Hermes Agent: from zero to your first agent

Hermes Agent is an open agent by Nous Research. It works with files, runs commands, uses tools and follows schedules. On MultiBrains it comes as a service — nothing to install.

What you need

• An email address.
• About two minutes.
• Nothing else. No terminal, no Docker, no Python.

Step 1: account

Open sign in and register. No card during the beta.

Step 2: agent

In the dashboard click Create agent, pick a name and a size. Standard (2 cores, 4 GB) is enough to start. It boots in half a minute.

Step 3: first task

Be specific. Instead of "help me with marketing", try: "Read competitor pricing at [address] and build a CSV table."

A concrete prompt is half the result: the agent must know what should exist and where it should end up.

Step 4: the result

Find it in the Files tab. Files survive sleep and closing the browser.

When something breaks

• No answer — send the message again; if it slept, it wakes in 3–5 seconds.
• Generic answer — give a sharper goal and output format.
• Start over — open a new thread; the old one stays.
