What is Hermes Agent?
Hermes Agent is an MIT-licensed personal agent from Nous Research that runs locally, in Docker, over SSH or in Hermes Cloud. It suits users who want to see and edit exactly what their agent remembers.
Memories and user information are stored as Markdown files that you can accept, reject, edit or turn off. The agent can use tools, run scheduled cron jobs and work across messaging channels.
Manual and smart approval modes, container isolation and command allowlists control what it may run. The software is free, with optional costs for the hosted cloud and model usage.
