Hermes Agent Meetup
The builders who care most about control over their agent stack keep landing on the same name. It is not the one you expect.
Hermes Agent is the open, neutrally aligned agent stack from Nous Research, built for builders who want full control over reasoning, tools, and orchestration without being locked into a frontier lab’s roadmap.
The AI Capitol will host an intimate showcase walking through what Hermes actually is, how it behaves in the wild, and where it fits in the rapidly shifting agent landscape.
What to expect:
Live Hermes demo Architecture breakdown in plain language Concrete use cases across research, automation, and product workflows Candid take on what works, what is still rough, and how it compares to closed source agent stacks
This session is for builders, founders, and anyone curious about where open agent infrastructure is heading. Talk followed by open Q&A with casual networking after.
