Hermes Agent

​
Install Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent is an open-source, self-improving AI agent built by Nous Research. It features persistent cross-session memory, a built-in learning loop, 40+ integrated tools, and multi-platform access (CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp). Run the one-line installer in your terminal:
Verify the installation:
For more information, refer to the Hermes Agent documentation.

​
Configure MiniMax Token Plan

When using the one-click setup wizard, you can skip the manual installation above and run:
Select Hermes Agent. If it is missing, keep Hermes Agent selected in the second multi-select. The wizard runs the official installer’s non-interactive core CLI stages, skips optional flows such as setup and gateway, and checks hermes --version. It then updates ~/.hermes/config.yaml and ~/.hermes/.env.See One-click setup wizard for command options and backup behavior.
Don’t have resources yet? View your Subscription Key on the Token Plan page, then buy a Token Plan subscription or Credits, or use resources assigned by your Team. Subscription Keys are different from pay-as-you-go API Keys.

​
Start Using Hermes Agent

Run hermes to start talking with Hermes Agent powered by the latest MiniMax M-series models.
Hermes Agent’s persistent memory and self-improving skills system means it gets better the more you use it — your coding patterns, project context, and preferences are remembered across sessions automatically.

Toggle thinking

Toggle thinking at runtime with /reasoning: none turns it off, any other level (minimal/low/medium/high/xhigh) turns it on.
