Most AI assistants are still session-based.

You give them context, they complete the task, and when the session ends, most of the operational knowledge disappears. The next time you need help, you explain the same project structure, commands, preferences, workflow, and constraints again.

Hermes Agent takes a different approach.

Instead of treating the agent as a temporary chat window, Hermes lets you build persistent agents with identity, memory, skills, profiles, messaging interfaces, and scheduled jobs. This makes it possible to create agents that become more useful across repeated developer and research workflows.

I have just released a new course:

Hermes Agent 101: Persistent Agents, Memory, Skills, and Real Workflows
