SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent framework that runs in terminals, messaging platforms, and IDEs, enabling you to configure, extend, and contribute to an evolving autonomous system with persistent context, multi-provider support, and pluggable memory and tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Self-improving through skills: persist reusable procedures as skills that load into future sessions.
  • Persistent memory across sessions: remember user preferences, environment details, and learned lessons with pluggable memory backends.
  • Multi-platform gateway: run on terminal, gateways, and platforms with full tool access and policy enforcement.
  • Provider-agnostic: swap models/providers mid-workflow without changing the rest of the setup.
  • Profiles & extensibility: isolate configs, sessions, skills, memory, and support plugins, MCPs, webhooks, and cron.
  • Use Case: Set up a development Hermes Agent with multiple skills and a shared memory backend across environments.

Quick Start

Install Hermes Agent and start a sample session to explore setup, skill loading, and basic spawning.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure an AI agent to keep persistent memory across sessions?

To configure an AI agent with persistent memory across sessions, you can use a pluggable memory backend that remembers user preferences, environment details, and learned lessons for future contexts.

Can I swap AI model providers mid-workflow without changing my entire agent setup?

Yes, you can swap AI models or providers mid-workflow without changing the rest of your setup, as the framework supports provider-agnostic configurations across multiple platforms.

How do I extend an autonomous AI agent with custom skills and procedures?

You extend an autonomous AI agent by persisting reusable procedures as skills that automatically load into future sessions, allowing the system to self-improve and evolve over time.

Does this AI agent framework support deployment through messaging platforms and IDEs?

Yes, the framework supports deployment as a multi-platform gateway, enabling you to run the agent in terminals, messaging platforms, and IDEs with full tool access and policy enforcement.

What is the best way to isolate configurations and sessions for different AI agent environments?

The best way to isolate configurations and sessions is by using profiles, which separate configs, sessions, skills, memory, and support plugins across different development environments.

How do I troubleshoot and spawn additional AI agent instances across multiple providers?

You troubleshoot and spawn additional AI agent instances by configuring the agent locally or via gateways, enabling setup, spawning, and extension across multiple providers and memory backends.
