Hermes Agent

Nous Research built Hermes around a learning loop rather than a fixed prompt. It turns finished tasks into skills, revises those skills while using them, searches its own past conversations, and keeps building a model of the person it works for across sessions. Model choice stays open, with Nous Portal, OpenRouter, OpenAI and self-hosted endpoints all swappable from one command.

It is designed to live somewhere other than a laptop. A single gateway process handles Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal and a full terminal UI together, a built-in cron scheduler runs unattended jobs, and the execution backends range from a local shell to Docker, SSH, Modal, Daytona and Vercel Sandbox.
