Hermes records how your text comes about — and issues a signed record from it that a publisher can check without an account.
Visible per passage: what came from you, what came from an AI generation and how much of it you reworked — plus active writing time, revisions and writing days. Inserted text is not guessed at but explained: your answer is reported as your statement, never as a measurement. The issued record is a W3C Verifiable Credential with a checkable signature and a QR code.
Scan your manuscript chapter by chapter for AI-suspicious passages – powered by Pangram AI Detection.
The »Detect AI Text« module returns probability and confidence scores per chapter. Plus the »Write Like a Human« style skill that deliberately produces plain, natural prose that detectors don't flag.

Adaptive author interview plus live market research (comparable books, TikTok trends, Reddit signals). At the end you go straight into the editor with a title. Developed with book coach Yvonne Kraus.
