Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent is a fully open-source autonomous AI agent designed to run persistently on your own machine or server, becoming more capable the longer it operates by learning from experience and building reusable procedural skills. Rather than functioning as a stateless chatbot, it maintains long-term memory across sessions and can generate searchable “Skill Documents” that capture how it solved complex tasks so it doesn’t start from scratch each time. The agent interfaces with messaging platforms like Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp through a single gateway process, and also offers an interactive terminal user interface with history, autocomplete, and streamable tool output. It supports scheduled automation in natural language, allowing users to set up recurring tasks such as daily briefings or system audits that it runs unattended.
