Starter packs

We like open-source agents because we can change them and take them with us. Running one on a rented virtual machine means we don't need to buy a Mac mini just to try it.

It still took hours to get our agents working the way we wanted. So people in our community have put together these Hermes agents and skills to give you a head start.

Run one with us while you try it. Copy your setup and data anytime, and move it to your own cloud machine or computer.
