WTF, THIS CHINESE FOUNDER RUNS HIS $10,000+ STARTUP'S ENTIRE WORKFLOW THROUGH HERMES AGENT ON FOUR MACHINES SIMULTANEOUSLY A studio founder just broke down why Hermes is different from every other AI tool right now: → Long-term memory. Most LLMs forget everything after the chat ends. Hermes remembers your work... habits and gets sharper the more you use it. → Real execution, not suggestions. This is the core difference from Claude. Claude tells you what to do – you still do it. Hermes takes the instruction and finishes the task itself. → Scheduled tasks that just work. No complicated setup. Set the plan once, it runs on its own. This is what actual "hands-off" looks like. He's not running this on one machine. He's got FOUR laptops running Hermes simultaneously – each one handling a different part of his workflow at the same time. This is what it looks like when one person operates like a full team. He's dropping a full workflow build tutorial next – built for founders and operators trying to lighten their workload. Bookmark this, you'll want to come back to it later.show more

This guy literally tested Hermes Agent vs OpenClaw side by side. Hermes won. And it wasn't close. Here's what made the difference: → Hermes built the website faster → Hermes gave live updates the whole time. OpenClaw went silent. → Hermes designed a cleaner page using the exact same AI model → And then Hermes did something OpenClaw can't do at all. It learned from the task. Every mistake gets logged. Every win gets saved as a reusable skill. The more you use it, the smarter it gets. OpenClaw doesn't do this unless you manually set up a learning file. Hermes does it automatically. Every single time. Other wins: → Runs free with Ollama + MiniMax → Works on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and Email → Supports 200+ AI models → Built-in migration tool from OpenClaw — one command to switch 11,600 GitHub stars. 142 contributors. If you're already on OpenClaw, you don't have to start over. Just ask Hermes to import everything.

HERMES AGENT LEARNS FROM ITS OWN MISTAKES. UPDATES ITS MEMORY. CREATES ITS OWN SKILLS. NO CLOUD. EVERYTHING STORED LOCALLY. THIS IS HOW THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP WORKS. most agents start from zero every session. Hermes carries forward what it learned. THREE MEMORY SYSTEMS: 1. PROCEDURAL MEMORY (how to act) stored in ~/.hermes/skills/ as SKILL.md files. when the agent repeats a complex workflow, it saves the procedure as a reusable skill. next time the same task comes up, it follows the skill instead of figuring it out again. you can also create skills explicitly: "create a skill called video-prep that captures how I format my video scripts. spoken english, define jargon inline, no em-dashes, close with a catchphrase." the agent writes the SKILL.md. available as a slash command from that moment. Hermes ships with 90+ skills. the number grows the longer you use it. 2. SEMANTIC MEMORY (durable facts about you) stored in ~/.hermes/memory/memory.md the agent scans conversations for facts worth remembering. preferences, habits, corrections, project details. real example from the video: agent tried to scrape a YouTube channel. URL was wrong. it failed. it updated memory.md with the correct URL pattern so it never makes the same mistake again. you can also save explicitly: "save to memory that my favorite testing framework is pytest" the agent updates memory.md immediately. this file loads into context on every session. the agent knows you better every week. 3. EPISODIC MEMORY (chat history) stored in ~/.hermes/state.db (local SQLite). every conversation. every tool call. every result. searchable with FTS5 full-text search. "search our past sessions. what was the first thing I ever said to you?" the agent queries state.db and finds it. over time, auxiliary models consolidate episodic memory into semantic memory. distilling recurring patterns into durable facts. THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP: every agent run follows this cycle: → you send a prompt → working memory loads: SOUL.md + memory.md + relevant skills + chat history → agent calls tools (terminal, browser, delegate_task) → agent completes the task, replies to you → AFTER the reply: agent checks "did I learn something worth saving?" → if yes: updates memory.md or creates a new skill → next session starts smarter than the last this happens automatically. you don't ask the agent to learn. it decides what to remember on its own. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM CLAUDE CODE: Claude Code has memory too. but Hermes stores everything locally. no cloud. your data never leaves your machine. Claude Code doesn't auto-create skills from experience. Hermes turns repeated workflows into reusable procedures. Claude Code memory is instruction-based. Hermes memory is conversational and self-updating. over months of usage, Hermes builds a knowledge base of your preferences, your projects, your mistakes, and the procedures that work for your specific workflow. the agent that remembers your birthday also remembers why your last deploy failed. NO EMBEDDINGS. PLAIN TEXT. Hermes does not use embeddings or RAG for memory. skill and memory search runs on plain text keyword matching. simpler. faster. no vector database to maintain. works entirely offline on your local machine. DELEGATE TO CLAUDE CODE: Hermes can spawn a sub-agent that runs Claude Code in headless mode: "spawn a sub-agent using Claude CLI to build a Python script that fetches the top 5 Hacker News stories to markdown." Hermes delegates. Claude Code writes the code. result returns to Hermes. Hermes runs the script and delivers the output. use Hermes for orchestration. use Claude Code for heavy coding. both tools. not competitors. WHAT HERMES DOES NOT HAVE: no built-in eval or LMOps system. no LangSmith, no LangFuse integration out of the box. trajectory export and logs exist but there is no automated quality tracking. if you need eval, build it yourself or connect external tools. the loop is self-improving. measuring how well it improves is on you. comment LOOP and I'll send you the configs that control how fast Hermes learns and what it remembers. memory limits, skill auto-creation triggers, and the auxiliary model that runs the learning. Replace your entire team with 8 hermes agents👇

MOST AI AGENTS RESET TO ZERO EVERY TIME YOU OPEN A NEW SESSION. Hermes Agent was built to do the opposite. Every task compounds. Every workflow becomes reusable. Every session teaches the next one. That is the core thesis behind Hermes, and it completely changes how AI agents work. Unlike most AI agents built by software tool companies, Hermes was created by the researchers training the Hermes model family itself. Meaning: The same system used internally to generate training data is now open source and available to everyone. One install gives you access to: Claude. GPT. Grok. Local models via Ollama. Telegram, Discord, Slack, iMessage integrations. Custom skills. Persistent memory. CLI control. But the real unlock is the compounding loop: You give Hermes a task. It records every tool call, decision, and result. Then it converts successful workflows into reusable skills automatically. A Hermes setup running for 3 months becomes fundamentally smarter than a fresh install. That’s the big idea. One of the coolest parts: You literally watch the agent evolve in real time from a blank install into a personalized AI operator. Instead of watching Netflix today, spend 28 mins with this. Follow Dami-Defi for more AI systems, agent workflows, and infrastructure alpha.

I just tested Hermes Workspace v2 and honestly this is what Hermes should have looked like from the start. Why it matters: • Native chat with your Hermes agents • Mission control style workspace • Task boards for agent workflows • Memory and skills management • File browser and terminal in one UI • Works with local and cloud models • Runs across phone, Mac, PC, iPhone, Android If you like Hermes but hate living in the terminal, this update is for you.

WTF, THIS GUY STOPPED REPLYING TO HIS FRIENDS ON IMESSAGE. NOW HIS HERMES AI AGENT DOES IT FOR HIM AND THEY CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE. Every time he gets a text, Hermes drafts a reply first. He never sends that draft. Instead, he writes his actual response and Hermes compares the two. The gap between what Hermes predicted and what he actually said becomes the training signal. Over time, that gap closes. The agent's drafts get closer and closer to exactly how he talks. His reasoning: email is performative. iMessage is where your real, unfiltered voice actually lives. Most people training AI to sound like them feed it formal writing – essays, emails, LinkedIn posts. That's not how anyone actually talks. This approach trains on the messiest, most honest version of someone's communication style. Quick replies. Half-finished thoughts. The way you actually text your friends. The result is an AI that doesn't write like a corporate version of you. It writes like you, texting at 11pm. This is what real personalization actually looks like, not a prompt that says "sound casual." Bookmark this post. Full breakdown in the video below.

how to set up hermes agent step by step. built-in memory, 40+ tools, works on your phone, and what to think of hermes vs openclaw: 1. hermes is a personal AI agent that runs in your terminal. think of it like open claw but with built-in memory, 40+ tools out of the box, and 90% cheaper token costs. you install it with one command. 2. the 3 problems with open claw that hermes solves: no memory (you keep repeating yourself), constant gateway restarts, and zero visibility into what you're spending on tokens. 3. hermes remembers everything. every completed task gets saved to memory. it searches through past logs to find solutions. over time it literally gets smarter at your specific workflows. 4. connect it to open router. you see exact costs per model per task. free models rotate weekly. one founder went from $130 every five days on open claw to $10 on hermes. same output. 5. it comes preloaded with skills. apple notes, imessage, find my, browser, web search, image generation, cron jobs. no hunting for plugins. 6. connect it to obsidian so it reads your entire vault. connect it to gstack for your dev environment. create custom skills for your specific workflows. 7. the biggest money saver: have it write code once for recurring tasks. then it runs without burning tokens every time. stop paying an LLM to do the same scrape or report daily. 8. run it on android via telegram. name your agents. talk to them like coworkers. in this episode imran shows you how to set this up. 9. you can run it bare metal, in docker, or serverless on modal. pick your risk level. i begged imran to come on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 and walk through the full installation live. he made it impossibly clear. if you've heard of Hermes Agent and want the clearest explanation of how to get set up like a pro let me know what you want me to cover on the next ep this is the best personal agent setup video on the internet right now. watch

HERMES DESKTOP APP JUST GOT A NEW ULTRA MODE FOR DEEPSEEK V4 PRO – AND IT COSTS ABOUT $1 A DAY TO RUN If you're using Hermes desktop app, you're probably already running DeepSeek – it's one of the top models available. The update: → DeepSeek V4 Pro now has thinking mode, fast mode, and a brand new ultra mode → There's also an extra high mode, but the real upgrade is ultra The actual cost: roughly $1/day for a normal workflow. That's about $20-25/month – basically the same as before, just with a significantly faster mode unlocked. The verdict after a full day of testing: it flies through tool calling. Noticeably faster, same price range. If you're already paying for DeepSeek through Hermes, this is a free upgrade sitting in your settings right now. Update Hermes, grab the DeepSeek API if you don't have it yet, and try V4 Pro on ultra. Bookmark this, you'll want to come back to it later.

THIS VETERAN DEVELOPER PUT 2 MAC MINIS ON HIS DESK FOR $1,198 AND TURNED HERMES INTO A LOCAL AI WORKSPACE THAT DOESN’T NEED A $210/MONTH AGENT STACK he is not flexing hardware. he is showing the part most people still miss: once Hermes runs locally, the laptop stops being a chat window and starts acting like a workspace with memory, tools and saved skills two Mac minis, one local setup, zero cloud agent dashboard. research tasks, summaries, client notes and workflow steps stay on his machine instead of disappearing every time a session ends most people keep paying for Claude, wrappers, API calls and automation tools just to repeat the same instructions every day. Hermes cuts the waste by saving the process once and pulling it back when the same job returns the math is ugly for cloud tools. $210/month turns into $2,520/year before you even count extra tokens. his version is hardware once, local workflows after, and no panic when rate limits hit the quiet winners will not be the people with the cleanest chatbot tab. it will be the people who own the machine, the memory and the workflow before everyone else realizes that is the product

HERMES AGENT BUILT A SKILL THAT AUTOMATED AN 8-HOUR WORKFLOW INTO 80 MINUTES. THE AGENT BUILT IT FROM ITS OWN COMPLETED SESSIONS. one user ran their customer pipeline through Hermes repeatedly: meetings → recordings → product requirements → technical specs → development → delivery. after enough runs, Hermes identified the pattern and created a skill that handles the full pipeline: → takes meeting recordings → extracts requirements automatically → runs research on the extracted data → generates product requirement documents → generates technical specifications → delegates the build to a coding agent → sends a link to the finished product what Hermes skills contain: → when to use (trigger conditions) → step-by-step procedure → known pitfalls to avoid → verification steps (how to confirm it worked) stored as markdown in ~/.hermes/skills/. readable, editable, permanent. agents with 20+ self-created skills finish similar future tasks ~40% faster. month 1 you explain everything. month 3 the agent runs your core workflows from the skills it built along the way. full breakdown of Hermes as a Personal AI OS in the article 👇

You need to try Hermes RIGHT NOW. OpenClaw was the breakthrough. Hermes feels like the evolution. Here’s why AI power users are quietly switching: • Hermes learns from you over time • It creates its own reusable skills • Memory stays curated instead of bloated • Agents improve every 10 turns automatically • It actually feels stable on day 30 The wildest part: Hermes agents build workflows from your behavior. One user asked their agent to configure Twingate once. The agent: → learned the process → created a reusable skill → stored it for future tasks → improved its own workflow automatically That’s not prompt engineering anymore. That’s agent evolution. Meanwhile most people are still babysitting broken OpenClaw setups and manually importing marketplace skills. Hermes took a different path: Less clutter. Less tweaking. More autonomy. And it’s working. It already flipped OpenClaw in OpenRouter token usage and became one of the fastest-growing AI repos on GitHub. The bigger shift: We’re entering the era where the model matters less than the harness around it. GPT-5.5, Grok, Qwen: They’re already powerful enough. The real edge now is: • memory systems • self-improvement loops • skill creation • agent orchestration Hermes understands that. Most people still think AI agents are glorified chatbots. The people using Hermes are building AI teammates.

A SELF-IMPROVING KNOWLEDGE BASE THAT GROWS EVERY TIME YOU FEED IT. mentioned this briefly in the overnight workflow article. here is the full breakdown. what it is: a self-improving knowledge base built as interlinked markdown files. unlike RAG (which rediscovers knowledge from scratch every query), the wiki compiles knowledge once and keeps it current. cross-references stay linked. contradictions get flagged automatically. synthesis reflects everything ingested so far. why this matters for Hermes memory: Hermes built-in memory knows YOU. it remembers your conversations, your preferences, your business context across sessions. but it doesn't know your inbox. or your meeting transcripts. or that article you saved last week. or the expert framework you want it to learn. the LLM Wiki solves that. THE DIVISION OF LABOR human curates sources and directs analysis. agent summarizes, cross-references, files, and maintains consistency. you drop in articles, transcripts, notes. Hermes indexes them, links related concepts, flags contradictions, updates affected pages. your knowledge base grows itself. SETUP IS ONE COMMAND the skill ships with Hermes. enable it. set WIKI_PATH in ~/.hermes/.env: WIKI_PATH=/Users/you/wiki defaults to ~/wiki if unset. then drop anything into it: "index this article into my wiki: [paste URL or text]" Hermes reads it, builds a source page, updates related entries, flags contradictions. THE OBSIDIAN ANGLE set OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH to the same directory. now your wiki is visible in Obsidian's graph view. nodes, links, backlinks. all built by Hermes. for headless servers: install obsidian-headless. syncs vaults without a GUI. agent writes from the server, you read on your laptop. THE COMPOUND EFFECT Hermes knows you. the wiki knows your world. combine them and the agent answers questions using BOTH contexts at once. month 1: you explain things twice. month 3: the agent references the wiki on its own. answers get sharper because the knowledge base got sharper. AUTOMATIONS THAT FEED THE WIKI set cron jobs to ingest automatically: "every day at 9am, check Granola for new meetings. add any new transcripts to my wiki under meeting notes." "every morning, scan my Gmail starred items. add anything worth keeping to the wiki." "every week, check arXiv for new papers in [your niche]. summarize and file." your wiki grows while you sleep. Hermes never forgets what gets indexed. THE LIMITATION TO KNOW unlike Hermes memory (which is conversational and lives across sessions), the wiki is a separate knowledge layer. Hermes won't pull from the wiki automatically unless you reference it or save it as a skill. best setup: build an LLM Wiki personality that tells Hermes to consult the wiki when answering strategy questions or domain-specific queries. full HERMES AGENT OVERNIGHT WORKFLOW👇

HERMES AGENT WITHOUT THESE 3 FILES IS A CHATBOT. WITH THEM IT KNOWS WHO IT IS, WHO YOU ARE, AND WHAT IT LEARNED. SOUL.md — who the agent is. first thing in the system prompt. defines personality, voice, values, how it operates, what it can and can't do. structure yours like this: → identity (name, role, relationship to you) → values (what matters, what principles guide decisions) → voice (how it communicates, tone, style) → operations (autonomy level, ground rules) → restrictions (what it never does) → failure protocol (how to operate when things break) lives in ~/.hermes/SOUL.md. auto-seeded on first install. edit anytime. scanned for prompt injection on every load. keep it concise. SOUL.md injects into every turn. a 200-line soul burns tokens on every message. aim for 50-80 lines. one paragraph per section. MEMORY.md — what the agent remembers. persistent facts, insights, preferences. survives across sessions and restarts. capped at ~800 tokens by default: memory: memory_char_limit: 2200 the agent writes to this automatically as it learns about your work. USER.md — who you are. your profile, preferences, context. capped at ~500 tokens by default: memory: user_char_limit: 1375 injected every turn so the agent always knows who it's working for. bonus: AGENTS.md — project-specific instructions. drop one in any project folder. subdirectory AGENTS.md files load lazily during tool calls, not at startup. keeps your system prompt light. prompt stack order on every turn: SOUL.md → tool guidance → MEMORY.md + USER.md → skills index → AGENTS.md → platform hints skills come preloaded. 60+ built-in tools. the agent creates more skills from completed work. you focus on these 3 files. each profile gets its own copy: ~/.hermes/SOUL.md (default profile) ~/.hermes/profiles/researcher/SOUL.md ~/.hermes/profiles/ops/SOUL.md different agent, different soul, different memory, same machine. full breakdown of Hermes as a Personal AI OS in the article 👇

$THIS FRENCH GUY RUNS OPENCLAW AND HERMES AI AGENTS ON A HOMELAB THAT REPLACED GOOGLE DRIVE AND ICLOUD ENTIRELY ON JUST 10 WATTS The project: host his own local AI agents, OpenClaw and Hermes, ditch cloud storage subscriptions entirely by running his own NAS, and use the whole build to prep for his K8s certification – all running on 4 Raspberry Pis. Today's upgrade: a PoE module. One Ethernet cable now does two jobs – powers the Raspberry Pi AND gives it network access at the same time. No separate power adapters, no cable clutter, no juggling connections during maintenance. Total power draw for all 4 Raspberry Pis combined: max 10 watts. He's not renting cloud storage anymore. He's not paying monthly subscriptions for space he already owns the hardware for. His files, his AI agents, his data – all sitting on hardware in his own home, on a fraction of the power a lightbulb uses. Next up: blocking ads network-wide across his entire home, using one of the automation services running on the same setup. This is what "own your data" actually looks like when someone builds it instead of just talking about it. Bookmark this post. Full build in the video below.$

CLAUDE CODE JUST SHIPPED THE FEATURE THAT SOLVES THE BIGGEST PROBLEM EVERY BUILDER HAS WITH AI AGENTS. The problem: Claude starts a task, gets distracted by a sub-problem, goes down a rabbit hole, and never finishes the original thing you asked for. The solution: /goal One command. You set the goal at the start of the session. Claude now has a north star it checks against every action it takes. Not just at the beginning. Throughout the entire session. Every time Claude is about to do something it asks: does this action move me toward the goal the user set or am I drifting? If it is drifting it corrects. If it completes a sub-task it returns to the primary goal. If it hits a blocker it reports back instead of spending 45 minutes solving the wrong problem. This sounds like a small feature. It is not. The reason most people do not trust Claude Code for long autonomous runs is not capability. It is reliability. A Claude Code session that reliably finishes what it started is worth 10 times more than one that is more capable but wanders. /goal is the feature that makes long autonomous sessions reliable. Set the goal. Let it run. Come back to a finished result. Not a result that got 70% done before Claude decided the sub-problem was more interesting. Done. The builders running overnight agent sessions are going to use this command on everything from today forward. Bookmark this. Follow CyrilXBT for every Claude Code feature the moment it ships.
