@maomao000211 @NousResearch Chat window was in telegram with the gateway on my vps

A macOS beta bricked my Mac mini. I texted an AI agent from my phone and it rebuilt my entire business on the reinstalled machine while I did nothing. That's an average week with Hermes Agent, and it's why I think it's the best agent in the world right now. Here's what happened. The agent living on my VPS had been quietly keeping a backup of my business files. When the Mac came back from the dead, I sent one message. It restored everything. No drives, no hunting for files, no lost weekend. Most agents are a chat window you have to sit in front of. Hermes runs a messaging gateway, so the agent lives inside the apps already on your phone, with the same memory behind every surface. That's what makes the other stories possible. Last week I was away from my office and my desktop app wouldn't connect remotely, because it had updated past the version my web connection supported. I messaged one of my agents. It repaired the connection. A client called with an emergency. Their employees were locked out of the time tracking app they clock in with. I reset the password from my phone, on the road, before the call ended. None of that works if each agent is an island. Mine aren't. I run a fleet across a VPS, a Mac, and Windows machines, and they share memory by default through an Obsidian wiki. Whatever one agent figures out, they all know. I stopped re-explaining my business to software. It also keeps getting better without me. Hermes writes its own skills after hard tasks, improves them as it uses them, and searches past conversations to recall what it already solved. Every fix becomes permanent knowledge instead of a one-off. Then there's the model situation. Hermes isn't married to one company. I run it on my Claude Max, ChatGPT Pro, SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Google AI Pro subs, and OpenRouter covers every new model those don't. When something new drops, I'm using it the same day. When one quota runs dry, I route around it. It can even drive Claude CLI and Codex CLI when a job calls for them. It manages the specialists instead of competing with them. And it's open source. Nous Research released Hermes Agent under the MIT license in February 2026. By early October they'd raised $90M at a $1.5B valuation, with downloads reported past 24 million, and they say it stays open while they build business editions on top. That's the opposite of a black box that changes on you overnight. Every agent claims to save you time. Hermes is the first one that saved me when something was actually on fire. If your agent only works when you're at your desk, you have a tool. I have a staff.

@jilyannori @NousResearch Try it out. What have you got to lose? Other than finding out what it feels like to get work done through a messaging app

@HermesWatcher GPT 6.1 Sol mostly because my Pro subscription isn’t as valuable to me as my Claude Max sub. It replaced Grok 4.7

JENSEN closed his keynote with Hermes!!!! One prompt and he had a custom Hermes installed and set up...... Hermesmaxxing just went mainstream. x.com/NousResearch/s…

Jensen closed his GTC Berlin 2026 keynote with this Hermes Agent demo as the finale. He introduced it by saying the way to build an agent is to ask an agent to build it for you, so he installed and set up a customized Hermes in one prompt. Then he used Hermes, running on

Claude Duet or Hermes Agent? Be honest...... I know most people haven't used Duet yet but I have a feeling most people will have already decided before even using it. x.com/testingcatalog…

@NousResearch @Kshitijjkapoor Nailed it. Comments like this are why I'm proud to be part of the Hermes community!!!

Wait....... Claude Duet can BUY things for your business?? That's the part small business owners should be watching. Reordering supplies is exactly the boring job everybody wants off their plate!!!! Hermes has had this capability form the start though!!! x.com/testingcatalog…

Ok Anthropic has now entered the battle between Hermes, Openclaw, Grok Bot, Muse, and OpenAI's Dots Anyone want to predict how this will land? I can easily see this going good and bad.

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

Claude now RE-SCANS your code every time something lands?? And marks the finding fixed on its own when you fix it...... Same day OpenAI drops the PHP bug. Security is the new fight between these two and they BOTH know it!!!! x.com/claudeai/statu…

Claude Security now keeps up with your code as it changes. Connect your repositories once. Claude runs a deep first scan, then re-scans as changes land, so findings stay close to the current state of your code. In public beta on Claude Enterprise.

@purrdoom patrickgibbs.dev

@purrdoom I'll do it for $400......assuming this isn't a 300 page website with a bunch of backend services

@midotalks @ConnorTalksAI I second @midotalks comment exactly. I had fun troubleshooting and navigating Clawdbot when it was first released. But Hermes is absolutely dominating, and for good reason. Nous Research ships premium updates constantly.

@Srishti__SaaS Let's connect. I'm following you now. Follow Back.....

15x in a YEAR and they're still lining up $600B+ in compute?? Nobody signs up for that unless they KNOW the demand is coming. Anthropic is going ALL IN...... x.com/kimmonismus/st…

Anthropic reportedly grew revenue nearly 15x while taking on more than $600B in future compute commitments. WSJ reviewed a draft IPO prospectus: - H1 revenue jumped from $1.1B to $16.3B. Compute and infrastructure spending rose from $2.3B to nearly $9B. - Revenue is scaling

@dancluderay Nice. First I've heard of that one but I can see it's value for sure

If you run a small business, what are you handing to an AI agent FIRST? Missed calls Lead follow ups Booking appointments Invoices and bookkeeping Something else

@BkashJosi Exactly. I experimented with many different ways to resume new sessions with minimal context and I landed on that one

@turnerpeters @HermesWatcher Extraction. Embedding. Finding the right balance between a capable model and cost efficient model for knowledge curation.

FINALLY. The update everybody running agents all day actually needed!!!! Keeping one alive from morning to night just got a lot cheaper...... x.com/OpenAIDevs/sta…

You can now choose 12-hour prompt caching in the API. Persistent agents, like dots, reuse context throughout the day. You can keep shared instructions, tools, and context cached longer and pay the lower cached-input rate, even when requests are hours apart.
