Overview

Hermes is Nous Research's coding-first agent framework — positioned as the OpenClaw upgrade. Each profile is an independent agent with its own memory store, gateway process and cron. It ships with terminal + browser automation, Python RPC subagents, and namespace-isolated container hardening across five backends (local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal).

Key features
