Added Updated
HermesAgent 101 is the definitive resource hub for Hermes Agent, the open-source autonomous AI agent from Nous Research.

Unlike a copilot or a chatbot wrapper, Hermes runs on your own server — learning your projects, building its own skills, and staying reachable on every device you use. HermesAgent 101 helps you go from zero to a working 24/7 AI assistant in minutes, then guides you through advanced workflows.

What you'll find:
• 5-minute Quickstart: install, configure, chat, gateway, update
• A 17-step Learning Path covering core concepts, slash commands, memory, skills, MCP, cron, skill evolution, and VPS deployment
• Release notes and deep-dives on every Hermes version (v0.8 → v0.14)
• Comparison with OpenClaw and Claude Code, plus a one-shot migration guide
• Curated catalog of community skills and external tutorials
• Continuously updated as Hermes evolves
