How Mercura works

Mercura is an autonomous customer-acquisition agent. It maps the real world into leads, reasons over them, drafts the first hello, and waits for you to say yes. Five steps, start to finish. The robot does the work, you make the calls that matter.

Two ways to use Mercura

Same loop, opposite direction. Mercura works whether you are offering something or looking for something.

Individual

You offer a service. Mercura finds customers.

Describe what you do. Mercura searches for businesses that would be your clients.

Bob, a web designer in Austin, finds local businesses that need a website.

Business

You have a need. Mercura finds suppliers.

Describe what you need. Mercura searches for providers you could hire or buy from.

Tim, running a hotel, finds AC contractors for a bulk installation.

STEP 1

Discover

Describe your goal. Mercura scans the real world and pulls each business's real Google data.

Mercura queries the Google Places API across an area and captures the real signals for each business: its category, star rating, review count, and Google's own editorial summary, alongside website state and coordinates. Everything is normalized into a clean lead and deduplicated, so the messy real world becomes one queryable list of prospects on a live map, grounded in real data rather than guesses.

STEP 2

Run Nemotron

NVIDIA's Nemotron AI reads each business and decides who genuinely needs help, and why.

Each lead is handed to NVIDIA Nemotron, a reasoning model. It weighs the available signals (web presence, business type, and the size of the opportunity) and returns a structured verdict: a priority score from 1 to 100, an estimated project value, and a one-line hook. The score maps to a plain fit read (priority 85+ shows as a 9/10: high intent, low friction). A business with no website at all is the strongest signal of all.

STEP 3

Outreach

Mercura writes a personal first message for each one. You see it before anyone else.

For every qualified lead, Hermes-4 drafts a short, personal first message grounded in that business's specific hook, not a template. The tone adapts to who you are: offering a service, or requesting one. Everything runs on a test network: drafts are generated and stored, but no live email is ever dispatched. You read the exact words, and nothing is queued behind your back.

STEP 4

Approve

Nothing is sent until you say yes. You're always in control.

Nothing leaves the system autonomously. Every draft stops at a human approval gate, where you approve or reject in a single tap. This is the heart of Mercura's design: the agent proposes, the human disposes. Autonomy without a kill switch isn't a feature, it's a liability.

STEP 5

Get paid

The other side responds, agrees, and pays. The deal closes and you get paid.

Once you approve, the counterparty responds on the test network: interested, then a quote request, then payment. The deal closes, a revenue entry lands in your wallet, and your live P&L updates. Both sides win, the customer gets the service or the supplier gets the job, and the value loop is complete. Stripe powers the payments in test mode, so no real money moves while you explore.

The architecture

Three specialized systems, one loop. Language, reasoning, and payments compose into an agent that can go from a map pin to a paid invoice, with a human gate in the middle.

Hermes
Language: drafts the outreach
Nemotron
Reasoning: qualifies each lead
Stripe
Payments: closes the deal

Supabase holds the live state (leads, wallet, and pipeline) and streams every change to the cockpit in real time, so the map and your P&L update as the agent works. Every deal closed, message sent, and business discovered is logged, so your full activity history is one click away.

The principles

Human in the loop

Mercura proposes; you decide. No message is ever sent without an explicit human approval. The agent works tirelessly, but it never acts alone.

Ethical outreach

B2B prospects only. Mercura refuses pure consumer cold outreach (GDPR / KVKK aware). Every message is specific and honest, never spam. Quality over volume, always.

Transparency

The test network is labeled as such everywhere. The reasoning engine is named, not hidden: when it says Nemotron, it runs on Nemotron. What you see is what runs.
