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.

Open-source Rust coding agents for your terminal, built for parallelism
Each additional jcode session costs megabytes rather than hundreds of megabytes, and a new session is ready for input in well under a tenth of a second, so you can run many agents on hardware you already own.
Launch multiple agents in parallel, hand off long jobs to background or headless execution, and keep durable task state so work survives interruption.
The jcode bench suite (float-print, json-unescape, utf16-transcode) scores optimization depth on an analog axis with no capping timeouts, so capability differences stay visible.
Agents rate confidence when a task item is assigned and again when it is finished; a sudden jump triggers forced re-verification instead of blind acceptance.
