Hermes One

Hermes One is a community-maintained desktop companion for Hermes Agent by Nous Research. It is described as an AI agent with a built-in learning loop, designed to create skills from experience, improve them during use, and build a model of who a user is across sessions.

Its listed capabilities go beyond chat. Hermes One includes agent-curated memory with periodic nudges, autonomous skill creation after complex tasks, skill self-improvement during use, and cross-platform conversation continuity. It supports Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and CLI through a single gateway, and it also offers voice memo transcription. For memory and retrieval, it includes FTS5 session search with LLM summarization for cross-session recall and Honcho dialectic user modeling. The page also says it is compatible with the agentskills.io open standard.

The product includes scheduled automations through a built-in cron scheduler, with natural-language tasks such as daily reports, nightly backups, and weekly audits running unattended and deliverable to any platform. It can spawn isolated subagents for parallel workstreams, and users can write Python scripts that call tools via RPC. The page also lists toolsets for web search, browser automation, terminal, file operations, code execution, vision, image generation, text-to-speech, memory, session search, delegation, MoA, and task planning. For running tasks, it supports seven terminal backends: local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal, Daytona, and Vercel Sandbox.

Hermes One is available as a native desktop app, with Hermes Desktop walking through setup on first launch and no terminal required. The page also says Hermes Agent can be installed directly from the terminal on macOS, Linux, WSL2, and Windows. It is free, open source, and licensed under the MIT License. The site also describes it as built by Nous Research.
