Hermes Agent is an open source AI agent built by Nous Research. The page describes it as an agent with a built-in learning loop: it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to keep knowledge, and builds a model of its user across sessions.

It can be run in three ways: from a terminal, as a desktop application for Mac, Windows and Linux, or in the cloud. The cloud option runs an agent in its own container around the clock, so it can handle scheduled jobs and reply on any channel while the user's laptop is closed. Cloud agents open in a browser tab with the same interface as Hermes Desktop, and chats, plugins and settings work the same way they do on the user's own computer.

Agents are launched from Nous Portal, where a user picks a name and a model. The Plus, Super and Ultra plans each include one cloud agent. The page does not list prices for these plans.

The software is released under the MIT License, so its code is free to read, modify and run on your own hardware. Nous Research also describes its wider work on open AI training, models and research, and says its mission is to create and proliferate open access to intelligence.

Hermes Agent suits developers, researchers and individuals who want an assistant that keeps what it learns and can run on their own machines or in the cloud.
