Why we included this project

Hermes Agent is built around a simple idea: an AI assistant that keeps a memory of what you've done and gets better at your recurring work instead of treating every session as a fresh start. It turns completed tasks into reusable skills, refines those skills as you use them, and searches its own past conversations to recall context from earlier sessions. That learning loop is what separates it from a plain chatbot wrapper. It is also portable in a way few agents are. You can run it on a cheap VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure that costs almost nothing when idle, and reach it from Telegram, Discord, Slack, or WhatsApp through a single gateway process. Model choice is open, so you can point it at OpenAI, OpenRouter, your own endpoint, or Nous Portal and switch providers with a single command. For solo developers and small teams, the combination of persistence, portability, and model freedom is the main draw, especially when you want scheduled automations and parallel subagents working together.
