Hermes Agent has won. Here's why

<p>Check out www.ToolUsePodcast.com</p><p><br></p><p>Hermes Agent has emerged as the open source AI agent that people are choosing. In this episode, we go beyond the hype to understand why. Through conversations with a co-founder of Nous Research, AI engineering veterans, and non-technical builders, we explore what Hermes can actually do today, where it falls short, and why the choice of which agent you use matters more than you think. From self-improving skills and three-layer memory to video dubbing workflows and CAD hardware sourcing. These are real people getting real value from an agent they own. But the deeper story is about what happens when your AI infrastructure is closed vs open. The decisions you make today about which tools you use are shaping the future of AI for everyone. Open source must win, and this episode explains why.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow the amazing guests</p><p>Karan - Co-founder &amp; Head of Behavior, Nous Research: https://x.com/karan4d</p><p>Wolfram Ravenwolf - AI Evangelist and Creator Wolfbench: https://x.com/WolframRvnwlf</p><p>Robert Desmond — Founder &amp; CEO, Farm Friend: https://x.com/twodogseeds</p><p>Evan Roach — Product Developer: https://x.com/evvaaannnn</p><p>Kat Winter - https://x.com/katspigeon</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with us</p><p>https://x.com/ToolUsePodcast</p><p>https://x.com/MikeBirdTech</p><p><br></p><p>00:00:00 - Intro </p><p>00:01:52 - Ambient Agents</p><p>00:05:12 - Why everyone is switching to Hermes Agent </p><p>00:17:53 - Real-World AI Agent Use Cases &amp; Automations </p><p>00:29:59 - Why Open Source Must Win</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe for more insights on AI tools, productivity, and the open source AI movement.</p><p><br></p><p>Join the Tool Use Discord: https://discord.gg/PnEGyXpjaX</p><p><br></p><p>Tool Use is a weekly conversation with the top AI experts.</p>
