About hermes-agent
NousResearch/hermes-agent
The agent that grows with you
Implements a closed learning loop with autonomous skill creation, FTS5-based session search with LLM summarization, and Honcho dialectic user modeling across conversations. Supports multi-platform deployment (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, CLI) through a unified gateway, plus six terminal backends including serverless options (Daytona, Modal) that hibernate when idle. Model-agnostic with built-in cron scheduling, subagent parallelization, and MCP integration for extensible tool ecosystems.
About reina
Crustocean/reina
Autonomous AI agent for Crustocean, powered by Hermes Agent from Nous Research
Implements **Social Gradience**, enabling the agent to autonomously participate in conversations through probabilistic relevance weighting rather than explicit mentions—driven by a motive ecology of ~40 circadian-weighted impulses that evolve fitness through live engagement feedback. Built as a Crustocean platform adapter that plugs into Hermes Agent's gateway architecture, with tool-call tracing, ambient gating, response sanitization, and a self-perpetuating wake loop (default 10–25 min intervals) that defaults to silence unless social context warrants participation.
