Nous Research Open-Sources Hermes Agent With Persistent Memory and Skills

Nous Research has released an open-source agent framework under the MIT license. The system is designed to learn reusable skills, search across persistent session memory, and schedule automations. It can operate through multiple terminals and gateways, giving it a broad surface for executing tasks.

The release highlights how durable memory and operational tooling are becoming standard components in open agent stacks. By retaining information across sessions, the agent can build on previous work rather than starting fresh each time. The ability to schedule actions and work through different interfaces makes it applicable across a range of professional environments, including creative work, customer support, IT operations, marketing, and product development.
