Run Hermes Agent 24/7 without setting up a server
Hermes is an open-source AI assistant that remembers you, learns skills and works on a schedule. It needs a computer that never switches off. On Uno it already has one.
Why it’s hard today
- Hermes on your laptop stops when you close the lid.
- A VPS means SSH, Docker, updates and keys in plain-text files.
- An agent in a loop can burn through an API budget overnight.
