Agents: Hermes and Openclaw

The two most-used AI agent harnesses right now. Each block covers what it is, how to install it, its repository and the latest release (pulled nightly from the registry), plus related news from the feed. Version numbers come from the Releases monitor; nothing here is guessed.

Hermes

NousResearch · self-improving agent · CLI / TUI

Hermes is NousResearch's self-improving agent: it creates skills from experience, improves them during use and runs anywhere. It ships as a CLI with an Ink-style TUI and speaks the agent protocol used by other coding harnesses, so it can slot into the same workflows as Claude Code and Codex.

pip install hermes-agent

Openclaw

openclaw.ai · personal AI assistant harness · any OS / any platform

Openclaw is a personal AI assistant that runs on your own machine across any OS and platform ("the lobster way"). It is an agent harness: it wraps a model with tools, memory and safety boundaries, and is commonly paired with structured multi-agent engineering setups.
