Hermes: the self-evolving agent that lives in your terminal
Hermes is a BYOK autonomous agent from Nous Research built for long-running tasks. Inside ClawBud it runs on a private cloud computer with a browser-based TUI — give it a mission and watch it reason for hours, not messages. It is strongest as one agent inside a larger Agentic OS.
What makes Hermes different
Hermes is terminal-native and self-evolving: it modifies its own context and strategy as it works, and is not bounded by chat-turn limits.
- Terminal-native — runs in a TUI alongside your other tools
- BYOK — use your Anthropic, OpenAI or Nous key; zero ClawBud credits consumed
- Self-evolving — adjusts its own strategy each run
- Long-running — reasons for hours, iterates on plans, follows through
- Tool integration — shell commands, APIs or your own scripts
How it works
Bring your key, open the Hermes TUI in-browser, and give it a mission. It plans, executes and reports back when done — all on a private, managed machine.
