Hermes Agent

AI Agent

What is Hermes Agent?

Hermes Agent is an open-source, self-hosted AI agent from Nous Research. Installed on your own server and connected to your messaging accounts, it becomes a persistent personal agent — learning your projects, building its own reusable skills, and reaching you wherever you are. It combines persistent memory, automated skill creation, and multi-platform messaging in a single open-source package.

Why Host Hermes Agent on a CloudBlast VPS?

An agent that runs 24/7 needs reliable, always-on infrastructure. CloudBlast's AMD EPYC processors and NVMe storage keep Hermes responsive as its memory and skill library grow, while 10 Gbps networking and DDoS protection keep its messaging gateways connected. Self-hosting on your own VPS also means every conversation and memory stays private to you — no telemetry and no cloud lock-in.

One-click deployment gets your Hermes Agent running in under a minute, ready to connect your model and messaging platforms.

Key Use Cases

  • Personal Assistant - Keep an always-on agent that remembers your projects and reaches you on Telegram, Discord, or Slack.
  • Automated Workflows - Let Hermes write and reuse skills to handle recurring tasks without re-explaining them each time.
  • Private AI - Run a capable agent entirely on your own infrastructure with no data leaving your server.
  • Team Bots - Connect Hermes to shared Slack or Discord channels as a knowledgeable, persistent teammate.

Hermes Agent hosting features

Persistent Memory

Hermes remembers your preferences, projects, and environment across every session — the longer it runs, the better it knows you.

Automated Skill Creation

When Hermes solves a hard problem it writes a reusable skill document so it never forgets how. Skills are searchable, shareable, and compatible with the agentskills.io standard.

Multi-Platform Messaging

Connect Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and the CLI through a single gateway so your agent reaches you wherever you are.

15+ Inference Backends

Bring your own model. Hermes works with OpenRouter, Nous Portal, a local Ollama server, and 15+ other inference backends out of the box.

Fully Self-Hosted & Private

All data stays on your own server with no telemetry, no tracking, and no cloud lock-in.

One-Command Install

Deploy in seconds — one command to install and one command to start, pre-configured on your CloudBlast VPS.
