Hermes Agent (hermesagent.agency)

Hermes Agent is an open-source autonomous AI agent built by Nous Research — the lab behind the Hermes, Nomos, and Psyche model families. Unlike coding copilots tethered to an IDE or chatbot wrappers around a single API, HermesAgent is a self-improving agent that lives on your infrastructure, remembers what it learns across sessions, and gets more capable the longer it runs. It runs anywhere — a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure like Daytona or Modal that costs nearly nothing when idle. Talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM you never SSH into yourself. Hermes Agent is not tied to your laptop. It's your always-on AI that works while you sleep.

Self-Created SkillsThe agent autonomously creates procedural skills from experience, improves them during use, and reuses them across sessions. It gets smarter every day.

Lives Where You DoCLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp — all from one gateway. Reach your agent from any device, any platform, any time.
