An open-source personal agent that lives on your server. It remembers what it learns and becomes more capable over time, integrating with your messaging platforms.

Hermes Agent is an open-source autonomous agent designed to grow with you. Unlike simple chatbots or coding assistants, Hermes lives on your server, providing a persistent and personal AI experience. It integrates with your existing messaging accounts like Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more, allowing you to interact with it across different platforms. The agent learns from your projects and interactions, storing this knowledge to improve its performance over time. This persistent memory ensures it never forgets how it solved a problem, making it a reliable assistant for your tasks.

Hermes Agent offers scheduled automations with natural language cron scheduling. You can set up reports, backups, or briefings to run unattended. It also features isolated subagents that can handle specific conversations, terminals, or Python scripts. This delegation and parallelization capability allows for efficient, zero-context-cost pipelines. For security and isolation, Hermes provides real sandboxing with multiple backends including Docker and SSH, ensuring container hardening and namespace isolation.

Expand your agent's abilities with full web and browser control. Hermes can perform web searches, automate browser tasks, process images with vision capabilities, generate images, and even perform multi-model reasoning. It supports text-to-speech for audio output. The agent is licensed under MIT and developed by Nous Research, offering a flexible and extensible solution for personal AI assistance. Install it easily with a simple script and configure it to start building your personalized AI companion.
