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.
Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
