Open-source personal AI assistant that runs on your own machine and works from chat apps
Self-hosted by design, so memories, skills, models, and data never leave infrastructure you control.
Operate the assistant from WhatsApp, Telegram, or another client you already use instead of a new dashboard.
The agent performs actions such as organizing inboxes, sending email, managing calendars, and handling check-ins.
Extend capabilities with skills and plugins and keep context that carries across conversations.

A cloud-hosted Hermes AI agent that stays online and learns you over time
The Hermes agent runs in the cloud continuously, so scheduled jobs and monitors continue even when your own devices are offline.
Project facts, conventions and communication preferences are retained, so the agent adapts to your style and needs less repeated context.
Connect the agent to WeChat, QQ, WeCom, DingTalk, Feishu and international messengers so it lives inside your existing conversations.
Create cron reminders, recurring reports and monitoring rules that trigger on conditions such as order delays or price drops.
