Meet Hermes Agent, the open source agent that grows with you. Hermes Agent remembers what it learns and gets more capable over time, with a multi-level memory system and persistent dedicated machine access.

Submissions for the Hermes Agent Plugin Hackathon closed at 5PM EST, and we received nearly 1,000 entries. Thank you to everyone who built and submitted them! Our judges are working on sorting through submissions to narrow down the top 10 now. Winners will be emailed directly, and we will announce them here in about a week.

Hermes Agent is shrinking the distance between a scientific idea and testing it. Thank you @NousResearch and @Teknium for building it.

24 hours left to submit your plugin. We've received hundreds of awesome submissions and the judges are excited to review them all!

My impression so far comparing the @NousResearch beta iOS app and @claudeai Duet: 1. The Hermes app is insanely good. It's intuitive to use on a level I would never have expected. 2. Duet so far just seems like a worse version of the Claude app. Who is this for?

🚨 BREAKING: HERMES DESKTOP IS GETTING A HUGE REDESIGN. 🔥 A whole new way to run your agents. Here's what's coming: ▸ All-new navigation: Chats, Agent settings, Capabilities, Library, Routines and Plugins ▸ Your agents grouped by where they run, so every machine gets its own section ▸ Pinned conversations right in the sidebar ▸ A dedicated home for your Bot Chats ▸ A page for every plugin you install ▸ A fresh sidebar, chat header, new-chat screen and message box ▸ Everything carries over: your skins, light or dark mode, profiles, chats and pins ▸ Love the classic look? One setting brings it back Hermes Desktop is about to feel like a whole new app. When it drops, you'll hear it here.

to accompany the demo for my @NousResearch hackathon submission • i will be hosting TEKNIUM VS TYRANTS • 3 tyrannical ceos have kidnapped the nous girl and only @Teknium can save her. fight through 3 waves of evil robots and confront the 3 ceo’s in a battle for the future of ai. compete on a leaderboard to be the fastest player to complete the mission! hermes64 is a plugin that turns any idea into an N64 style 3D game.

now on your hermes🪽

goodbye Grok bot

Hermes Agent can now review your codebase for security bugs with the new official Security plugin by @mark_s. Hermes first maps what an attacker could reach and which inputs it trusts. It splits the code across parallel subagents, checks every candidate finding against the code, and traces whether an attacker can actually exploit it. Turn on test confirmation and Hermes writes a small reproduction for each finding and runs it in a temporary copy of the repo. Each report records the evidence and the findings Hermes ruled out, and exports to SARIF for your existing tools. Run it from chat, the CLI, or the Security page in Hermes Desktop.

i've spent over 1,000 hours building with AI agents... and i've tried them ALL from OpenClaw to Grok Bot, ChatGPT Dots and Open Bot... every single time, i end up back on Hermes here's why: - it hasn't stopped evolving since i first tried it in march, it keeps absorbing the best features from its competitors - the team behind it is locked in, new models, connectors and plugins land extremely fast - it's one of the best harnesses you can use, sometimes more efficient than Codex or Claude Code for me - you can run any model, bring your own subscriptions, or run it locally and it picks the best model for your machine - it just works... and when it breaks, one 'hermes doctor' fixes it i get why people are impressed by Grok Bot's UI, but it takes 5 minutes to make the Hermes desktop app look exactly how you want hide the tool calls, the extra menus, everything you don't need, and you end up with a setup that's yours forever the mobile app is in beta right now, i should get access in a few hours, and what i've seen so far is legit once it goes public, a lot of people will realize no other personal AI agent can compete so the time you put into your Hermes setup today pays off hard in the coming months because when Grok Bot runs on a nerfed model, when Muse gets locked to the US, or when your usage limits everywhere else get ridiculous... Hermes will still be standing and delivering, like it has for me for the past 6 months

Nice! My plugin for Hermes Agent can now be found on the Hermes Plugin Marketplace. Time-travel filesystem checkpoints, approval-gated rollback, and a scrubbable Desktop timeline for Hermes Agent Thanks @Teknium 💚🪽 ya'll fast! hermes-agent.nousresearch.co…

Guess what I got 👀 @NousResearch @witcheer

hermes is absolutely goated, and it's not hype. i came from an openclaw that broke after every update to a hermes that hasn't given up on me once. small group starting a coding agent, going up against a multi-trillion dollar company, and still competing

Fun experiment getting Hermes, active and operational on a Nintendo 3DS. I can talk to it from the 3DS and it does real work on my Mac. It can searches the web, writes and runs code, and pretty much anything else an agent can do. The 3DS is the remote. Getting voice in was interesting part. The 3DS browser can't reach the mic, so Hermes and I installed custom firmware and wrote a small homebrew app in C. Hold A to talk and let go to send. The audio goes over to my Mac, Whisper turns it into text, and Hermes takes it from there. The 3DS is completely unaffected still works as intended. Anything needing approval is surfaced. The screen goes dark and the command shows up. A approves, B denies. The Hermes Girl animates through every state: listening, thinking, searching, writing code, sending helpers, done, asleep. There are 13 states in total. Anyways here’s a few simple interactions. 🤖🖤

your Hermes Agent now shows you pictures and screenshots right in the terminal. paste an image and it is drawn in the chat: real pixels in Kitty and Ghostty, colored blocks everywhere else. this is super helpful to keep track of the conversation with your agent, very visual!

A month ago, Hermes Gadget was an open SDK running on 11 boards. Since then: • 29 boards, including the first ESP32-P4 ones, M5Stack StickS3, ESP32-S3-BOX and the Cheap Yellow Display • Every Hermes profile gets its own face, in colour, blinking and talking • Timers the agent sets, face-down sleep, a resting clock • Spanish, Russian and Chinese on screen • A Gadgets page in Hermes Desktop: a gadget right in the window, one-click pairing, a live view of every screen 687 commits and 266 merged PRs since, from more than 15 contributors. Thank you all, and @NousResearch. What should Hermes run on next? Link below ↓
