Hermes Agent | Hermes Desktop

**The self-improving AI agent built by .** It's the only agent with a built-in learning loop — it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to persist knowledge, searches its own past conversations, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure that costs nearly nothing when idle. It's not tied to your laptop — talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM.

Use any model you want — , OpenRouter, OpenAI, your own endpoint, and . Switch with `hermes model` — no code changes, no lock-in.
