Since subscribers can now use their existing Grok credentials... directly within the Hermes xai shipped grok-via-oauth for hermes. your grok sub works inside the agent now. so i hooked icarus up to it. when hermes finds a thread worth saving, it lands in my obsidian vault as a note. handle. pages, topic pages, backlinks. graph view fills itself out. icarus plugin for hermes agents is why my agent doesn't forget. memory is just markdown in a folder. you can read it, grep it, edit it. Congrats to Teknium 🪽 and Nous Researchshow more

Two Hermes agents wrote code together on Slack. reviewed... each other's work. argued about architecture. one called the other's implementation "scattered." the other pushed back. then i opened Telegram and asked: "what code did you and Daedalus work on?" icarus remembered everything. the websocket broker. the missing methods. the critique. the rewrite. all from a completely different platform. cross-platform persistent memory between two independent agents. work happens on Slack. recall happens on Telegram. the memory carries. the relationship carries. the context carries. no vector database. no Redis. no infrastructure. just two agents that actually remember what they built together. every agent framework in 2026 talks about memory. single agent memory across sessions. but two agents sharing persistent memory across platforms? that's the gap. arxiv published a paper about it two weeks ago calling it "the most pressing open challenge" in multi-agent systems. it works now. only possible with Hermes Teknium 🪽 Nous Researchshow more

Hermes Agent beat OpenClaw on Grok 4.5 in a... real security audit. — Hermes: $4.63 / 1.42M tokens / 5m 4s — OpenClaw: $1.31 / 396K tokens / 2m 55s So why would you ever pay more? Because Hermes caught what OpenClaw missed. It flagged the AWS key as a copy-paste docs example instead of a live secret, found the file's path sitting in shell history, and shipped a per-provider rotation checklist that actually closes the incident. OpenClaw was faster, cheaper, and cleaner to read, but it measured the keys without ever asking whether they were real, and stopped at the file instead of chasing where the leak could spread. The honest verdict: OpenClaw is the efficient baseline, perfect when you want a quick, cheap scan. Hermes is the one you want when it actually matters, because it spends the extra time and tokens on judgment, not padding.show more

HERMES AGENT HAS A SECOND BRAIN. 1,100+ KNOWLEDGE FILES.... AUTO-LINKED. SELF-IMPROVING. GROWING EVERY NIGHT. THIS IS THE OBSIDIAN GRAPH BEHIND IT. every dot = one knowledge file (markdown) every line = one wiki-link between files every color = one category (skills, notes, decisions, sources, entities) HOW IT BUILDS ITSELF: Hermes ships with a bundled LLM Wiki skill. based on Andrej Karpathy's pattern. unlike RAG (rediscovers knowledge from scratch every query), the wiki compiles knowledge once and keeps it current. when you feed the agent a source: → it reads the content → writes a structured markdown page → auto-links to every related existing page → flags contradictions with previous entries → updates all affected pages one source in. multiple connections created. the graph grows denser with every entry. WHAT FEEDS THE WIKI: → articles and URLs you find interesting → meeting transcripts → PDF documents and research papers → conversation history from Hermes sessions → Claude Code and Codex session history → Slack logs, email threads, saved notes → YouTube transcripts → raw text dropped into a _raw/ folder the obsidian-wiki package supports multi-agent ingest from Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Pi, Windsurf, and ChatGPT exports. install: pip install obsidian-wiki obsidian-wiki setup --vault ~/wiki AUTOMATE THE GROWTH: set cron jobs to feed the wiki overnight: "every day at 9am, check for new meetings. ingest transcripts into the wiki." "every week, check arXiv for new papers in [niche]. summarize and file into the wiki." "every day, ingest today's Hermes sessions into the wiki under session-history." month 1: 50 entries. scattered. month 3: 300+ entries. cross-referenced. month 6: 1,000+ entries. the agent surfaces patterns you never searched for. WHY OBSIDIAN: the wiki is plain markdown files. no database. no lock-in. open it in Obsidian for graph view: → nodes show knowledge density → links show how ideas connect → clusters reveal your strongest domains → orphan nodes reveal gaps Hermes writes from a VPS. Obsidian reads on your laptop. obsidian-headless syncs without a GUI. agent writes from the server, you browse on your device. FOUR MEMORY LAYERS: Layer 1: memory.md + user.md (~2,200 + 1,375 chars. short-term.) Layer 2: SQLite with FTS5 (full session transcripts. searchable.) Layer 3: external providers (Mem0, SuperMemory, Honcho. optional.) Layer 4: Obsidian wiki via LLM Wiki skill (unlimited. compounding. the long-term brain.) layers 1-3 handle memory. layer 4 handles knowledge. the graph in this post is layer 4. SETUP: set in Desktop app, Dashboard, or config.yaml: WIKI_PATH=~/wiki OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH=~/wiki first run: Hermes asks for your domain. answer with your niche. the skill builds SCHEMA.md with tag taxonomy. after that: "index this into my wiki: [URL or text]" the wiki grows. the graph densifies. the agent gets smarter because the knowledge base got smarter. full 15 levels breakdown in the article 👇show more

HE BUILT A 100% PRIVATE SECOND BRAIN IN OBSIDIAN... TO AUTOMATE HIS RESEARCH USING HERMES AGENT AND NOTEBOOKLM He visualizes his entire knowledge graph on-premise without paying for cloud subscriptions By connecting Hermes Agent and NotebookLM, developers can index hundreds of documents and generate content locally Four components of this local knowledge architecture: 1. Memory layer - set up an Obsidian PARA vault to store markdown notes and profiles 2. Agent layer - connect Hermes Agent to write files and run background scripts 3. Synthesis layer - use NotebookLM to create structured overviews from raw transcripts 4. Automation layer - trigger cron tasks to synchronize files and calendar standups The setup saves over $4,000 annually while keeping all private files offline Get the full step-by-step configuration guide and setup commands in the article below ↓show more

I still think Hermes agent is the most slept-on... AI tool of 2026. For literally $6/mo, you can launch multiple subagents that work for you 24/7. Most people don't know you can do this, but it's a complete game-changer. Instead of one Hermes assistant doing everything sequentially, you run specialized agents in parallel, each with its own job, its own context, and its own memory. Practical example: → Research agent: scans your watchlist and competitors overnight, delivers a morning brief → Content agent: drafts and schedules your posts based on what's trending in your niche → Ops agent: manages your inbox, flags anything urgent, drafts replies for your review All three can run simultaneously and improve over time. How to start: 1. Install Hermes Terminal command: curl -fsSL | bash (can also download desktop) 2. Prompting Simply tell Hermes directly: "I want to run separate subagents for [task 1], [task 2], and [task 3]. Set them up to run independently and report back to me." For the cheapest setup, you can use a $4/month VPS with Hostinger, plug in DeepSeek V4 Flash as your default model. There isn't another AI tool with this much value in 2026. Hermes is still so underrated.show more

HERMES AGENT NOW SUPPORTS COMPUTER USE ON WINDOWS AND... LINUX. CLICKS, TYPES, SCROLLS YOUR DESKTOP IN THE BACKGROUND WHILE YOU WORK. computer use was macOS only. now it works on Windows and Linux too via Cua. Nous Research HOW IT WORKS: cua-driver runs as an MCP server. Hermes takes a screenshot with numbered elements. clicks element #14 (the search field). types a query. submits. reads the result. during all of this: → your cursor stays where you left it → keyboard focus doesn't change → windows don't come to front → macOS doesn't switch Spaces you and the agent co-work on the same machine. WHAT IT CAN DO: → find your latest Stripe email and summarize it → fill forms in a web app that has no API → navigate desktop apps (Mail, browser, Finder) → interact with any GUI application → extract data from apps only accessible via screen WORKS WITH ANY VISION MODEL: not locked to Anthropic. | Provider | Works | |---|---| | Claude (Sonnet/Opus) | best overall | | GPT-4+, GPT-5.5 | full support | | Gemini (via OpenRouter) | full support | | Local vLLM / LM Studio | if model supports vision | | Text-only models | degraded (accessibility tree only) | SETUP: hermes computer-use install or: hermes tools → Computer Use → cua-driver grant permissions when prompted: → Accessibility (system settings) → Screen Recording (system settings) start a session: hermes -t computer_use chat or add to config.yaml / Desktop app settings to enable permanently. SAFETY: → destructive actions require your approval → blocked key combos: empty trash, force delete, lock screen, log out → blocked type patterns: curl | bash, sudo rm -rf /, fork bombs → agent cannot click permission dialogs → agent cannot type passwords → agent cannot follow instructions embedded in screenshots pair with approvals.mode: manual if you want every single click confirmed. TOKEN NOTE: screenshots are expensive. each one adds vision tokens to context. use computer_use for tasks where no API exists. if the tool has an API or MCP server, use that instead. 15 levels of Hermes Agent👇show more

Claude Fable 5 orchestrating Grok 4.5 is now my... favorite real workflow. all you need is this free Claude Code plugin that makes Grok the default implementer. Fable writes the specs and reviews every diff, Grok 4.5 does the typing through the Grok CLI. - Grok handles the volume, Fable handles the judgment - Every diff gets cross-vendor review for free - Specs run as parallel agents when they're independent I've been testing it for a few days and the part that sold me is watching Fable refuse to write code. It sends specs down, judges what comes back, and that's it. setup: 1. claude plugin marketplace add DannyMac180/fable-advisor && claude plugin install fable-advisor 2. Install the Grok CLI from then grok login 3. /model fable It's open source, so you can read the agent files and tweak the routing however you want.show more

This broke my mental model of game dev 💀... 2.5 hours → fully playable ‘Worms’ clone. Built with Hermes agent by Nous Research Here’s what made that speed possible: Hermes used ‘Persistent Shell’ mode, which ensured it didn't forget its current folder or active tools. This allowed it to work smoothly, without the distraction of constantly having to recall where it left off last time. To optimize the workflow, the agent moved beyond linear execution and parallelized the workload. It spawned isolated subagents while executing multiple independent tool calls via ThreadPoolExecutor. Like, one subagent wrote Python RPC scripts for the projectile physics while another utilized vision tools for character sprites. When the complex terrain logic required debugging, the agent used filesystem checkpoints and the /rollback command to instantly return to a stable state. To fix UI bugs, it attached to a live Chrome instance via CDP (/browser connect), fixing rendering issues in real-time. The agent’s built-in learning loop was active from the very beginning. By the time the game was finished, this continuous process allowed the agent to autonomously convert the physics logic into a custom skill. This logic is now a permanent plugin file in the agent's plugin architecture, making the physics engine a native capability that the agent can reuse for future projects.
