Nous Research
The AI research organization behind the Hermes line — best known in the wider field for its open-weight Hermes model fine-tunes, and in this spoke for Hermes Agent, the self-improving autonomous agent framework, and its Profile Builder dashboard. Nous publishes the framework and its companion repos/docs that the community use-case catalog cites as primary sources — among them autonovel, its autonomous novel-writing pipeline.
Why it’s a node here
Nous is the owner/developer common to three pages in this wiki (hermes-agent, hermes-profile-builder, and the deployment evidence in awesome-hermes-usecases); paging it makes that shared provenance explicit rather than re-asserting “from Nous Research” on each page. Its posture — open-source, model-agnostic (200+ models via OpenRouter / Nous Portal / others), no lock-in, and research-ready trajectory generation to train successor models — is what places Hermes at the self-driven/open pole of the agent frameworks this spoke tracks.
