Hermes Agent is an open-source, self-hosted autonomous agent by Nous Research. Pyra designs, deploys, and manages it for GTM, Sales, Marketing, and Operations workflows — running on infrastructure you control, with guardrails and human approval gates around every action.We handle provisioning, credential scoping, skill curation and review, and the human-approval workflow so the platform is built for accountable, long-running work.
A long-running agent that curates research, drafts outreach, and keeps records tidy — on infrastructure you control, with approval gates before anything ships.
Skills that get more capable the longer they run — for account research, content drafts, and campaign prep, all reviewed by your team before use.
An autonomous agent you can reach from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM — with scoped credentials, guardrails, and audit trails around its actions.
According to Nous Research's documentation, Hermes Agent is "the self-improving AI agent" with "a built-in learning loop — it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to persist knowledge, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions." Nous Research also describes it as "the only agent" with that loop — a claim we attribute to the vendor rather than state as our own.
Per Nous Research, Hermes Agent is not a coding copilot or chatbot wrapper — it is an autonomous agent that "gets more capable the longer it runs." That makes it a fit for the long-running GTM and operations work Pyra configures around it.
According to Nous Research, the agent runs on "a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure (Daytona, Modal) that costs nearly nothing when idle." It is not tied to a laptop — you can talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM. It installs on Linux, macOS, WSL2, native Windows, and Android (Termux), with a desktop installer available.
Hermes Agent is open source under the MIT license and, per Nous Research, has 230,000+ GitHub stars as of August 17, 2026. The Nous Portal uses one OAuth to cover a model plus four Tool Gateway tools: web search, image generation, text-to-speech, and browser.
We pick one GTM, Sales, Marketing, or Operations workflow with a clear result and stand up a focused pilot so you can validate value before expanding.
We connect your tools, provision the self-hosted deployment, scope credentials, and set guardrails, approval gates, and access boundaries around every action.
We monitor, curate and review skills, tune performance, and expand to new workflows — with audit trails on the agent's actions throughout.
No. Pyra is an independent implementation partner. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Nous Research. We design, deploy, and manage Hermes Agent workflows on the platform for our clients.
Hermes Agent is self-hosted — you can run it on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure such as Daytona or Modal. Because it runs on infrastructure the client controls, Pyra scopes credentials, sets access boundaries, and configures approval gates so data stays in your environment.
No. We configure human review and approval gates around the agent's actions. Hermes Agent can draft, research, and prepare work, but actions that touch your systems or contacts pass through your team before they go live, with audit trails.
Hermes Agent is an actively developed open-source project by Nous Research; the recent release is v0.20.0, dated August 3, 2026. We start with a scoped pilot on one workflow so you can validate results before expanding.
Start Free to scope a first workflow. Then we provision the self-hosted deployment, set credential scoping and approval gates, and manage it as your skills compound.
