Hermes-Agent

Hermes Agent is an open‑source autonomous AI agent that maintains long‑term memory, plans multi‑step tasks, and improves its skills over time. Unlike a standard chatbot that simply responds to prompts, Hermes Agent can orchestrate tools, recall past context, and execute workflows with minimal human supervision.

Yes. Hermes Agent is released as an open‑source project and is free to use, modify, and self‑host subject to its license. You may still incur costs from underlying model providers or infrastructure when running it in production.

Hermes Agent is primarily designed for developers and technical teams who want to build custom AI agents. Basic programming knowledge is recommended, especially if you plan to integrate with APIs, tools, or internal systems.

Hermes Agent can store and retrieve long‑term memory about tasks, decisions, and context using pluggable storage backends. If you self‑host, your data stays within your own infrastructure, and you can configure retention, encryption, and access controls according to your security requirements.

Hermes Agent is model‑agnostic and can integrate with various LLM providers and external tools via APIs. You can connect it to open‑source models, commercial APIs, databases, internal services, and other developer tools to fit your stack.
