡️ Human-in-the-Loop: High-risk actions require an SRE's digital signature for execution.

⚡ Quick Start (Setup in 5 Minutes)

1. Requirements

• Python 3.10+ & Node.js 18+
• Google Gemini API Key
• PostgreSQL URL (with pgvector support - Supabase is recommended)

2. Basic Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/hackathon-spec.git
cd hackathon-spec

# Setup Environment
cp .env.example .env
# [IMPORTANT] Update .env with your DATABASE_URL and GEMINI_API_KEY

3. Backend Initialization

The backend automatically initializes your database (creates tables and vector extensions) on the first start.

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Seed required Merchant data
python scripts/seed_merchant.py

# Launch Backend (Port 8000)
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8000

4. Frontend Launch

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
