brew install hermes-agent
v2026.6.19
MIT
Self-improving AI agent daemon written in Rust that learns and creates skills from conversation experience.
Why you might care
Hermes Agent runs locally as a background service, building domain-specific skills through interaction without requiring manual prompt engineering. It's useful if you want an AI assistant that adapts to your workflows over time; the self-improving aspect and cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux) differentiate it from stateless API-based LLM clients. Runtime includes Python 3.14 and cryptography for secure local operation.
