A free, open-source personal AI agent that learns your projects and works across every messaging app.
Hermes keeps conversations, memories, and skills between sessions, and turns solutions it has already found into reusable capabilities you can call again.
Connect Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, email, and the CLI to a single agent with one shared memory, so context follows you across platforms.
Describe recurring reports, backups, or daily briefings in plain language and let them run unattended through the gateway.
Spawn isolated subagents with their own conversations, terminals, and Python RPC scripts to run zero-context-cost pipelines in parallel.
An agentic analytics platform that turns questions into governed, trusted answers
Ask a question in plain language and get a reasoned answer with the SQL, charts and tables behind it, available in the Hex workspace, in Slack and from developer tools.
Write SQL, Python and R side by side in one project, then turn cells into interactive, parameterised data apps and dashboards without a separate BI authoring tool.
Centralise metrics, semantics and corporate definitions so answers stay consistent, and see exactly where the agent lacked grounding so you can fix it.
Run graded, rubric-based test suites against the agent to measure answer quality and catch regressions as your data and context evolve.
