About Docs

Hermes Agent Documentation covers Hermes Agent, an autonomous AI agent built by Nous Research. The agent creates skills from experience, improves them during use, and keeps memory across sessions. The documentation describes it as running wherever it is deployed rather than only on a laptop, and says it can be reached through messaging platforms such as Telegram while working on a remote machine.

The documentation covers installation for Linux, macOS, WSL2, and native Windows, with a desktop installer for Windows and macOS. Android devices with aarch64 processors use a separate Termux guide. The agent works with Nous Portal, OpenRouter, OpenAI, or any compatible endpoint. Pricing is not stated on the page. The page says a Nous Portal subscription bundles web search, image generation, text-to-speech, and browser tools, but it does not specify which plans include them. Using cloud backends or external model providers means data is handled by those services, and the page does not describe how that data is stored or retained.
