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.
A general-purpose AI agent that executes tasks, not just answers them
Give the agent a goal and it plans the steps, chooses tools, and works through the task in a cloud environment without constant supervision.
Produces finished artifacts such as slide decks, functional websites, small games, and formatted documents rather than raw text.
Runs broad, multi-source investigations and compiles the findings into a structured report.
Generates images, video, and music as part of a larger task or as standalone outputs.
Provides powerful reasoning agents and deep research, but lacks Manus's specialized continuous cloud workspace execution.
