Nous Research Hermes.
Persistent memory. Remote.
Dispatch tasks to a self-hosted Hermes agent from your browser. The CTRL NODE Bridge connects via the ACP protocol — Hermes runs on your machine, learns from every session, and streams output back live.
Hermes keeps a persistent profile per agent — memory, context, and auto-generated skills survive across sessions. No re-explaining your stack on every task.
