Hermae

What is Hermae?

Hermae is an artificial intelligence assistant specifically designed for enterprise design systems. It helps development teams accelerate their workflow, reduce engineering onboarding challenges, and instantly synthesize vast amounts of documentation data through an embeddable AI widget.

How Does Hermae Work?

The platform processes various information sources including SDK documentation, API docs, design systems, and knowledge bases. It converts this data into structured formats that the AI can understand and utilize. The system then provides instant answers, generates code, and offers contextual feedback directly within the developer's documentation environment.

Key Features

• Documentation Integration: Embeds directly into existing documentation sites with minimal configuration
• Storybook Compatibility: One-line code implementation for Storybook environments
• Multi-Source Processing: Handles SDK docs, API documentation, design systems, and knowledge bases
• Instant Feedback: Provides real-time assistance without timezone delays
• Code Generation: Creates production-ready code based on documentation guidelines

Primary Use Cases

• Engineering Onboarding: New engineers become productive on their first day by interacting with the AI assistant
• Development Acceleration: Reduces time spent searching through documentation and manually implementing components
• Knowledge Distribution: Ensures consistent information access across distributed teams
• Design System Adoption: Increases internal team usage and compliance with design system standards

Target Audience

Hermae is designed for:

• Enterprise development teams working with complex design systems
• Organizations with extensive documentation that needs to be more accessible
• Companies experiencing onboarding challenges with new engineers
• Teams supporting multiple time zones requiring instant documentation access

Practical Value

According to the platform's calculations, organizations can achieve significant cost savings. For example, with 400 engineers saving 5 minutes per day at an average salary of $150,000, annual savings can reach $625,000. The tool particularly benefits:

• Large engineering organizations with complex frontend systems
• Companies with remote or distributed teams
• Organizations prioritizing design system consistency and adoption

Implementation Process

Hermae follows a simple four-step process:

1. Information Gathering: Collects relevant data from all specified sources
2. Data Processing: Converts documentation into AI-understandable formats
3. Custom Integration: Tailors the assistant to match brand guidelines and specific needs
4. Support Success: Provides ongoing support during and after implementation

Industry Recognition

The platform has received positive feedback from industry professionals including Dmitry Belyaev, creator of Reshaped design system, who noted: "Using it as an assistant noticeably improved development velocity and gave a significant advantage over manually reading through documentation."

Why Choose Hermae?

The solution addresses common pain points in enterprise development:

• Reduces time spent searching through documentation
• Eliminates waiting for responses from remote team members
• Ensures consistent implementation of design system standards
• Provides instant access to organizational knowledge

Hermae represents a significant advancement in how development teams interact with and utilize their design system documentation, transforming static documents into dynamic, intelligent assistants that actively support the development process.
