What is Hermes?

Hermes is an open-source, self-hosted autonomous Agent from Nous Research, officially positioned as “the Agent that grows with you.” Its most distinctive feature is the built-in learning loop: it automatically creates skills from the experience of completing tasks, improves itself through use, and recalls past sessions using full-text search plus LLM summaries, allowing it to remember projects and user preferences across sessions. It provides a full terminal TUI and also includes a built-in messaging gateway, so the same Agent can be connected to Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and email, all sharing the same memory. Hermes comes with a built-in cron scheduler that lets you set up unattended tasks such as daily reports and nightly backups in natural language, and it also supports dispatching isolated sub-Agents to work in parallel. The execution environment can be switched between local, Docker, SSH, Modal, Daytona, and Vercel Sandbox, so it can run on a cheap VPS or in the cloud. On the model side, it is not locked to any vendor, supporting Nous Portal, OpenRouter, OpenAI, and custom endpoints.
