Nick's Stack is a template for launching a personal AI agent on Orgo, a cloud computer platform, rebuilt to match a specific production setup the author calls Dewey. Once launched, the agent runs on its own cloud desktop and is reachable by texting it on Telegram, using a QR code to connect in about two minutes rather than going through a bot-creation process by hand. The agent, built on an open agent framework called Hermes paired with a language model, comes wired to thirteen external tools through the Model Context Protocol. These give it its own email inbox, a virtual payment card it can spend from carefully, access to over a thousand apps such as Gmail, Slack, and Notion through a service called Composio, its own desktop it can control directly, an Obsidian notes vault, and call tracing so every model and tool call can be reviewed later. SMS and iMessage access is available through an additional bridge service. A key design point is that no secrets are baked into the template itself. Every integration works without its key present, simply staying inactive until one is supplied, either typed directly into chat or stored in a 1Password vault the user controls, which the agent reads from automatically each time it starts. Setting it up does not require coding: a setup window walks a new user through signing into the language model, scanning the Telegram QR code, and optionally connecting 1Password. Building or customizing your own version of the template does require running Python scripts against the Orgo API, and publishing a new template needs a paid Orgo plan. The project is released under the MIT license, though it depends on paid third-party services such as the language model provider and the Orgo hosting platform to actually run.
