Overview

Hermes Agent is an MIT-licensed open-source AI agent from Nous Research, released in February 2026, built around a persistent memory and self-improvement loop that lets it build reusable skills over time. Its setup wizard can automatically detect and migrate an existing OpenClaw installation (settings, memories, skills, API keys). Like OpenClaw it is a general-purpose agent framework rather than a crypto-native tool; onchain use depends on installed skills/MCP servers.
