Examples

Every guide in this section ends with something running, and almost every one comes with a public repo. Each one opens with a prompt to paste into your coding agent. There are two ways in:

Fork a finished app when you want to ship fast: point it at your sk_live_ key, rebrand, deploy.
Build it yourself when you want the API pattern: the guides walk through the exact calls.

Start with the sandbox capability or application you need. Agent hosting and chat apps are examples of what a template can add to an instance.

I want to…	Guide	Code
Create a sandbox, run a command, and access a service	Quickstart	None
Run my own tools, services, or harness in a custom Docker image	Build a custom image	custom-agent-image
Move the Docker containers I already run on my own servers, and stop paying for idle machines	Move from Docker	None
Run a full VM with Docker-in-Docker, Compose, and a Linux desktop	VM instances	Ubuntu image
Drive an Android 14 phone with ADB and watch its screen in the browser	Host an Android phone	Android image
Host Claude Code on its own always-on instance, signed in to my own Anthropic account	Host Claude Code	None
Host Codex on its own always-on instance, signed in to my own OpenAI account	Host Codex	None
Connect an OpenAI Agents API session to a persistent sandbox, with OpenAI running the agent and Agent37 running its commands	OpenAI Agents API on Agent37	None
Run my Cursor Cloud Agents on an always-on machine I control, with Cursor running the agent and Agent37 running its commands and keeping the checkout	Cursor Self-Hosted Machines on Agent37	None

A chat UI on one always-on agent, replies streamed token by token	Build a chat app	hermes-chat
Let users ask the agent for a website and get a live public URL back	Build a website builder	site-builder
Give every user a personal agent like OpenAI’s Dots: it owns ongoing jobs, keeps its own schedule, messages them first, and lets them watch and take over its computer	Build a proactive agent like Dots	dots
Build an assistant users text on iMessage, like Instinct: its own line, inbox, and calls, plus reminders that text them first	Build a texting assistant like Instinct	instinct
Give every user a team of named Bots on one shared computer, like xAI’s Grok Bot: parallel chats, routines, and a team chat	Build an agent team like Grok Bot	grok-bot
Give every user a personal agent like Meta’s Muse: daily ideas, goals it checks in on, and a library of what it made	Build a personal assistant like Muse	muse
Ship a branded product: a multi-tenant dashboard with chat, files, app integrations, and one-click terminal access	White-label dashboard	starter-kit
Let my users message their agent from Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack or Discord, connected from my own UI	Messaging channels	starter-kit
Run agents on my own model keys instead of the managed LLM: my models, a token per agent, my spend caps	Use your own model	hermes-byo-model
Run integrations on my own Composio: my API key, my users’ connected accounts, my metering	Use your own Composio	hermes-openclaw-composio
Run the tools of my Claude Managed Agents sessions on an always-on instance I control, while Anthropic runs the agent loop	Self-host Claude Managed Agents	None
Run Claude Code on my own OpenRouter key: override the Anthropic base URL, pick the model per role	Bring your own model	claude-code-byo-model
Host Grok on its own always-on instance, on my own xAI API key	Host Grok	None
Host OpenCode on its own always-on instance: works out of the box on the managed model, no account needed	Host OpenCode	None
Host Pi, the minimal open-source harness, on its own always-on instance: the managed model out of the box, or my own provider key or Claude/ChatGPT/Copilot subscription	Host Pi	None
Host n8n, the workflow automation tool, on its own always-on instance: visual editor, webhooks, AI nodes on the managed model	Host n8n	None
Run an agent we have no template for, in my own image, on the managed LLM and Composio	Managed services in your image	pi-agent-image
Give Hermes a public URL for webhook deliveries	Hermes webhooks	None
Let each user text their agent on iMessage, with its own email address and phone calls	Text your agent on iMessage	instinct
Watch my agent’s desktop live: a browser view of it clicking and typing, embeddable in my own app, and takeover when a site needs me	Browser and desktop	hermes-vnc-desktop

All the runnable folders above live in the Agent37 Cookbook: example apps, ready-to-build custom images, and pointers to the full apps. New examples land there as they ship. New to the API itself? Read Core concepts first (one key, two planes), then come back and pick a row.
