Hermes Intelligence
A guide through the EBD ecosystem
Hermes is the guided intelligence layer of Equity By Design. Not a generic chat window — a way to understand your options, find what is relevant, and begin the right workflow.
Hermes assists. Humans decide.
Guided experiences
Where Hermes supports visitors and partners
Guided Navigation
Hermes can ask about your role, challenge, and goal, then recommend the EBD services, resources, programs, frameworks, and next steps that fit.
Resource Discovery
Recommendations across EBD articles, books, guides, toolkits, courses, certification pathways, FAM+PACT information, and consulting services.
ULRL Contributor Support
Help selecting and refining a topic, drafting a short video outline, reviewing submission guidelines, preparing a title and description, confirming required materials, and continuing to the EditMate recording workflow.
Learn. Be. Do. Support
Reading-path recommendations, chapter reflections, discussion questions, action steps, and links to related EBD resources.
Certification Guidance
Understanding certification options, completing readiness assessments, following checklists, identifying evidence requirements, and preparing improvement plans. Hermes cannot award certification — final review and approval remain with an authorized human evaluator.
Consulting Intake
Collecting preliminary information from prospective partners and preparing an organized summary for the EBD team before a discovery call.
Publishing Support
Manuscript intake, project organization, editorial preparation, author guidance, companion-resource development, progress tracking, and marketing drafts. All substantive editorial and publishing decisions remain under human control.

Hermes governance
Clear limits, human authority

- Hermes does not provide clinical, legal, financial, or other regulated professional advice.
- Sensitive, high-stakes, or unclear requests are directed to an appropriate human.
- AI-assisted drafts, edits, and translations are reviewed and approved by qualified people before use.
- Hermes never replaces the expertise, judgment, or relationships provided by people.
