Hermes Agent - The Agent That Grows With You

Skill Level
Intermediate
Duration 3 hours
Updated Oct 14, 2026

About this learning path

Learn how Hermes Agent remembers its operator, writes its own skills, delegates work to subagents and routes high-stakes decisions to a Mixture-of-Agents review board. Two hands-on labs put it into practice: first you teach Hermes about yourself, then you work a live storefront outage from diagnosis to a fix checked by quality gates.
