Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent by Nous Research. The official docs describe persistent memory, SOUL-based identity, messaging gateway support, MCP integration, and delegation for parallel work.

Official installation supports macOS, Linux, Windows via WSL2, and Android through Termux. Native Windows is not the supported install path.

Hermes supports Nous Portal, OpenRouter, OpenAI, local endpoints, and other compatible providers described in the setup and model documentation.

Use hermes gateway setup to write the platform configuration, then run hermes gateway. Telegram and Discord each have dedicated setup guides in the official docs.
