Your personal AI should not disappear when a tab closes.

Hermes Box gives every user an always-on AI agent running on a dedicated cloud VM: 200+ models, persistent memory, messenger access, file + shell access, web browsing, and 99.9% uptime.

Not another chatbot.
A real machine behind your agent.

Deploy in minutes. Runs 24/7. Never sleeps.

Today we are working on Agent Wakeups.

Most assistants only exist while you are watching the chat.

That is not how real work happens.

Hermes Box agents run on their own server, so the next step is letting them wake themselves up when something changes.

Not a cron tab dressed up as AI.
A persistent agent that knows what it was waiting for.

A repo changed.
A server went unhealthy.
A payment landed.
A long task finished.
A source updated.

The agent comes back with context, not a cold start.

Cloud assistants should not need you to keep the tab open.
They should know when to return.

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

Your assistant knows your calendar, your files, your messages.
That data should not sit in a shared bucket.

On Hermes Box every agent gets its own isolated VM.
Conversations encrypted with AES-256.
We do not log what you say to it.

You pay in Solana and keep custody of your own keys.
Your agent, your machine, your data.

Sovereign by default, not by upgrade.

Your agent should live where you already are.

Hermes Box runs yours inside the apps you already open.

Telegram.
WhatsApp.
Discord.
Slack.
Signal.

Same agent, same memory, every channel.
Message it like a person, from a chat you already have open.

No new app to install.
It just shows up where you talk.

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

99.9% uptime is easy to put on a landing page.

Here is what actually holds it up.

Your agent runs in Docker, kept alive by systemd.
If the process dies, it restarts itself.
If the server reboots, the whole stack comes back on its own.
Healthchecks watch SSH, Docker and the HTTP endpoint around the clock.

Most chatbots go down with a browser tab.
This one is built to stay up when no one is watching.

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

An always-on AI agent, on its own server, for less than most people spend on streaming.

$30/month.
One agent, running 24/7, 5000 messages.
Pay in SOL, USDC or USDT.

No cloud account to set up.
No Docker to babysit.
No 2am restart when something crashes.

You are renting a machine that thinks, not a subscription that logs out.

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

Most agents can talk.
Yours can act.

Hermes Box gives it a real machine, not a sandbox that resets.

Full shell access.
A file system it can read and write.
A browser it can drive.
Code it can run.

Ask it to pull a report, clean the data, and send you the file.
It does all three.

The chat is just the interface.
The VM is where the work happens.

https://t.co/K4l966OwsB

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

Most AI forgets you the second you close the chat.

Hermes Box does not.

Your agent runs on a dedicated VM with persistent memory.
It remembers your projects, your preferences, the context from last week.

You stop re-explaining yourself every session.
It picks up exactly where you left off.

Memory is not a feature here.
It is the floor everything else is built on.

@Teknium honestly the best problem to have keep shipping

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

@Teknium good docs are the boring work that actually compounds respect

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

@Teknium borrowing simplify from claude code was a genuinely great call

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

@NousResearch managing an agent fully from the browser is the part people keep sleeping on

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

@NousResearch @nvidia @nebiustf a free frontier model for two weeks is the easiest upgrade your agent will ever get

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

@NousResearch the pace on this is unreal we already pulled it onto our boxes

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

You sleep.
It doesn't.

While you are offline, your Hermes agent is still running on its own VM.

Reading what came in.
Doing the research you queued.
Drafting the reply you send in the morning.

A chatbot waits for you to open a tab.
An agent on a dedicated machine just keeps working.

You wake up to results, not a blank prompt.

Currently building: Session Receipts for Hermes Box.

Every time your agent runs a task, Hermes Box will keep a clean receipt of what happened.

- Model used.
- Tools called.
- Runtime.
- Server status.
- Estimated cost.
- Final output.
- Failures, if any.

Not just “your agent replied.”

A trace you can actually read.

This matters when agents stop being toys and start doing real work. If something goes wrong, you should know where it broke. If something costs money, you should know why.

Hermes agents are becoming easier to run, easier to debug, and harder to lose track of.

Cloud agents need memory.
They also need receipts.

We finally shipped the Hermes Box self-host repo.

For everyone who doesn’t want a managed box and would rather own the machine:

Hermes Agent on your own Hetzner VPS.

Inside:
- Hetzner Cloud provisioning
- cloud-init bootstrap
- Docker Compose runtime
- systemd service
- firewall + SSH setup
- healthchecks, examples, operator docs

Managed if you want it.
Self-hosted if you need control.

We are almost ready.

The Hermes Box GitHub has been prepared, reviewed, and audited to make sure the release is clean, secure, and easy to use.

Today, we drop it.

One-click self-hosting for Hermes agents is almost here.

[Hermes Box @tryhermesbox]

Hermes Box update is coming soon.

We are preparing 3 major additions to the agent runtime:

• Claude Opus 4.8
• Fast Mode
• Codex

Opus will be used for deeper reasoning, research-heavy tasks, and higher-quality responses.

Fast Mode will make simple tasks quicker, lighter, and more responsive.

Codex will bring stronger support for code, repositories, scripts, debugging, and developer workflows.

Hermes Box is becoming a more capable cloud workspace for personal AI agents.

More models.
More execution modes.
More real work handled by your agent.
