Self-evolving
An agent that gets sharper every day.
Hermes isn’t a stateless chatbot. It remembers, it learns from the work it does, and it compounds, so it needs less from you the longer it runs.
Deep memory retention
Remembers context, preferences, and past work across sessions. No repeating yourself.
Compounding efficiency
The more it runs, the faster it gets. Yesterday’s work makes today’s quicker.
Voice mode
Talk to it out loud and hear it answer back. It speaks and transcribes voice notes out of the box, with no key to add.
One AI, every role
One assistant that wears every hat.
The same Hermes agent adapts to the job in front of it, and remembers how you like it done.

Hosting Hermes
A Hermes agent, always on, without the ops.
Hermes is Nous Research’s open-source agent: memory first, skills that improve with use, conversation as the interface. Here is what it is, what hosting it on Diali means, and how that compares with the other ways to run it.
What the Hermes agent is
An open-source personal agent from Nous Research built around memory: it keeps context across sessions, improves its own skills as it works, and is the conversational daily driver next to OpenClaw’s autonomous one.
Hosted, on its own instance
Your agent runs 24/7 in its own kernel-sandboxed workspace in the EU, with its memory kept private and your keys in an encrypted vault. Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Matrix and SMS connect from the dashboard, it can message your other assistants, the Computer add-on gives it a private Linux desktop, and every plan includes a monthly balance of AI credits.
Nous Research’s own hosted option
Nous runs Hermes Cloud, billed per instance-day from credits with inference on top, reaching Telegram, Discord, Slack, email and a CLI. Diali is a per-assistant plan with AI credits included, also reaches WhatsApp and SMS, and lets one account run a Hermes and an OpenClaw side by side. Different shapes for different needs, and the same open-source agent underneath.
Your own machine or VPS
Running Hermes yourself means a runtime to update, a gateway process to keep alive, keys stored on the box and a backup story you write. It is the right call when you want the box. Otherwise the hosted version is the same agent with those four jobs removed.

Built for trust
Confidential by construction.
Your agent’s memory and secrets live in an isolated, kernel-sandboxed workspace, encrypted at rest, and are never shared or used for training.
Kernel-level sandboxing (gVisor)
Your agent runs in a gVisor sandbox on dedicated nodes, with kernel-level isolation between your workspace and everything else.
Secrets in a managed vault
API keys and tokens live in Google Secret Manager: encrypted at rest, scoped to your agent, never logged.
Isolated by construction
One namespace per assistant, with network policies that keep it off our internal network and the cloud metadata server. Assistants cannot see each other.
Memory kept private
Your agent’s deep memory lives in its own isolated instance and is never shared or used for training.

FAQ
Questions about Hermes on Diali.
Everything worth knowing before you give your agent a home.
Hermes is a self-improving AI agent: the core engine that learns from every task, keeps deep memory across sessions, and gets faster the more it runs. Diali is the managed cloud that runs it for you, 24/7, with no servers to manage.
Hermes is the learning engine: memory, self-evolving skills, compounding efficiency. OpenClaw is the multi-channel orchestrator with broad messaging and integration support. On Diali you pick the engine that fits each assistant.
Yes. Hermes retains context, preferences, and past work in its own deep memory, so you don’t repeat yourself, and it applies what it learned to the next task.
Your agent runs in its own gVisor-sandboxed workspace with kernel-level isolation, on EU infrastructure. Secrets live in Google Secret Manager, encrypted at rest and scoped to your agent, and your conversations are never used for training.
Yes, though you don’t have to. By default your agent runs on Diali AI credits, a balance that comes with your plan and tops up in a couple of clicks, with no AI account of your own to set up. If you’d rather use your own provider account (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and others), plug in your key and they bill you directly for that usage.
ChatGPT is a chat window you visit. Hermes is an always-on agent with persistent memory that lives in your messaging apps, connects to your tools, and actually does the work, not just answers questions.
Nothing to install. Diali is hosted Hermes: the agent, its memory and its channels run on an instance provisioned for you, in its own sandbox, and you talk to it from Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Matrix or SMS.
Both run the same open-source agent. Hermes Cloud is billed per instance-day from Nous credits, with inference charged on top, and reaches Telegram, Discord, Slack, email and a CLI. Diali is a per-assistant plan that includes a monthly balance of AI credits, hosts the agent in the EU in a kernel-sandboxed workspace, adds WhatsApp and SMS, and lets one account run a Hermes and an OpenClaw together. Hermes Cloud details as published by Nous on 2026-09-15.
Plans are billed per agent, and every plan includes a monthly balance of AI credits, so there is no separate AI subscription. Prices are on the pricing page and render live from the catalog. The cost calculator estimates what a month of usage adds on top.
