Overview

An open-source self-improving AI agent with memory, skills, tools, and multi-channel operation across local and cloud setups.

Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent by Nous Research designed around continuous improvement, persistent memory, and practical tool use across sessions. Its official documentation describes it as a self-improving agent with a built-in learning loop that creates and refines skills from experience, searches past conversations, and builds a deeper model of the user over time.
