Hermes Agent Agency
Open-source autonomous AI agent with persistent memory and self-improving skill capabilities.
Overview
What is Hermes Agent Agency?
Hermes Agent is an open-source autonomous AI agent developed by Nous Research, the lab behind the Hermes model family. Unlike standard chatbots, Hermes Agent is designed for persistence and growth; it lives on your infrastructure, remembers context across sessions using FTS5 recall, and autonomously creates its own procedural skills from experience. It supports over 40 built-in tools, including web search and terminal commands, and can be accessed through multiple messaging platforms like Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. It is highly flexible, capable of running on everything from a $5 VPS to serverless cloud environments like Modal or Daytona.
