Your own Hermes agent, live in a few minutes.
The open-source agent from Nous Research on a managed cloud VM. Persistent memory, skills, browser, and cron. Free tier is live.
Deploy HermesHermes is the general-purpose agent you shape yourself. It remembers you between sessions, picks up skills as it works, and runs scheduled tasks while you sleep. On Hivra it lives on a private virtual machine that stays on, so nothing resets when you close the tab.
You bring the model provider you already pay for. Paste a key, name the agent, and start giving it work: research briefs, recurring workflows, builds inside its own workspace. The chat, terminal, files, and skills views sit on top of the standard open-source agent. We don't modify it.
The Free plan runs one lean Hermes agent at $0 (0.5 vCPU, 1 GB RAM). When you want more agents and more compute, Pro is $9.99 a month and Power is $19.99.
- Bring any supported model provider. Your key, your usage, no markup.
- Add skills and integrations as you go.
- Persistent workspace with browser, terminal, files, and cron.
How it works
- 1Pick Hermes on the get-started page. Choose a plan. The Free plan is enough to launch one Hermes agent.
- 2Hivra provisions a private VM. Your box comes up in a few minutes. No VPS, no Docker, no config files.
- 3Connect a model provider. Paste the API key you already have. The agent runs on your provider account.
- 4Give it work. Chat with it, schedule recurring tasks, and let it keep working after you log off.
Self-hosted vs managed, honestly
- Self-hosting Hermes means a VPS, Docker, a reverse proxy, SSL, and you on call when it breaks at midnight.
- Hivra provisions the box, keeps the agent running, restarts it when it crashes, and backs it up.
- You keep full control: the same open-source agent, your own provider key, full data export any time.
- Free to start on Hivra. A DIY setup costs a VPS bill plus the weekend you spend configuring it.
What does it cost to run Hermes on Hivra?
The Free plan is $0 and runs one lean Hermes agent on 0.5 vCPU and 1 GB RAM. Pro is $9.99 a month for up to 3 agents on 2 vCPU and 4 GB. Power is $19.99 a month for up to 5 agents on 4 vCPU and 8 GB.
Do I need my own API key?
Yes. Hermes runs on the model provider you connect. You paste your own key and usage bills through your provider account. Hivra adds no markup on inference.
What happens when I close my laptop?
Nothing stops. The agent runs on a managed cloud VM, not your machine. Scheduled tasks fire and long jobs keep going whether you're online or not.
Does Hermes keep memory between sessions?
Yes. Memory lives on the VM's persistent storage. Come back tomorrow or next month and the agent still knows your projects, preferences, and task history.
How fast is deploy?
The VM comes up in a few minutes. From signup to a working agent is usually about 5 minutes.
Is this a modified version of Hermes?
No. Hivra hosts the open-source Hermes agent unmodified and adds a convenience layer around it. Hivra is an independent hosting service and isn't affiliated with Nous Research.
