When to use it

An OpenAI account and API key are required. Choose this for a first installation or a broadly compatible baseline.

Install

helm upgrade --install hermes-agent ./charts/hermes-agent \
  --namespace hermes-agent --create-namespace \
  -f charts/hermes-agent/values-openai.yaml \
  --set-string env.OPENAI_API_KEY='<real-value>' --wait

When an example requires more than one credential, pass every listed value with --set-string or use extraEnvFrom to reference an existing Secret.

Adapt before deploying

Replace the model ID and API key with the values for your environment.
