What is Hermes?
Hermes is Nous Research’s open-source AI agent. Like a personal AI assistant, it keeps persistent memory across sessions, can write its own reusable skills, and talks to you over messaging channels such as Telegram, WhatsApp, and Discord. Self-hosting it normally means renting a server, configuring AI keys, and keeping a machine online 24/7. Nominiclaw removes that work and runs Hermes for you as a managed cloud deployment.

Hermes deployment FAQ
Do I need a server or Docker to deploy the Hermes agent?
No. With Nominiclaw you do not rent a server, install Docker, or write any code to run Hermes. Nominiclaw provisions an isolated cloud environment, creates the AI keys, and attaches persistent storage automatically — you only sign in and paste your bot token.
How long does it take to deploy Hermes?
A Hermes deployment on Nominiclaw goes live in under 120 seconds. You watch each step — environment setup, key creation, storage, and health checks — happen in real time.
Should I deploy Hermes or OpenClaw?
Deploy Hermes if you want Nous Research’s agent; deploy OpenClaw if you want the original open-source personal AI assistant. Both deploy on Nominiclaw with the same one-click flow, so you can start with one and try the other later.
What channels can my deployed Hermes bot connect to?
A single Hermes deployment connects to Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, and dozens of other channels, running 24/7 in the cloud without keeping your own computer online.
