Heremes Agent is a new autonomous AI agent from Nous Research https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent

It is like Openclaw but has a different architecture that makes it much simpler for many things. I wrote a launcher that installs hermes as well as the gateway and automatically lets you walk through the onboarding and start.

Here's a 52 second video of me going from install to setup to the first interaction with hermes:

And here i am asking Hermes agent to run video generation. Hermes automatically starts talking to Pinokio, finds the relevant app (#Wan2GP), launches it when not already launched, and then makes a request, and then returns the video.

And of course, the messaging gateway works out of the box, so you can connect to things like

  • whatsapp
  • telegram
  • discord
  • slack
  • matrix
  • mattermost

and start talking to hermes via those channels. For example:
