I recently started exploring Hermes Agent, and honestly, it blew me away. If you’ve ever wanted an AI that can learn on its own, remember everything, and even improve its own skills, this is it. I want to share exactly how I set it up and how you can do the same. What Hermes Agent Can Do From my experience, Hermes is not just another AI tool. Here’s what it can do: Learn from every interaction and store memory permanently Build and improve its own skills automatically Work with hundreds of AI models seamlessly Integrate directly with Telegram so it can actually perform tasks for you Basically, it’s like having an AI teammate who keeps getting smarter every day. Why I Chose Hermes Over OpenClaw I tried OpenClaw, but it felt limited because you had to create all the skills manually. With Hermes: Skills are generated and improved automatically You save a lot of time and effort It’s faster, scalable, and more reliable for running autonomous workflows Some Things I Automated Using Hermes Here’s what I’ve been able to do after setting it up: Watch a YouTube video, extract insights, and summarize key points Generate content and post it automatically to LinkedIn Test different workflows where Hermes adapts and improves its output over time How I Set Up Hermes Step by Step If you want to get your own Hermes agent running, here’s the workflow I followed: VPS Setup : I deployed Hermes on a DigitalOcean VPS so it can run 24/7 Installing Hermes Agent : I followed the installation process carefully to avoid missing dependencies Telegram Bot Setup : Using BotFather, I created a Telegram bot and linked it to Hermes Running the Agent : I tested workflows to make sure Hermes remembers past interactions and executes tasks correctly Troubleshooting and Optimization : I handled common errors and tweaked settings for better performance Why You’ll Find This Useful I know there are lots of AI tutorials out there, but most skip the hands-on details. This approach shows you exactly how to get Hermes running and performing real-world tasks for you. You’ll see it in action, step by step.
