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.
