DSH getting more expensive the longer you use it, forgetting everything when you switch sessions, not being able to see images, clunky web search, and not knowing which plugin to install?

Hermes Agent, an open-source project from Nous Research, is the same kind of product as OpenClaw but works quite differently: it creates skills on its own from conversations, improves them as it's used, remembers you across sessions, and can dispatch sub-agents to work in parallel. In our testing it ran alongside OpenClaw and could revive it when something broke. MIT licensed.
