Why Hermes Agent

Not another chatbot. An agent that grows.

Hermes Agent is an open-source agent framework by Nous Research. Here's what that means for your business.

Headline feature

Self-improving skills

After each task it writes down what worked as a reusable skill. It gets faster and sharper the more it works, like a staff member who keeps growing.

Headline feature

Persistent memory

It remembers every customer and every conversation across sessions. No more starting from zero.

Private & self-hosted

It runs on your own server. Your data doesn't pass through big-tech platforms.

Model-agnostic

Cloud or local open-source models. We use whichever is best and most cost-effective, with no vendor lock-in.

Lives where your team chats

WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, Discord and email. Message your AI staff like a colleague.

Open & auditable

Open-source code with no black box. Every action can be traced and reviewed.

The learning loop

Your AI staff gets better every week

This is what makes Hermes different. And we keep it on the right track.

1

Works

Handles real tasks inside your workflow

2

3

4

Reviewed

We approve, correct or remove skills each month

Every month you get a Skill & Memory Report: “Your AI staff learned 14 new skills this month.”

Hermes is open-source. Can I just install it?

You can install it. Making it useful is the hard part.

“Hermes is the engine. We build the car, fill the tank, and drive it with you.”

Hermes FAQs

What is Hermes Agent?+

Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent framework by Nous Research. Unlike typical chatbots, it has persistent memory and can create and refine its own skills from experience. It runs on your own server.

If it teaches itself, could it go off track?+

That's exactly why you need a specialist. We set permissions, approval rules and human escalation, and review every learned skill and memory monthly.

Are you affiliated with Nous Research?+

No. We're an independent Auckland agency specialising in deploying and managing Hermes Agent for businesses.

What if something better than Hermes comes out?+

We're Hermes-first, not Hermes-only. Your contract isn't tied to one framework, and your data, knowledge base and workflows stay portable.

Is my data safe?+

Hermes runs on a private server, with NZ/AU hosting options. We follow the NZ Privacy Act 2020, and data ownership and deletion are written into your contract.
