What is Hermes Agent? Memory, tools, Geek Hub

Hermes Agent (Nous Research) is a persistent agent: memory across sessions, reusable skills, and a broad tool set (search, browser, vision, subagents). These apps burn tokens—exactly where a clear-cost gateway helps.

What is Hermes?

More than autocomplete, Hermes targets agents that live over time: remember context, schedule work, and delegate to subagents.

Key features

  • Cross-session memory
  • Reusable skills
  • Tools: web, browser, vision, automations
  • Subagents for parallel work

Hermes + Geek Hub

Long-running agents burn tokens. Geek Hub centralizes keys, shows cost per run, and lets you drop to cheaper models for subtasks.

  1. Point the agent runtime at an OpenAI-compatible base URL
  2. Use cheap models for classify/routing and stronger ones for final plans
  3. Watch usage.cost_* or the dashboard
