Hermes Agent is an open-source autonomous agent platform from Nous Research for running persistent agents across local and remote environments. It combines long-term memory, reusable skills, tool calling, subagents, and messaging integrations so agents can operate continuously instead of only inside a single chat or terminal session.
Features
- Persistent memory and workspace context so agents can carry state across sessions
- Reusable skills system for packaging task-specific instructions, scripts, and workflows
- Subagents and multiple runtimes for delegating work across different execution environments
- Messaging gateway integrations so agents can work through chat surfaces like Slack, Telegram, and other channels
- Tooling for browser control, code execution, document analysis, and environment automation
So agents can…
- Keep working over time with memory, project context, and recoverable task state
- Hand off specialized work to subagents while a main agent coordinates the broader job
- Operate through chat, local tooling, and remote environments as part of one continuous workflow
