Getting Started with Hermes Agent

Install and configure Hermes — the self-improving AI agent from Nous Research. Learn the terminal UI, swap memory providers, write portable skills, and deploy across Docker, SSH, and serverless Modal.

Real-World Example

A developer maintaining a multi-container Docker deployment runs Hermes on a $5 VPS. After 20 debug sessions the agent has authored 12 reusable SKILL.md files to its ~/.hermes/skills directory — the next similar failure is diagnosed in under a minute, with zero re-prompting.
