AI Tool

Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent framework built for real work: terminal jobs, coding help, research, scheduled automation, and messaging-platform control from places like Telegram, Discord, and Slack.

What It Does

Hermes is like a command center for an AI assistant. It can use tools, inspect files, run terminal commands, work from chat apps, save reusable skills, remember useful context, and handle scheduled jobs.

It is best for builders, sysadmins, researchers, and anyone who wants an AI assistant that can do more than answer questions in a browser tab.

Good For

  • Running an AI assistant from the terminal or messaging apps
  • Automating IT tasks, website work, research, and documentation
  • Using different AI providers without rebuilding your workflow
  • Saving repeatable workflows as skills so the agent improves over time
