Thanks for the feedback. The main idea is that today to built a best-in-class agent, developers build the agent loop, session management, tools, memory, skills, automations (cron + trigger-based), sandboxed deployment, and self-learning.

By providing Hermes with a system prompt, custom tools, and skills, developers get the agent loop, session management, automations, sandboxed deployment, and self-learning for free.



But effectively they’re deferring harness engineering onto another developer?? I don’t understand how this is different than any other library, ever


Yes by using us developers are deferring the harness engineering onto us, and they can spend time writing code for their business logic.

We are closer to infrastructure than a library or framework; we give developers a live agent they can chat with in a single API call.
