Building useful AI agents has historically required either a heavyweight framework or significant custom plumbing. Hermes Agent, the open-source agentic framework from Nous Research, changes that — giving AI engineers a persistent, self-improving foundation for building agents that learn, remember, and reuse skills across tasks. Whether you’re automating workflows or building intelligent assistants, Hermes offers a practical and powerful starting point.
In this code-along webinar, Nihal Kumar Kadri, AI Engineer, will walk you through how to build a shopping assistant using Hermes. You’ll explore how to architect effective agents, leverage Hermes’s persistent memory and skill system, and apply the framework to a real-world e-commerce automation use case. By the end of the session, you’ll have a working shopping agent and a solid foundation for building your own Hermes-powered workflows.
