Hermes Agent — what it is
Hermes Agent is Hermes AI Agent: an agent program that lives on your server, keeps files, and opens through a panel in the browser. It is not the Nous Hermes model and not an app you download for Windows.
To keep running when a home computer sleeps, it needs its own server. We take the server, the install, and the updates. Channels, including Telegram, connect after launch.

The real difference
Hermes AI Agent on a server
The agent needs a whole server: its files, its processes, its path to the internet. That is why it keeps working after you close the laptop. Compare with OpenClaw in the questions on the OpenClaw page.
03 — Install and setup
Install and setup. Install it yourself —free*
The project is open, and you can put Hermes Agent on your own VPS. That takes server skills: ports, updates, security, and a terminal. Plus time for the install and setup.
You are not paying for the program. You are paying so someone brings up the server, installs the agent, and then watches the infrastructure.

04 — Telegram
Telegram after launch, not instead of a server
The server and the Hermes Agent panel come up first. Telegram and other channels connect later. They do not block deploy and they do not replace a dedicated VPS.
