[Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) is an open-source AI agent from Nous Research with advanced tool-calling capabilities, terminal access, a skills system, and multi-platform deployment (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp). The Honcho integration gives Hermes persistent cross-session memory and user modeling.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Honcho support is built into Hermes Agent. See the [Hermes Agent README](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) for full installation and configuration instructions.
|
|
|
|
The integration is opt-in and requires:
|
|
1. A Honcho API key from [app.honcho.dev](https://app.honcho.dev)
|
|
2. The `honcho-ai` package (`pip install hermes-agent[honcho]`)
|
|
3. Enabling Honcho in your Hermes config
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
The integration runs alongside Hermes's existing `USER.md` memory system. Honcho adds cross-session reasoning — prefetching user context into each turn, syncing exchanges for ongoing modeling, and exposing a dialectic tool (`query_user_context`) for the agent to query its understanding mid-conversation.
