What is a Hermes agent
Not a chatbot. A persistent AI employee.
A Hermes agent is a long-running AI agent built on the open-source Hermes stack. It has real memory across sessions, real tools (browsing, code execution, function calls, RAG over your data), and real guardrails (budgets, allow-lists, audit logs). It talks over WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, MCP, REST or your terminal.
Deploy one on managed Hermes agent hosting and it's live in 30 seconds with GPT-5.5 + Sonnet 4.6 credits included - no Docker, no SSH, no separate model billing.
Note: the name "Hermes" is also used by Nous Research for their open-source LLM family. Donely's Hermes agent runtime builds on that lineage - we ship the memory, tools, channels, guardrails and hosting around it.
Capabilities
Everything a Hermes agent can do.
Runs on every channel your users are on
WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, iMessage, SMS, email and web chat - one toggle each. Your Hermes agent listens everywhere at once.
Persistent memory & tools
Long-term memory, RAG over your docs, function calling, browsing, code execution - all wired in. Not a stateless chatbot.
MCP, REST & CLI ready
Talk to your Hermes agent from Claude Desktop over MCP, from any backend over REST, or from your terminal with the Hermes CLI.
Guardrails, budgets & audit logs
Per-agent spend caps, allow-listed tools, PII redaction and full audit trails. Ship agents your security team will actually sign off on.

FAQ
Hermes agent, answered.
A Hermes agent is a persistent AI agent built on the open-source Hermes stack (originally from Nous Research), extended by Donely with production tooling. Unlike a stateless chatbot, a Hermes agent has long-term memory, real tools (browsing, code execution, function calls, RAG), guardrails and budgets - and it stays online between conversations. Think 'AI employee', not 'chat window'.
Nous Research publishes the Hermes family of open-source language models. Donely's Hermes agent is a full agent runtime on top of that stack: memory, tools, channels (WhatsApp/Telegram/Slack), guardrails, MCP + REST + CLI, and managed hosting. If you want the raw model weights, get them from Nous. If you want an agent that actually runs 24/7 and does work, that's what we host.
The fastest path is managed Hermes agent hosting on Donely - a working agent in 30 seconds with GPT-5.5 and Claude Sonnet 4.6 credits included. You can also self-host with Docker, but you'll be responsible for updates, channels, monitoring and inference billing.
Yes. Hermes agents on Donely support full BYOK: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, Together, Groq and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint - including your own local model. Or use Donely's included GPT-5.5 + Sonnet 4.6 credits so your agent starts working the moment it deploys.
Yes. Every Hermes agent on Donely exposes an MCP server (usable from Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients), a REST API, and the Hermes CLI - so you can talk to your agent from a terminal, a script, or an IDE, in addition to messaging channels.
