Features
One agent. Every capability.
Hermes learns, delegates, schedules, and runs anywhere. No CLI required, no lock-in, and nothing to glue together — it all ships in a single native app.
Closed Learning Loop
Agent-curated memory with periodic nudges. Autonomous skill creation after complex tasks. Skills self-improve during use. The only agent with a true built-in learning loop.
Lives Where You Do
Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and CLI, all from a single gateway. Voice memo transcription and cross-platform conversation continuity.
Deep Memory
FTS5 session search with LLM summarization for cross-session recall. Honcho dialectic user modeling. Compatible with the agentskills.io open standard.
Scheduled Automations
Built-in cron scheduler with delivery to any platform. Daily reports, nightly backups, weekly audits, all in natural language, running unattended.
Delegates & Parallelizes
Spawn isolated subagents for parallel workstreams. Write Python scripts that call tools via RPC, collapsing multi-step pipelines into zero-context-cost turns.
Runs Anywhere
Seven terminal backends: local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal, Daytona, and Vercel Sandbox. Run on a $5 VPS or a GPU cluster. Costs nearly nothing when idle.
Any Model, No Lock-in
Nous Portal, OpenRouter (300+ models), OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, NVIDIA NIM, Hugging Face, Ollama, LM Studio, or your own endpoint. Switch with one command.
14 Toolsets
Web search, browser automation, terminal, file ops, code execution, vision, image gen, TTS, memory, session search, delegation, MoA, and task planning.
Research-Ready
Batch trajectory generation and compression for training the next generation of tool-calling models. Built by Nous Research.
