Hermes by Nous Research: your own AI agent, on a server of yours. Set up and run by Aria. No terminal.

What it is

Why Hermes in Aria

The same Hermes, made safe and simple.

Hermes is one of the most capable open-source AI agents: it remembers, learns new skills, works on a schedule and answers wherever you are. Run it on your own computer and it can reach everything on it. In Aria it runs on a server of yours instead, set up for you.
